02:48:30, 10 April 2016 review of submission by RenegadeTerry[edit]


Please explain in detail why my page has been denied. Thank you

In the box of the top of the page is a detailed description of what I feel is wrong with this article. It does not contain any references to third-party independent sources, and therefore we cannot verify that the information provided is true. Please review the guidelines on biographies of living people, as well as the instructions on references. Please note that if multiple independent sources cannot be found for this topic, it does not belong in the encyclopedia and will continue to be rejected. If you have any further questions, you may ask them here or at User talk:RenegadeTerry/sandbox/Terry Morton. Hope that helps. Bradv 02:54, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

12:49:02, 10 April 2016 review of submission by MilenaGlebova1989[edit]


Hi editors! I have submitted this article for review and got declined due to it not being notable.

Please see the following article that has been posted and approved: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gandra_(Esposende)

It is similar in nature, or am I off on that?

It is a small populated municipality or division, with population smaller than the municipality I am describing. It has two sources, one of which is in Portuguese.

I could not find any English sources for my article, however, please also see the following page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saratov#cite_note-2010Census-10. It has resources that are in Russian. How come those are valid?

There are third party articles that I listed as resources in my entry. One of which is a local media coverage article. How come it is not considered valid?

Please let me know how I can make this article happen.

Thank you for your help and input.

Hi MilenaGlebova1989 as a subdivision of a city it may be difficult to establish that it has sufficient notability to sustain a separate article. I think you could consider adding the information to the Saratov article. The topic specialists at WP:WikiProject Russia might have more specific advice.

Request on 14:17:08, 10 April 2016 for assistance on AfC submission by Doug88Ocean[edit]


Thanks for the note. I would like to know what other information you might need for this, as it is term that should be logical to understand, as nature repeats itself every day, with sounds of nature/animals that call to one another. These sounds happen daily, and therefore they repeat. This is therefore what "Eco Repetition" means. I am not sure what studies or information might be needed to prove this, as I believe it is common knowledge. It is this new term "Eco Repetition", which "qualifies" or describes this occurrence. We have used the word to link that noise or activity to Nature, and when blended with a message to humans, such as a reminder to do something when you hear the sound, you end up with a powerful "alarm clock" of nature, which goes off automatically on a daily basis. I do not believe there is any such way to further study or prove this, as everyone knows the noises happen - it simply depends how that noise is used to become a useful message to humans. In our case, it is via a play or show, which educates and reminds people about undertaking a certain activity - in this case, recycling or better waste management.

I look forward to hearing from you. Doug

Hi Doug88Ocean. The neologism is not a suitable topic for Wikipedia, see Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a dictionary#Neologisms. --Worldbruce (talk) 16:49, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hello @Doug88Ocean:, with new specialized terms, we don't need you to justify the existence of what the term describes, we need you to show that the term itself is being talked about, discussed in media and/or academia. If for example a term is only being used in the informal sphere, or is only used by one academic or them and their colleagues but not taken note of by the wider community, it does not (yet) merit an article. I strongly advise you read WP:Neologisms which explains what kind of acceptance/awareness of the term must be included to get the draft published.

Request on 18:26:57, 10 April 2016 for assistance on AfC submission by Cndrblck[edit]


This article keeps getting rejected for notability, but at this point I have no idea why. The article is for a podcast that is hosted by two people who each have their own Wikipedia pages (their notability is not in question). On top of that, the podcast has been referenced by The Daily Show, Vanity Fair, the Washington Post, etc. I specifically added content to the introduction that calls out the notability of the podcast.

How is this not notable?

21:46:00, 10 April 2016 review of submission by Gute Recherche[edit]


Daniel Puente Encina biography was classified as an C article and I'd love to know how I might improve it. I will keep on collecting information. Regarding his birthdate he never told anybody the truth. I listened to several interviews where he gave weird answers with fictive numbers as eg "I am 468 years old and I want to become 900". If somebody doesn't want to reveal his or her age, I think we should respect personal decisions. I started to collect information about this artist in 1996.Gute Recherche (talk) 21:46, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Gute Recherche This page is for questions about the Articles for creation process. Now that your draft has been accepted, it is outside of our scope. I suggest the following links, but the Wikipedia:Help desk may be able to give you better advice:
Translate or improve other articles. (See Wikipedia:Translation, Wikipedia:Community portal, or one of the projects like Wikipedia:WikiProject Musicians if you are unsure where to start. If your interest in culture extends to art museums, Grazer Kunstverein [de], Kunstmuseum St. Gallen, and Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg need translation.) The more widely you edit, the more ideas you'll have about how to improve your first article. --Worldbruce (talk) 02:31, 11 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, thank you Gute Recherche (talk) 08:06, 11 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
