August 18[edit]

Request on 00:21:25, 18 August 2021 for assistance on AfC submission by Kosarjaff[edit]


Hi, I have been trying to get this Wikipedia article approved via Articles for Creation process, and I am not sure how to interpret the last two denials I have received. The most recent denial is particularly unclear, as the sources span the author/subject, as well as other independent authors who cited the subject of this article, providing the evidence that the subject is considered an expert who developed substantial new work that advanced the state of the art in the subject's field of expertise. This article is being written to document the work this subject/author completed in their lifetime so that there is a single biographical account with evidence from cited sources that can be independently verified. Please approve this article of creation request, or please let me know how best to understand what the reviewer intends so I can help to add or edit as needed. Alternatively, if you concur with my proposal, I would appreciate guidance on how to proceed.

Like you I am also a volunteer and an enthusiast of the work of scientists and big thinkers and consider it a worthy cause to document even the most humble of achievements for the completeness of the record of science through Wikipedia.

Thank you.

@Kosarjaff: Anything el-Ghonemy writes, even if he just coauthors it, is useless for notability. You have unsourced claims, an overcited claim, and two sources which evidently don't verify the sentence they're cited for. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Jéské Couriano 02:33, 18 August 2021 (UTC) (Re-signing for ping: —A little blue Bori v^_^v Jéské Couriano 02:34, 18 August 2021 (UTC))[reply]

Thank for giving your precious time to review my posted/draft article. I would like to know the proper way to post my article. I created a helpful article instead of advertisment for Author Tarun Bhatnagar.

Please help to write my article in proper described manner of Wiki.

@Techprecious: First off, and I will be blunt: What is your connexion to Bhatnagar? Second, I can't assess the bulk of your sources (language barrier) so I can't opine on the sources themselves, but the sourcing proper and the writing not great. There are some unreferenced/unattributed claims, quite a few of which are promotional in tone and would need to be rewritten or, more likely, eighty-sixed altogether. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Jéské Couriano 13:34, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

We had submitted a draft for review and approval. But the draft was denied and we believe this was due to our references listed. We used our website for references. Do you have any recommendation on how to better list references so our page will be approved? Any suggestions? We are working on a new draft, but would like some guidance on how to list references.

Many thanks.

Read WP:Reliable sources. Anything the subject has commissioned, written, or otherwise controlled/controls the content of is not helpful for notability as we define the term; we're looking for fact-checked and independent news articles or scholarly books that have discussed the subject at length. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Jéské Couriano 13:29, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I looked at the 5 pillars of Wikipedia and I only found information that SUPPORTS my article, I demand you re-review my article 73.43.81.26 (talk) 21:22, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have re-reviewed it and tagged it for speedy deletion as vandalism, your welcome. Theroadislong (talk) 21:25, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I created a page and it was rejected due to a misunderstanding. The earlier version of this page was deleted not because it was not notable, but because it contained similar information to a previously deleted page and was poorly cited.

I request you to kindly look into it with more sensitivity and revive the page.

This writer, author, and activist has brought about significant change in the queer space in a country like India, where “queer rights” are a lot more necessary and required. This page qualifies and should be included on Wikipedia because this person has sufficient notability from various independent sources to be here.
