05:06:50, 11 December 2021 review of draft by 2603:8081:2840:EA1:F5A9:BF16:EF2C:5F40[edit]


This is the message I recieved after submitting. "This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia." What type of sources do I need to show that the article is substantive? Thank you, Metaverse man 2603:8081:2840:EA1:F5A9:BF16:EF2C:5F40 (talk) 05:06, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Simple, Wikipedia is NOT a marketing tool. Come back when independent reliable sources of high quality have covered the game as notable. 14:31, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
Above is good advice. Right now, there are too many primary sources, controlled by the game developers. And, to be honest, crypto trade publications are getting a bad rap for being too promotional and not reliable sources. If this game is a success once it launches, you'll have no problem finding media coverage to demonstrate notability. I made some minor fixes to clean it up, but the sourcing is still insufficient. See WP:GNG and WP:RS. TechnoTalk (talk) 19:59, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Why my page on Tangentia Inc. has been declined? LekhaSaraf (talk) 13:38, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

LekhaSaraf The reason was given by the reviewer. Your draft has no independent reliable sources. A Wikipedia article must not merely tell of the existence of the company, it must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the company, showing how it meets Wikipedia's special definition of a notable company.
If you have an association with the company, please read WP:COI and WP:PAID for information on required formal disclosures. 331dot (talk) 13:44, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I need help with verifying my references.

Llamaah1029 (talk) 17:57, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You have a reference. One source won't cut it for any draft, let alone one about a living person, and that is assuming the source proffered is acceptable in the first place. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Jéské Couriano 21:37, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Llamaah1029 I did a quick Google search and couldn't find any more sources. Probably WP:TOOSOON. If the George RR Martin game ever comes out, that could change. Also, the tone is way too fawning - it's written like a publicist's bio. It needs to be toned down. Phrases like "A prolific and exceptionally talented games composer" and "Her reputation as a composer has only grown" are out of place here. TechnoTalk (talk) 20:06, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

RajRum3ls (talk) 18:43, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

RajRum3ls You don't ask a question, but your draft does little more than tell that(I presume) you exist. Autobiographical articles are highly discouraged(though not forbidden). Your social media accounts and where you offer your music are not appropriate sources. Any article about you must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about you, showing how you meet the special Wikipedia definition of a notable musician or more broadly a notable person. Please read Your First Article. 331dot (talk) 18:46, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Draft has now been deleted as advertising (WP:G11). JavaHurricane 12:13, 12 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The reason was that he was famous in the internet. Starkiryu64 (talk) 22:36, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Previously deleted at AfD Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Scott The Woz. There's also this in limbo Draft:Scott Wozniak. A quick Google search doesn't uncover any sufficient coverage to demonstrate notability. Probably another WP:G11. TechnoTalk (talk) 20:17, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
