15:27:58, 8 November 2017 review of draft by Binazir1987[edit]


Hi. Dear madam or sir would you please help me? I am making an article for an Iranian director. Many of my references are from Iranian websites, Iranian news agencies, Iranian newspapers etc. So they are written in Persian. Now I want to know when I am writing the detail about a reference, can I write the title, the name of the agency, the name of the newspaper etc. in Persian? Or I should translate them all to English? Binazir1987 (talk) 15:27, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Binazir1987: There is no requirement to do that. But look at Template:Cite_web#Foreign_language_and_translated_title for how to do that if you want to (it would be helpful). Galobtter (talk) 16:47, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Why was this submission declined? I find it interesting if a software product used by thousands of organizations worldwide is not considered notable enough. I rewrote a large part of the article with references so the previous deletion should not play a part. What should be done better? Jopo (talk) 19:11, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Jopo. The reason your article was declined (pinging Kiteinthewind in case I'm wrong) was most likely because your article has to walk a fine line with CSD G4. I see you took part in that deletion discussion - and although the CSD criteria do make an exception for material that is substantially different from those that were deleted, I'm not sure how different it really is. Keep in mind, I can't see the deleted page. If you're confident it's substantially different than the version that was deleted, go ahead and re-submit — FWIW, I probably would've accepted it.
