Alivia watkins (talk) 00:37, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply] 

   why was my article declined? I had correct spelling and punctuation. I was not given a real reason why my article was declined. can you please tell me how to fix my article? Alivia watkins (talk) 00:37, 16 May 2020 (UTC) Alivia watkins[reply]
You were given a reason, are you not able to see the decline message at the top of the article?
more precisely, you wrote an extremely negative unsourced article about an organization--an organization about which we already have a properly sourced properly balanced wikipedia article. It would be better to start with some subject about which it is easier to write a neutral article, and to always add references providing substantial coverage from third-party independent reliable sources, not press releases or mere announcements DGG ( talk ) 19:31, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thoufiq313 The messages telling you that your drafts were accepted are on your user talk page. 331dot (talk) 08:38, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
331dot Sir Some of the Drafts were accepted in my User draft page but for some, I did not receive any such kind of message. --Thoufiq313 (talk) 08:58, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thoufiq313 You have two drafts that have not been submitted for review. You will need to add {{subst:AFC draft}} to each draft(as you see it when reading this page, without the nowiki tags I placed in the edit window to suppress their function here) and then submit them. 331dot (talk) 09:13, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

06:29:49, 16 May 2020 review of draft by 2405:201:C80D:27EA:3595:79EA:1F39:4106[edit]


Hi, This is my first article on Wikipedia. Can you please help me on what is required from my article to get it approved and get published. Or specifically on what information needs citations.

The draft is a clear promotional piece for Mr. Dhawan. It reads as a resume and not an encyclopedia article. Please read Your First Article for more information, as well as WP:CITE for information on how to cite sources. 331dot (talk) 08:37, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

19:40:59, 16 May 2020 review of submission by Knowledgenerd95[edit]

Hi, the article was declined because it says it not of notability and YouTube and IMDb are not reliable sources. There are other sources that are not blogs or social media links, they’re articles available on google news. From what I understand, these are reliable sources are they describe the life and career of the person described in the article and they’re present on the news. Knowledgenerd95 (talk) 19:40, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

PLEASE READ THE ADDED REFERENCES, 11,12,13,14 to see if they qualify. thank you Knowledgenerd95 (talk) 19:58, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Knowledgenerd95 Your draft was rejected, not just declined, meaning that the reviewer feels there is little to no chance it can be improved enough to meet Wikipedia standards. Please heed the advice you were given by the reviewers. 331dot (talk) 22:45, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Knowledgenerd95: The draft describes the subject as a "rising star", which is generally synonymous with "not notable" (not suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia). Medium.com is a blog, not a reliable source. Citing it is another uncannily reliable sign that the subject is not notable. US Times Now, The Open News, and Verna Magazine are promotional junk from him or his publicist, with no signs of independence and none of the characteristics of reliable sources. Rejection (without the option of resubmission) was the correct call on the draft. --Worldbruce (talk) 03:51, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I want to publish Ankit Prakash Singh page on Wikipedia because he's an Indian journalist and his page should be on Wikipedia. Iapsingh (talk) 23:44, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Iapsingh. Rejection of the draft is meant to convey that the subject is not notable (not suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, whatever your personal feelings are). No amount of editing can fix that problem, so volunteers do not intend to review the draft again. --Worldbruce (talk) 04:02, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
