07:01:00, 23 October 2019 review of submission by Kileyco17[edit]

I wanted to ask how to make this more notable. I would like to complete the mall pages for the Megaworld Lifestyle Malls. Other articles of similar length like the SM City Tarlac wikipedia page is posted but is just as notable as the place my article refers to. Thank you! Kileyco17 (talk) 07:01, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Kileyco17, Please read WP:42 for a great guide on notability. In essence, what you need is better sources. The existing sources are not independent of the subject. A blog is not a reliable source. The article itself is overly promotional in tone. Clean that up, and then you could resubmit it. If such sources cannot be found, then the subject is not notable.

Accolades media and communications My article was declined. Can you please say why that happens. I did not wrote any advertisement here. Please check my article and please publish it.

Your draft Draft:Accolades media and communications has been rejected, it is just blatant advertising. Theroadislong (talk) 08:36, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) Aidenjohan, your draft was declined as it didn't meet the notability guidelines for companies. To have an article, a company has have received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the topic. (WP:42) If this sourcing doesn't exist, we can't have an article, because it would be impossible to verify the contents. To ensure the contents of the encyclopedia somewhat resemble reality, articles must be verifiable - hence your draft was declined. ~~ OxonAlex - talk 08:36, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

RakeshK1137, do you have any questions to ask? ~~ OxonAlex - talk 13:28, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
RakeshK1137, Your draft was rejected as it has no content and no sources. If you wish to have the draft reconsidered, you must add both. Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 04:58, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@JasonVoorheesNaughty: This article seems to be autobiographical, which is highly discouraged. As is, the subject seems to be an average person, with no reason to believe they are notable for inclusion. Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 16:34, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

MarcoLaudato (talk) 15:03, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

MarcoLaudato, Getting a newspaper article is a good start, but usually, more than one reliable, independent source is needed (see WP:42 for a great summary on notability). Generally, 2-3 such sources is the minimum. Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 04:57, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]


Hey! I have amended the draft according to the reviewers criticism. In particular, following the suggestion got on the Wikipedia help center, I have found a newspaper article on the research center which is now the main independent reference of the manuscript. Please, let me know if other modifications are needed to suit the Wikipedia standards!

Kind regards, Marco

As there is no evidence of any notability the draft has been correctly rejected. Theroadislong (talk) 16:10, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 18:55:23, 23 October 2019 for assistance on AfC submission by Rbiweb[edit]


Hello, for once I've tried to publish an article. I've tried my best to follow the helpful directions editors were kind enough to leave for me. Apparently I'm not very good at writing and don't know what else to do. If anyone else would like to take over and write about Landlubber Jeans, please do. I've run out of ideas on what to do next.

20:47:54, 23 October 2019 review of draft by Malta2019[edit]


I am now trying a new Indexed format - dividing into Education, Awards, Books. I am NOT done but would like you to look at this format and see if this is the right direction. I need to keep working on footnotes etc, but feel I need to know if this is the right direction. Malta2019 (talk) 20:47, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Malta2019, Not quite sure what you're going for, but I recommend you examine how other articles look and copy thier formatting. You appear to be trying to use templates (which use double curly brackets such as { }) instead of ref tags to format your references. Please read the guide linked by the last AfC decline regarding referencing. If that is difficult, you might wish to try using the visual editor, which does much of the formatting work for you. Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 04:52, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Malta2019 and CaptainEek: I tried to perform at least some basic cleanup. Howewer, I would have to do the rest on my desktop computer at home on Sunday, as fixing the rest is quite difficult on mobile phones. see what I've done so far.
