I sent the link the link of IMDB as reference which got declined. So If imdb can not be reference then what references are valid? Ansh Rathore (talk) 14:00, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
- Hi Ansh Rathore. Wikipedia strongly discourages autobiographies. If that's what you're trying to write, please don't. A subject who has had cameo roles, worked as an assistant director, and directed a short film, is unlikely to have received the significant coverage in independent, reliable sources that is necessary in order to be included in Wikipedia. As his career progresses, more people may write about him in reliable sources.
- Among the links you were given on your talk page and on the draft in connection with it being declined is one that describes characteristics of reliable sources. Wikipedia:WikiProject Film/Resources lists specific resources that have been found useful for writing about film. Many of the same sources can be used for writing about actors and directors. The essay "Wikipedia:Points to note while debating in WikiProject India related AFDs" lists some India-specific resources. --Worldbruce (talk) 18:49, 30 November 2017 (UTC)

We have received feedback that our references do not adequately show our notability. What kind of references would make this page seem notable? The sources are from magazines and other publishers that have written articles about the company. In addition, is there a way someone could point out which parts of the article seem to have a promotional tone? This would be extremely helpful.
Thank you! Meredith hudson00 (talk) 20:43, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
- Meredith hudson00, You said "We". Does this mean there are multiple people using your account? If so, WP:NOSHARING states this is not allowed by Wikipedia policy. If not, are you speaking on behalf of the company that your page is about? If so, you must declare a conflict of interest per WP:COI, or, if you were paid to create the page, you must disclose this per WP:PAID. JTP (talk • contribs) 02:39, 1 December 2017 (UTC)

Hey! I just wanted to know how do we go about creating a page for a legit/operational start-up like Nocializer? I tried creating the page, however the effort was not approved at this time. How do thriving start-ups like us create an article on Wiki? Thanks. Sanjunair (talk) 21:16, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
- You don't, Sanjunair. This is an encyclopaedia, not a business directory. Our volunteer editors write articles on notable companies if and when they have been subject to substantial coverage in other published sources. Per our conflict of interest policy, you should not write about your own company. – Joe (talk) 10:07, 1 December 2017 (UTC)
Roger that. Thanks. - Sanju
