09:11:27, 12 June 2022 review of draft by Ruby Stillman[edit]


Ruby Stillman (talk) 09:11, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, my draft has been rejected multiple times, but I am unsure what exactly to change to improve it. If someone could offer specific recommendations, that would be very helpful. My draft is for the Eastern Mediterranean International school. Thank you.

Ruby Stillman You have a common misunderstanding as to what a Wikipedia article is for. It is not to merely document the existence of the topic and tell what it does. A Wikipedia article about an organization must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the organization, showing how it meets Wikipedia's special definition of a notable organization. "Significant coverage" is that which goes beyond the mere reporting of what the organization does. In the distant past, mere existence merited a school an article, but this is no longer the case. As such, you may see other such articles that are like yours, but these simply have not been addressed yet. Interviews, press releases, and announcements do not establish notability. 331dot (talk) 11:12, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

14:20:14, 12 June 2022 review of draft by Arieliris[edit]


Hi, the draft article has been declined by two reviewers - I would greatly appreciate a third opinion or eventually some advice/guidance on how to improve the draft.

The subject of the draft article seems to have significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Michael Murray is one of the youngest CEO at the FTSE 250 company - i.e. some of the biggest listed on the London Stock Exchange.

BBC News, The Guardian, Financial Times, Sunday Times, Telegraph and Bloomberg News, Washington Post reported in lenghts on this - with entire articles and not only whole paragraphs (which might have been enough, too?). The sources are in my understanding reliable - as they represent the UK mainstream media, with Bloomberg, Washington Post from the US in addition hereto. They seems to be independent, too.

There are inline citations to almost every single detail mentioned - to the sources which are reliable, free, on-line and in English.

Thanks a lot!--Arieliris (talk) 14:20, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Arieliris — if you feel that the sources now satisfy WP:GNG and would like to get another review to confirm this, you need to request that by clicking on the blue 'Resubmit' button. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:48, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
thanks a lot for the suggestion @DoubleGrazing- let's see how it works out now. Arieliris (talk) 16:06, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

15:19:42, 12 June 2022 review of draft by Quodprod[edit]


The reason for the decline does not satisfy standard Wikipedia standards on editing in this respect. The editor simply asserts that the article is not written from a neutral point of view and that there are no sources for verifiability. In what way exactly is it not written from a neutral point of view? All that has been presented about the initiative are merely FACTS. Facts sourced to mainstream press, institutional and academic reports. Please, where is the exact feedback about what aspects of the article need to be better sourced and amended to make it more neutral?

Quodprod (talk) 15:19, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I asserted that it reads like an advertisement. Wikipedia has little interest in their "Aims & Objectives" for example and have you read WP:SOLUTIONS yet? Your draft has been created multiple times under different titles and also speedy deleted five times. Theroadislong (talk) 15:34, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 21:35:07, 12 June 2022 for assistance on AfC submission by Wicontrib22[edit]


I don't see why it was declined. Could you please help me to clarify concretely what is needed? I checked the references and footnotes and everything seems correct.

Wicontrib22 (talk) 21:35, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"Education" and "career" sections are unsourced, as is the "Al-Marri’s role in the Qatar blockade" section. Theroadislong (talk) 21:44, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
