Request on 03:51:56, 9 July 2023 for assistance on AfC submission by Jayneelyn[edit]


Hi, I would like to ask for assistance for my article. I have provided sources but apparently, it's not enough to support my article. I understand that there are few articles that can be found online, can you suggest ways on how to improve my article? Thank you in advance.

Jayneelyn (talk) 03:51, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sources do not have to be online. Instead of writing the article and then looking for sources, you should have the sources first so you can summarize them, see WP:BACKWARD. If there are insufficient sources to establish notability, Mr. Kelly would not merit a Wikipedia article at this time. If he is paying you as you state, I would suggest that you return his money and tell him that what he wants is not possible at this time. 331dot (talk) 08:17, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

11:45, 9 July 2023 review of submission by Nansyy[edit]


I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to seek your assistance regarding an article titled "How to Overcome Challenges in Life." I understand that the article was rejected for not meeting the notability criteria for Wikipedia page creation two months ago. However, I firmly believe that the article has now met the required notability standards and would greatly appreciate if you could review it again.

Since the previous rejection, I have taken several steps to enhance the article's notability and ensure it meets the necessary guidelines. Firstly, I have conducted extensive research on similar articles and revised the content to include more credible sources and references from reliable publications. Additionally, I have expanded the topic to cover a wide range of challenges faced by individuals in various aspects of life.

Furthermore, I have sought feedback from experts and professionals in the field who have recognized the significance of this article. Their insights and endorsements have further reinforced the importance of discussing effective strategies to overcome challenges, as it serves as a source of motivation and guidance for many individuals.

I genuinely believe that the revised article now meets all the criteria outlined in the Wikipedia notability guidelines. It provides valuable insights, actionable tips, and real-life examples to help readers tackle the obstacles they encounter on a personal and professional level.

I kindly request your assistance in reevaluating the article and considering its publication on Wikipedia. I would be more than willing to provide any additional information or evidence to support the article's notability, if required.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I eagerly await your response and appreciate any support you can provide.

Hi @Nansyy.
Your draft article was Rejected and will not be considered further. In it's current state it is still entirely unacceptable for a Wikipedia article and would be rejected again immediately.
Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not a how-to guide. The bulk of your article is trying to guide readers on how to "overcome challenges". This is completely inappropriate for Wikipedia and leads me to think you don't really understand what Wikipedia is.
Please read Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not which details the purpose of Wikipedia. In essence, articles only exist to summarise what independent, third party, secondary sources state about a topic. Your article does not do that.
Most of your sources were also totally inappropriate: you cited a Google search twice, an eBay listing, GoodReads, Amazon, Barnes & Noble and other random purchases etc. These are all Wikipedia:Primary sources and cannot be used to establish Wikipedia:Notability. Please read Wikipedia:Citing sources which explains why we require all articles to have robust secondary references.
It might be worth reading Wikipedia:Your first article which gives you the dos and don'ts of creating an article, and Wikipedia:Five pillars which detail the fundamental principles of Wikipedia.
Hope that helps, Qcne (talk) 12:44, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I also wonder if you generated your message above via a Large Language Model like ChatGPT? It has the hallmarks of being written by a chatbot. Qcne (talk) 12:49, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Qcne I think you misread the article its not actually a "how-to guide" but about a book (that probably is a "how-to guide"). Still not notable. KylieTastic (talk) 17:29, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I agree the first paragraph is about the book, but everything after Chapter One seems to be generic advice straight out of a blog post. Maybe it's summarising the book contents...? Qcne (talk) 17:32, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please what should I do, there no way to resubmit my article Nansyy (talk) 12:19, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nansyy Please do not create a new section for every comment, just edit this existing section. There is no way to resubmit it because, as you were told, rejection means that it will not be considered again at this time. Please heed the excellent comments by Qcne. 331dot (talk) 12:23, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

why my article is submission get rejected Simra fatima (talk) 17:30, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Simra fatima
All articles about living people must pass the strict Wikipedia:Notability (people) threshold: you have provided no evidence you meet this threshold, which means you are unfortunately not notable by Wikipedia standards so cannot have an article at this time.
We also highly discourage you from writing an article about yourself due to the clear conflict of interest!
Please remember that Wikipedia is not a place for any type of self-promotion or advertisement. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia: not an advertising platform, directory, or a way to promote a subject. Wikipedia is not a social media site like Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn.

Please accept my friends article and draft Vraj Vaidya (talk) 17:54, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Vraj Vaidya. Your article has been rejected and will not be considered further. There is nothing you can do.
Please remember that Wikipedia is not a place for any type of self-promotion or advertisement. Wikipedia is not a social media site like Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia and only topics that meet our Wikipedia:Notability threshold can have an article.

Would like to provide updated information for 82nd_Troop_Command, which is a sister brigade in the Oregon National Guard. How can the updates get published? Thank you for your time and assistance. OMDPublicAffairs (talk) 20:34, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As your topic wasn't not met the standard of Wikipedia's notability guidelines. So you can put information with sources in the page of Oregon Army National Guard. Thanks PARVAGE talk! 21:04, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
