01:12:20, 15 October 2021 review of draft by Kalyan1010[edit]

Hi all. Do you think the subject of this draft would meet GNG or WP:NACADEMIC (especially 1b for the Syal Method, as pointed out by the author) in its current state? I personally find that

  • GNG aspect: the media sources are mostly about their research, no significant coverage about the professor themselves
  • NACADEMIC: Too few citations to demostrate the significance of the method in order to meet 1b, not sure if other criteria may be satified

If you find the subject otherwise notable, please feel free to accept it. Otherwise, could you provide some suggestions to the author? 94rain Talk 01:12, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for the comments and help. More than Syal method, in my opinion, his work on synthetic sugars that are nutrient for humans and act as antibacterial, and work on deciphering the mode of action of Vit C on bacteria is of higher value. Vit C was known for boosting immunity and elucidation of its direct antibacterial role and its molecular basis is notable. We can find coverage of his different work in detail in more than three independent sources that include ACS-Omega Journal and Journal of Molecular Biology. I have cited these independent sources in the article WP:THREE. Kalyan1010 (talk) 04:28, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi I'm confused but the draft vs article comments and the process of how to publish the article so will delete and try it again. How do I delete a wikipedia account too?> Dream1924 (talk) 02:28, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Dream1924, you can't delete accounts here for technical reasons. However, you can put a notice on one of the accounts' user page stating that the account was created in error and will not be used for inappropriate uses of alternative accounts. – robertsky (talk) 03:21, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

08:21:20, 15 October 2021 review of draft by Salwa2197[edit]


Hello. If I make a new Kuick page and put it as I get paid to make the page, will I still be declined? Right now I cannot seem to edit the article that I am an employee of Kuick.

Salwa2197 (talk) 08:21, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Salwa2197 You don't need to make a completely new draft, you may edit or even completely rewrite the existing one. You may declare your paid status on your user page, User:Salwa2197, as well as the draft talk page, Draft talk:Kuick. However, the draft is not going to be accepted unless it is radically rewritten to summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about your company, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable company. The sources you offered currently are not acceptable. Please read Your First Article. Keep in mind that the vast majority of companies do not merit Wikipedia articles- and an article is not necessarily desirable. 331dot (talk) 09:02, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 11:37:56, 15 October 2021 for assistance on AfC submission by NirajDavi[edit]



NirajDavi (talk) 11:37, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

NirajDavi You don't ask a question, but writing about yourself is strongly discouraged, please see the autobiography policy. To succeed in writing an article about yourself, you need to set aside everything you know about yourself, only writing based on the content of independent reliable sources with significant coverage of you- showing how you meet the special Wikipedia definition of a notable person. Most people have great difficulty doing that, as people naturally write favorably about themselves. As a journalist, you may be better able to write in this manner than others, but it is still challenging. 331dot (talk) 11:40, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
NirajDavi If you have any comments, please edit this existing section, instead of creating additional sections. This is easier to do in the full desktop version of Wikipedia, even in a browser on a phone(scroll to the bottom of the page and click "Desktop"). The app and mobile versions do not have full functionality. 331dot (talk) 14:03, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

14:14:52, 15 October 2021 review of draft by Mines of Moriya[edit]


The article I am trying to get published already exists in over on the French Wikipedia (as well as a few other languages), but not in English. However, when I submitted it for review, it was declined because:

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.

I'm unclear if that means that there aren't enough sources, or if it's interpreting that the sources aren't good enough, or if I'm somehow being interpreted as being connected to the subject. The last part of the article has no citation because the information in the French version of this article states this, and is sourced, but the source itself doesn't include the described information, so I don't know where it comes from.

Basically, I'm just trying to get an English version of this article available, but not through a 1:1 translation since the French version has questionable sourcing. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Mines of Moriya (talk) 14:14, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Mines of Moriya Fron looking at it I would say that there are not enough sources. It seems to be notable, but that has to be shown with the sources. 331dot (talk) 15:44, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Mines of Moriya And I'd say that it is close to being ready, but not *quite* there. (Which puts it well above 90% of the articles that are asked about here)Naraht (talk) 08:53, 17 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Francoise Blanchard (talk) 15:07, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Francoise Blanchard You don't ask a question, but your draft was rejected, meaning that it will not be considered further. It appears that this musician does not meet the special Wikipedia definition of a notable musician, as shown with significant coverage in independent reliable sources. 331dot (talk) 15:43, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

15:33:25, 15 October 2021 review of draft by Krisrandall[edit]


How do you make a business article public? Any help or advice would be much appreciated? Krisrandall (talk) 15:33, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Krisrandall A draft is "public" in that anyone can access it, if they know where it is. If you are asking how to make your draft formally part of the encyclopedia, there is a lot more you need to do. First, if you are affiliated with this company, please review conflict of interest and paid editing for information on formal disclosures you may be required to make.(being an employee counts as paid editing) Second, any article about your company must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the company(not press releases, brief mentions, staff interviews, announcements of routine business activities, or any other materials put out by the company), showing how it meets Wikipedia's special definition of a notable company. Wikipedia is not interested in what a company says about itself, only in what sources completely unconnected with the company choose to say about it. You only have one source in your draft, and that is the company website- this does not establish notability. Please read Your First Article. 331dot (talk) 15:40, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
