April 1[edit]
Dear Help Desk I am new to Wikipedia - though I have one article accepted. I have written an article on the French journal Trafic: une revue de cinéma because it was requested by Wikipedia. I was reading an article on Raymond Bellour and was re-directed to the request when I clicked on Trafic for which Bellour is an editor. The article on Trafic was declined because the topic was not notable and insufficient references were provided. I provided 8 references for this short description, including one to an article in the newspaper Le monde' however these were in French. Could this be the problem? I should add that I would not have written the article if it had not been requested. Should I ignore such requests in the future? I read French and was familiar with the journal, so I thought that I might be able to assist. Any suggestions that the Help Desk might have would be much appreciated.

- Yrarendar, Mjwellington - Shall certainly go and have a look at the draft to see what needs doing. And many thanks for helping out with a requested draft. By an odd, but happy, chance, I wonder of you might also be able to help the author above. It is clear they are becoming frustrated by the challenges in demonstrating Notability for a New Zealand author. Given your own success in this area, I thought you might be able to advise on possible sources? KJP1 (talk) 11:10, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
- Yrarendar, Mjwellington - Yrarendar, thanks very much for helping out. I'll go and have a look at both drafts later. KJP1 (talk) 06:04, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
