01:34:54, 15 February 2021 review of draft by Lstewart9[edit]


My submission for a page was declined due to lack of reliable sources. I was wondering if someone could point me towards specific sections on my page that require a better citing.

Lstewart9 (talk) 01:34, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Lstewart9. The problem with the draft's sources is that it doesn't cite any. Every statement you make must be verifiable. The most common way to show readers where you got your information is to cite your sources inline. If you can't cite a source for a fact, you can't include it, even if you're certain it's true. The draft has an "External Links" section that you may have intended as general references. That is not the function of external links. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for more information, and Help:Referencing for beginners for help with the mechanics of citing.
Furthermore, to demonstrate that the organization is notable (suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia), aim to cite at least three independent, reliable, secondary sources that contain significant coverage of the organization. In other words, not its website or publications of its partners, and not directory-style listings. An example of significant coverage of a charitable organization is this article about Friends of the Earth Ghana. --Worldbruce (talk) 02:28, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to get Draft:Digital_Engineering published. It was declined two times already (in different states) and I think that I resolved the reason (missing reliable sources). I don't know how to proceed now.

I am confused as to why our page is being declined. I have added references - the first reference is to the UK's Companies House, another reference to the Care Quality Commission. I have added further references to a UK National Magazine. Our page continues to be rejected.

GertyMaude (talk) 08:05, 15 February 2021 (UTC) As you say in your draft "The page has been created by a company representative to provide a factually accurate record of the company history to date" It has been tagged for deletion as an advert. Wikipedia has no interest in promoting your business. Theroadislong (talk) 08:49, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

15:50:33, 15 February 2021 review of draft by Sarah Desse[edit]


Hi. I don't understand why my article can't be published. This is not an advertisement article. This is a biography of the artist Jisbar. This is an article that I traduced from a french article (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jisbar) on the french Wikipedia. All the sources I quoted are reliables. Can you, please, help me to understand why and get it published ? Thank you.

22:28:22, 15 February 2021 review of submission by Irishmarxman[edit]


I created a wikipedia page for Kewsong Lee. He is the CEO and Director of the Carlyle Group, a private equity firm with over $250 billion under assets; furthermore, Lee holds many prominent positions.

"President of Lincoln Center Theater, Vice Chairman for the US Chamber of Commerce China Center and Vice Chair for the Partnership for New York City. He also is a member of the Business Roundtable, serves on the board of the US China Business Council and FCLT Global, and is a Trustee of the Center for Strategic and International Studies."

I think it's pretty safe to say a wikipedia page is justified.


Irishmarxman (talk) 22:28, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Irishmarxman, Since we already have an article for The Carlyle Group, it would be better to create Kewsong Lee as a redirect to this (using the text #REDIRECT [[The Carlyle Group]]), and put any information about him there, provided it is accompanied by an appropriate citation. Often, it's better to expand existing articles than create new ones. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 22:30, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 23:00:46, 15 February 2021 for assistance on AfC submission by Jake Smithy[edit]



Jake Smithy (talk) 23:00, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Jake Smithy: Hi there, although you didn't mention it, you appear to be referring to Draft:Will Rowlands. The article in its current shape is just a wall of text. You should try to format it properly. You will also need to add references, and before you submit it for review, you will need to be able to show that the article meets our General Notability Guideline or our specific notability criteria for actors, found at WP:NACTOR.

Actually, this is more complicated mess, and I will explain on your talk page. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 00:10, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
