You don't ask a question. 331dot (talk) 08:30, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I am not sure why this article was declined. Could you please advise the specific problems that I should make improvement? Derekt0729 (talk) 08:24, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The draft just tells about the company and appears to be sourced to press releases or announcements of routine business transactions. Wikipedia articles must do more, they must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about a company, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable company. Press releases, routine announcements of business transactions, staff interviews, or other primary sources do not establish notability.
If you work for this company, please review conflict of interest and paid editing for information on required formal disclosures you must make. 331dot (talk) 09:20, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Boli12345: Please do not copy text from elsewhere onto Wikipedia. In my experience, 99% of the texts not written speficially for WIkipedia are also unsiutable for Wikipedia. When writing Wikipedia articles, please make sure that you write in your own words, based on what reliable sources unconnected with the subject have choosen to write about a particuler topic, without interpreting or connecting sources.

16:03:45, 23 February 2021 review of submission by Benarizon[edit]

i published an article about someone who had no prior details on Wikipedia. however my article was declined and the page im referred to, as already existing is not accurate! Benarizon (talk) 16:03, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Benarizon: When you created the draft, the other article did not exist. It was created 11 days later and exists at Samuel Nuamah Donkor. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:51, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 17:29:01, 23 February 2021 for assistance on AfC submission by Waleayanda[edit]


I hereby request assistance in creating the page as having edited it several times without getting it. I believe my request is been granted I will learn from that, as learning is a continuous process.Waleayanda (talk) 17:29, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Waleayanda (talk) 17:29, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

19:38:33, 23 February 2021 review of draft by Jim Barfly[edit]


Hi, I rewrote my article that was previously declined. But I'm not sure if I submitted it correctly. Can I have a little help submitting this article and getting it reviewed?

Thank you.

Jim Barfly (talk) 19:38, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Jim Barfly, sure, looks you still need to resubmit it - there is a Button "Resubmit" on the page, you just need to click it. If you need further help let us know. CommanderWaterford (talk) 20:48, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Jim Barfly: You also need to delete the puffery in the article. Looking at some of the grandiose claims, like that the subject is "successful", family members were "preeminent", the "prestigious" school the subject attended, what he "excelled" at, the irrelevance of "30 plus Grammy winning" in re: his concert production, it would almost seem that the subject is writing this article about himself. If that is the case, that would constitute a conflict of interest, and people with conflicts of interest shouldn't edit articles they are entwined with. As it turns out when people write about themselves or their loved ones, they often find it difficult to be objective, and often get upset when the content they are adding receives criticism or winds up declined. If you have such a conflict, you are strongly discouraged from editing this article. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 22:08, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
