00:31:47, 29 February 2016 review of submission by Rmr8229[edit]


Rmr8229 (talk) 00:31, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm requesting further feedback on my edited submission. Somebody thinks me notable enough to list me in an article on the The British Poetry Revival. This actually is true. I was there and could add a tremendous amount of information about that time. Like me, most of the key people in London at the time have not obtained a wiki page about them. In my case, this is also an issue because there is a Dick Russell (not me) who has a Dick Russell.org website and this confuses people who are looking for me. I believe that other Dick Russell will confirm that he has been approached by people who were looking for me.

With kind regards and thanks

Dick Russell

  • Hello Rmr8229. I had a look at your draft and formatted it to make what references there are clear. The problem is, it requires multiple independent sources which cover Dick Russell and his work in depth in order to meet the criteria for inclusion, (General notability guideline for biographies) or alternatively verification of having won a major poetry prize, having several poems published in a major anthology, etc. They simply aren't there at the moment. I also had a look at British Poetry Revival, and while it's true that most of the people mentioned in there have their own articles, many (probably most) of them don't meet the criteria either and are very poorly referenced. I assume you also know that Wikipedia strongly discourages writing autobiographies. The guidance page on this is Wikipedia:Autobiography. As for adding information to the British Poetry Revival article, any information added must be referenced to a published source and not be simply based on "personal knowledge". No original research and verifiability are two core policies of Wikipedia. If people are confusing you with the other Dick Russell, the best answer would probably be to establish your own website rather than try to use Wikipedia for that purpose, unless you can supply the kinds of sources I outlined.

Hello @Sitaray:, what is your question? MatthewVanitas (talk) 18:07, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Please note that this article is substantially identical the one just deleted per this AfD and is subject to speedy deletion. Coretheapple (talk) 18:35, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hello @MatthewVanitas: and @Coretheapple:, my question is what is wrong with this article wording that it got deleted.
AfC is not the place to contest deletions. Sitaray is an acknowledged paid editor and this conversation is concluded as far as I am concerned, per paragraph two of WP:COITALK. Coretheapple (talk) 14:10, 1 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, right now this looks like a user page, not as an encyclopedia case. You would need to check WP:N and decide whether you are encyclopedically notable. If this is the case, it is absolutely not shown in the article. In this form, it has no chances of being accepted.--Ymblanter (talk) 21:25, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Anwarlanaz: I've just declined the page again for the same reason. If you're keen on having this information posted somewhere, I'd suggest making an account on a social network. Thanks, /wiae /tlk 16:04, 1 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

An article I created has been rejected twice. I have made more changes, and I think the current draft is encyclopedic, notable, and referenced. Would someone take a look at it and see what else I could do? If it is a question of notability, I would like to have more editors involved since at this point, it's just been one editor. It would probably be helpful to have someone with experience in editing articles about documentaries take a look at the article. Any help is appreciated.Radom event gen (talk) 21:22, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I would like to get an article created about the Pasadena Recovery Center based in Pasadena, California. They are the recovery center used on the show Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew. Please let me know how to get this process started. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Incredibleshane (talk) 22:03, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Incredibleshane:, I would recommend reading WP:Your first article, and then go to WP:Article wizard to have it guide you through setting up a draft. Once your draft is Submitted one of us will review it, and either we'll tell you it's not a workable topic, or if it is a workable topic we'll guide you through the process. Bear in mind that even valid articles often go through many cycles of Submit-Decline-Resubmit so just bear in mind it's a repeated process of cleaning up a draft, not a one-time denial.

@MatthewVanitas: Could I recommend them on the Pasadena, California page Pasadena,_California.? There is a section for Television on that page. After that put them in the Reference section?
