Article you are working on
Hello and thanks for your message on my talk page. There are some formatting problems with your draft - if you like, I am happy to make some edits to make it conform to the wikipedia manual of style - just let me know if you would like me to do that. The bigger issue is around references and establishing notability. You have websites such as linked in and IMDb as references, these are not acceptable (see WP:UGC), so need to be removed, and if possible independent, third-party reliable sources found for the information, otherwise the information should not be included. You also have content in the article and sources that do not relate directly to Rooks, who seems to be the subject of the article (it needs to be either about a person or about a company, it cannot be about both). If the article is intended to be about Rooks, it still reads more like a resume than an encyclopaedia article. To establish notability, you must demonstrate from independent sources (not connected to Rooks or his companies) that he meets the notability criteria, which I do not think you have yet done. Are there books or newspaper articles that specifically cover him? Please have a look at WP:GNG and WP:BIO and see if he specifically meets the criteria listed. Thanks, Melcous (talk) 05:58, 12 June 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply and offer to assist in editing
Hi Melcous. Thank you for your reply and clarification of issues in more layman's terms. I now better understand the issues with my article, while now more perplexed in finding solution. I had the article that I had revised internal Wiki links in my Sandbox for close to 12 hours (I had fallen asleep) and missed seeing your message.

In worries of pre-deletion I posted the article for review. I see as I am typing this that the article was rejected, but further explanation and an offer to go to the Teahouse for assistance.

If I understand correctly this means I can try again and place my draft back in my Sandbox where I can work and receive help from you and other Wiki editors then resubmit after revisions and referenced edits.

I am understanding of some of the references issues coming from sources more tied to my subject. I always thought IMDb was a reliable resource for the film industry as additions to their information follow a protocol of confirming information. Where else is considered a reliable film industry source. I see both films Dolemite and Disco Godfather both have their own Wiki articles. Although OLD news, I thought that alone makes Rooks notable since he was an Executive Producer and Producer on these two projects? I see this old news, that I found referenced best to be the building blocks of Rooks involvement in the Entertainment industry.

I understand your point with reference to the shifting of the individual and reference to his company and their purpose. Does that mean eliminating reference to his current title and company or is that exceptable to reference his company "About us" in the most simplest of terms? His company is referenced in Bizapedia as to their filing in Nevada and California.

Certainly I would include his involvement as a Board Member of the Black American Political Association of California (BPAC), that I have seen this validated in print on their report; however, they do not list board members on their site. Also as a Board Member of Hollywood Media Institute, this is a division of his company listed on their website; there is no other reference to Board Members I've found yet; does this mean no reference is made in the article as well as membership in the UN and NAACP?

I'm so confused I'm not even sure this was how I was suppose to respond to you on my talk page using what coding to get your attention Melcous (talk)? Is this coded correct and best to remove our discussion about my page to my talk page? Was this message to go on the bottom of my talk or is it placed correctly under editing our conversation?

Thank you so much for your assistance and offer to help is greatly appreciated. I'm busy for the next few hours. I'll check back later. ChigoLoft (talk) 21:06, 12 June 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for Feedback
Thanks Ringbang (talk) for your input and advice to better compose an acceptable Wiki article. As I get back into my efforts to re-write and attempt to make acceptable revisions to a publishable Wiki article, I will consult back with you and utilize the Teahouse to interact with you and other Wikipedian Editors. I have more research to do on both Wiki procedures and my subject for more external verifiable references. I welcome any edits or suggested revisions once I posted in my Sandbox with a revised draft.
