Changes Made
Hi Sulfurboy, hope you're doing well.

I am writing to follow up on a declined article. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Faizal_Kottikollon

I made necessary changes to the article as advised but I am not sure if those are enough? Could you please check and advise?

Thanks so much

Declined Page
Hi Sulfurboy,

I'll continue to make edits based on the feedback provided. I am not paid to do this. I'm relatively inexperienced at this, I think this is the third article I've created. But the motivation is because I am a local from the community and just felt they deserved citation. Perhaps I'm wrong but that is the reason for this wiki. I'll do my best. Thanks so much for moving it. Regards.  Stufroguk ( talk ) 10:58, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Draft:The Unicorn Penny
Hello Sulfurboy. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Draft:The Unicorn Penny, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: user isn't blocked. Suspected sock only at this point. If that firms up, relist. . Thank you. Ged UK  14:56, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
 * , Sounds good. For my own edification, to you mind giving me a quick rundown of the circumstances that would lead to that being placed on someones user page if they're only suspected. Like does being suspected of being a sock come with any sort of ramifications? That is, does being a suspected sock come with any sort of restrictions or things I should be on the look out for? Cheers Sulfurboy (talk) 15:02, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm not hugely familiar with it, but it's a tag anyone can put on. There should be an investigation undertaken, see Sockpuppet investigations. Ged  UK  15:10, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
 * , Yeah, I was just curious because User:Truthiskarma was blocked for being a sock of User:Georgeko, so it would seem that the sockmaster should be blocked too? Pinging who can maybe provide some insight to this. Sulfurboy (talk) 15:13, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Maciek_Hrybowicz
Hi Surfboy, Thank you for looking at my entry so quickly. I will have a look at the links you gave me and work on it further.

I'm a little confused about my sandbox being deleted - I thought that was where I needed to work on articles? Does this mean then that Catherine Downes/sandbox is for articles about Catherine Downes and Maciek Hrybowicz/sandbox for articles about Maciek? Sorry I am probably asking very basic questions but I don't fully understand the process and don't want to get blacklisted. Maciek is my husband and has written, reordered, produced a number of albums - some which go back to punk music days and are quite interesting historically (from a music perspective) but hard to find references for as details kept were scant. In terms of his website, the copy was written by me (but obviously you don't know that!)

I will re read the links you sent through and take more time on developing the entry.

Thank you catherine (Catherine Downes (talk) 02:54, 7 May 2020 (UTC))
 * , Submitted articles should be in the draft space. See the message I left on your talk page here. Also, since the subject is your husband, you have a conflict of interest. I've posted details about this on your talk page as well. Let me know if you have anymore questions. Sulfurboy (talk) 02:58, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

Julien Solomita
Hi there,

You recently deleted Draft:Julien Solomita at AFC citing lack of sigcov. According to WP:SIGCOV, the suject "does not need to be the main topic of the source material". I think that this is the case with several of the list style articles I've cited. ie. And these about the podcast:
 * https://www.insider.com/what-youtubers-looked-like-first-video-vs-now-2019-10
 * https://younghollywood.com/scene/5-amazing-cooking-channels-on-youtube-that-ll-have-you-in-your-foodie-feels.html#start-0
 * https://www.bustle.com/p/what-does-dink-mean-hq-trivia-contestants-love-using-this-word-in-the-comments-6637922
 * https://studentedge.org/article/8-podcasts-to-listen-to-instead-of-watching-netflix

I think that there is more than trivial coverage within these articles. Even if it was not, Solomita is the main subject of this article in Inked Magazine https://www.inkedmag.com/original-news/juliensolomita and co-main subject of this Elite Daily article https://www.elitedaily.com/travel/take-last-minute-trip-summers-according-2-travel-vloggers/2031088. All of these links were cited in the article.

The sources are not self-published and are independent of Solomita. I don't think it's fair to say that this article is using any sort of inherited fame as Solomita has over 1 million subscribers in his own right (as cited in a reliable independent source). And has received the aforementioned coverage.

Though subscription count does not guarantee notability, it is an indicator that a subject likely meets the criteria as it indicates meeting criteria 2 of WP:ENT. I'd also argue that Solomita meets criteria 1 of WP:ENT due to his involvement in the podcast, his own channel, Mourey's channel, last-minute trips, and Twitch. And that he meets criteria 3 of WP:ENT due to reasons cited in the InkedMag feature.

Though I realize meeting WP:ENT isn't on its own sufficient, I don't understand why the article doesn't have the coverage required for notability. Could you please clarify why these sources do not constitute WP:SIGCOV. Thanks. Samsmachado (talk) 03:54, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

Moving pages
Hello there. Nothing serious, but just quick note on moves like Ballantine, Alberta2. It's always best to place the G6 tag at Ballantine, Alberta without first moving it to a dummy name (i.e. 2). This helps preserve the original edits in the deleted history of the correct page. I'll go ahead and do that now. Cheers, Reh  man  04:42, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
 * , No problem, I had just been doing it from what I read on the round robin article. But if doing it via G6 makes it easier on the admin side, then I have no problem with it. Thanks for pointing it out. Sulfurboy (talk) 04:44, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for understanding. The merge is complete. It's the same effort from the admin side, just that the deleted history would then be rightly at Ballantine, Alberta. :) Happy editing, Reh  man  04:47, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

Larry Monroe Forever Bridge
Sulfurboy, thank you for reviewing the article Larry Monroe Forever Bridge so quickly. I noticed that after it was placed in the "open" Wikipedia that all of my sandbox edits from when I first created a sandbox page 7 years ago appear in the page's edit history of Larry Monroe Forever Bridge. I only started working on this page in my sandbox on 30 April 2020. Is this normal? I did not put edit summaries on my sandbox edits. I did not know that these edits would be carried over to the open pages. Thank you for all of the work that you do for Wikipedia. BuffaloBob (talk) 14:56, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
 * , So what happened is you created an article in your sandbox and submitted it to AfC and when it was transferred to draftspace and then mainspace, it pulled over the entire history of that page. AfC articles should be created in draft space for example Draft:example or if you want to use the sandbox you need to use forward slash and title of your article to keep it separate from your regular sandbox like User:Sulfurboy/sandbox/examplepage. Is there any info in the history that was pulled over that you're worried about being seen such as private information or anything that would be a copyright violation? Sulfurboy (talk) 15:49, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
 * There is nothing there of a private nature or copyright violation. I was just concerned that it might mess up the page statistics. BuffaloBob (talk) 19:32, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
 * , I don't think it'll be a problem, but I'm going to ping an admin who works in the AfC process to see this and make sure there's not a problem. Thanks for bringing it to my attention and nice work on the article. Sulfurboy (talk) 19:37, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

Regarding how to make an Article free of any kind of advertising elements
Hello,

Thank you for reviewing my article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Noteshelf I am glad you added the comments and reason for rejecting the article. It made me realize the tone was not appropriate for Wikipedia. I understand you must be really busy, but if you could spare some time, could you please tell me how I can make the article more like a true Wikipedia page without any promotional or advertising elements?

B S Shivananda Page Rejection
Hi, This is my first time working on a wiki page. So I did not quite understand why my article was rejected. I checked the guidelines once more and I think he meets guideline 3:

Has won a national or continental championship or women's championship.

According to this, A player who has won a national or continental championship is eligible for a wikipedia page. The person in question here has won a National Open 12 times. Since the term national championship does not signify the type of tournament, I think this qualifies as a candidate. Please excuse me if I have got this wrong. Thank you for your time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Irontigran (talk • contribs) 17:33, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
 * , India's national championship is Indian Chess Championship. He would have to have won that to qualify under guideline 3. Sulfurboy (talk) 17:40, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi, India does not only have National Championships. It has National Opens which has any player from inside the country participating in it. Since you don't specifically state in the rules which National Championship the player has to have won, I think this case qualifies as one.

Also, this profile has a lot more qualification than some other chess related ones - for example Murugan Thiruchelvam is just a 2275 rated player with no title, but his listing exists....
 * That's what the chess project (who set those notability guidelines) has listed as the national championship, and thus what is followed for the guideline. If you have an issue with another page you are welcome to nominate it for deletion if you don't think it should be on wikipedia. Sulfurboy (talk) 17:47, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

Here is one more example - Prathamesh Mokal, with credentials almost equal to the ones I have listed in my page. In chess the IM title is almost as good as a GM title. Please check all this and let me know. Please also take into account that winning a National Team Championship Best Player award is a very significant achievement.
 * Please see WP:INN. Again, if you have issue with other pages being on Wikipedia you are welcome to nominate them for deletion. I didn't create, edit or approve of those pages so I'm not sure why you keep bringing them up. Sulfurboy (talk) 17:59, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

Sulfurboy, My intention on bringing these pages up was not to propose them for deletion - it is to show you how significant the achievements of the player I wish to create a page on, are. Here is another link which shows a win of gold in a National Championship - There is an entry of the said person winning gold in national team championship 2017. Since the regulations do not, and I repeat, do not specify the type of tournament, this should qualify as a page. I request you to reconsider your decision. I will add a reference to this to make my page more authentic.
 * That's not what the project considers to be India's National Championship. I've already pointed out what they do consider it to be. A team championship also would not qualify you to have a page. The only team championship that is considered is the chess olympiad. Sulfurboy (talk) 18:13, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I am thinking that you are being a little less open minded about this than an editor should be. I will make some changes and resubmit this.Thanks and good luck. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Irontigran (talk • contribs) 18:21, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

Here are some other stranger facts for you: There is a listing of Indian GMs and IMs on a page. There there are two unknown entities with no official FIDE ID being listed as GMs. When such blatent abuse of the rules is allowed why not allow the listing of a genuine page? Chandan Katna 2014 Aurifullah Vantala 2000 nowhere in the history of indian chess have these two players been seen! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Irontigran (talk • contribs) 18:58, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

Draft:Merger of Virgin Media and O2 UK
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Merger_of_Virgin_Media_and_O2_UK

I drafted an article about the planned merger between two large telecommunication companies in the UK. The submission was declined as it was deemed as not having "significant coverage". You to implement the info into the applicable company pages. Isn't it silly having the same exact info in two articles? If someone updates one company page to have new info, they might not update the other one too. I'm new to editing, but I asked on the en help IRC and they said mergers usually have their own separate article where they go a lot more in-depth about the merger, as well as having a brief summary with the main article template on each company page.

Could you explain the reasoning behind your decision, so I can either improve the article or learn?

Thanks!

Davwheat (talk) 14:12, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
 * , Articles about mergers need to show sustained coverage and some level of notability. Please note that notability doesn't mean coverage in news, see WP:NOTNEWS. All mergers will get coverage in the news and is considered WP:ROUTINE. To establish notability, there needs to be sustained coverage of the subject and there must be some sort of lasting notability (other than just the restructuring of companies). A good example is the recently created Merger of Sprint Corporation and T-Mobile US. In this article, we see sustained coverage over a period of years before an article was created. There is also lasting notability, as legal decisions surrounding the merger will have lasting notability as they will affect future mergers. At the very least, this article is WP:TOOSOON and if it were to go to AfD, it very likely would be blanked and redirected to the applicable company pages. Sulfurboy (talk) 14:27, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
 * This appears to me to be overly deletionist. It meets WP:GNG, is a merger between two very large companies, already has controversy about it, and there is a lot of coverage. Simply all of some category of event gaining coverage in the news is not necessarily WP:ROUTINE; all assassinations of public officials will also get coverage in the news, as will all epidemics, and anything else that pertains to the public interest. And yes, being a current event, most of the available sources are news. That is not what WP:NOTNEWS refers to; rather, NOTNEWS means that Wikipedia is not a newspaper. You can write about events currently in the news without writing it like the news, which is the operative difference. Best regards, Vermont (talk) 15:15, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
 * , Not sure why you are saying this is deletionist. This isn't a deletion review. The article wasn't rejected or nominated for deletion in anyway. You're introducing a lot of red herrings here, the implications surrounding epidemics and assassinations have inherent sustained notability as there are lasting effects. However, this is an article about a merger that's barely a week old. We do not even have confirmation that this merger will go through. There's very real WP:CRYSTAL and WP:TOOSOON implications here. This article very likely would be redirected or merged in its current form at an AfD and since our standard is "likely to pass an AfD" this was declined. The user is welcome to resubmit as they please and I'll abstain from review as I typically don't review an article more than three times in a row, however the result will likely be the same. Cheers Sulfurboy (talk) 15:25, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
 * I was using deletionist in reference to the position taken, not exactly that it's about an article being considered for deletion. I don't believe any of what I wrote was a red herring; my comment directly responded to the policies/guidelines you quoted. With regard to WP:CRYSTAL, provided everything is properly sourced from reliable sources, which it is at the moment, that isn't much of an issue. With regard to confirmation, most sources available affirm that it is currently happening, and is not simply a proposed merger in the works of happening some point in the late future, like with the long history of the Sprint/T-Mobile merger. Best regards, Vermont (talk) 15:32, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
 * , I don't think anyone who regularly see my reviews would say I have a deletionist stance, in fact I'm regularly criticized for being the opposite. In terms of the article, this has had zero regulatory approval. The title of the article is inherently crystal as we don't even have confirmation of the merger. If this were accepted are we to rename the article to " Failed Merger of Virgin Media and O2 UK" when the merger falls through? Can you show me examples of wiki pages we have for failed mergers? Sulfurboy (talk) 15:38, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
 * I would argue that, were it to be prohibited by the government, the current title is still acceptable. At the moment, there is confirmation of the merger by multiple secondary reliable sources; if it is eventually prevented by regulators, it is simply a development that can be added to the article. For example, we don't refuse to make pages on future sporting events lest they be canceled by a pandemic or other unforseen circumstance; they are planned, and if they are prevented, the pages are updated as such. There are also articles about mergers that were created long before the merger was completed, such as this one. However, unfortunately it doesn't appear we have any specific guidelines on topics like this. Should we make a section at one of the various noticeboards to seek community input? Best regards, Vermont (talk) 17:07, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
 * , Yeah, if you can find an applicable noticeboard just link me to your post and I'll reply to it. For this case, ultimately the easiest thing is going to be to allow the page creator to resubmit when they feel ready and allow for another reviewer to take a look at it. Sulfurboy (talk) 17:45, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
 * I checked the list of noticeboards and don't see any that seem applicable; probably the only way to do it would be to bring it to mainspace and see if it survives AfD, but I think it'd be better to do what you suggest and allow the page creator to continue working on it. Best regards, Vermont (talk) 18:05, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
 * + I think it's probably best to keep the article ready and continuously update it. As it stands, the merger isn't confirmed to be agreed, they confirmed they were in talks. They deal may still never go through. I'll update here if I expand on it significantly enough to make it worthy of being published. I also hang about on Discord if anyone needs to shoot me a quick message or ping me into existence: MrJeeves#6969 Davwheat (talk) 22:44, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

Draft: Lin Chambers
Hi, Sulfurboy. Thanks for reviewing my recent submission (Draft:Lin Chambers) - I was very pleasantly surprised by the fast turnaround! I posted what's below on the help desk but have basically no idea how this place works so I thought I might as well post here too.

Unfortunately I'm a bit confused. In your review you cited that the article didn't meet the guidelines for PROF -- but I believe the subject explicitly meets multiple criteria.

PROF states that either of the following constitute sufficient notability: 2. The person has received a highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national or international level.

3. The person has been an elected member of a highly selective and prestigious scholarly society or association (e.g., a National Academy of Sciences or the Royal Society) or a fellow of a major scholarly society which reserves fellow status as a highly selective honor (e.g., Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers).

The subject of this article both (1) has been named a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science - which I believe satisfies PROF criterion 3, and (2) has received a medal from NASA sufficiently prestigious as to be authorized as military decoration, which I believe satisfies PROF criterion 2.

Am I missing something? Thank you! Lamacha9617 (talk) 01:55, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

Draft:Dracula (color scheme)
Hello,

I'd like to follow-up on the Draft:Dracula (color scheme) submission. I noticed that you rejected it because it's part of a top ten list. However, after reading WP:SIGCOV again, I noticed it says "Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material.". In any case, I started looking for other resources and I found this publication from 2018, it's in Russian but WP:SIGCOV says "Sources do not have to be available online or written in English". So do you think that would resolve the problem?

Thanks for your time, I really appreciate your insights. Definitely looking forward to becoming a successful Wikipedia editor as you one day :)

in relation to "Philam"
Greetings,

I wrote an article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Philam) about a barangay in Quezon City, Philippines (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barangays_of_Quezon_City). A barangay is a recognized political government entity in the Philippines (a component of city, pretty much like a boroughs in NYC). I was writing an article in contribution to the listed barangays of Quezon City. I wrote an article for Philam, a barangay where I also live. As prescribed by your wikipedia standards (and academic standards), I wrote the article with attached sources from recognized/credible articles from journals and renown newspaper/magazine outlets from the Philippines. Comparatively speaking, the article I wrote had more credible sources than most of the existing articles on other barangays in the Philippines. From my own reading, the article I wrote had more attached citations than the wiki article for Barangay Forbes Park in Makati (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forbes_Park,_Makati). Forbes Park, alongside Philam, are recognized developments that revolutionized "elitist" urban planning in the country. It was even studied in the internationally known journal article, the Japan Architectural Review (it was cited in the wiki article as well).

If you'll go to local Philippine libraries in the University of Santo Tomas and the Ateneo de Manila University, unpublished studies and theses (one of which was cited in the articled) probed into the history of Philam as a pioneering (albeit decaying) gated community in the Philippines. The article I wrote is a "simplified" version of these studies, without necessarily delving into details.

I do not understand why it was given the warning for "promotional advertisement." Can you please provide specifics so that I might be able to provide adjustments on the article.

Hi Sulfurboy,

Thanks for reviewing my submission. You stated that the article gave the impression that I am a paid writer to the subject. I just wanted to confirm that am not. I have not received nor am I receiving any remuneration for the contribution. The manner in which the article was written was fully neutral, purely stating facts and statements based on the references cited. With the significant coverage and mentions of the company in major news outlets and independent, reliable sources, I felt that it deserved citation and meets the notability guidelines.

I hope all is well. Thanks for reviewing my article draft:vibease. If I may, could you give more explanation of why it's being rejected? I believe the article is neutral and not as an advertisement.

Review of Draft:Jose Gozar
Hi Sulfurboy!

Thank you for checking on the draft I am creating on Lt. Jose Gozar. I would like to ask the specific sections of the entry which I need to work on where the language was informal. I already spent quite some time on just writing it in a neutral tone. Did I miss anything? I mainly took on inspiration from the pages of other WW2 flying aces, such as Buzz Wagner and Pappy Boyington.

I know you are reviewing a number of articles, but I would appreciate the guidance.

Thank you! Bootkinero (talk) 05:28, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
 * , I've decided to approve the article. Sulfurboy (talk) 13:13, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

draft:vibease as an employee
Hi user:sulfurboy, Thanks for the quick reply! I really appreciated. Yes, I'm an employee of the company. I remembered I selected "I'm part of the organization" when I created the draft. Anyway, I have disclosed my employer as Vibease. I'm not getting paid for this article though. user:Paul_Handri How do I get my draft to reviewed again?

Laura Woods
Hi Sulfurboy,

I'm just writing with you with regards to the recent rejection you sent on this page - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Laura_Woods_(sports_broadcaster)

I believe I've followed all of your guidelines before sending a message so hopefully you are reading this.

I represent Laura and I'm struggling to see why you have rejected this article - She is a national broadcaster and pretty much a household name in the UK. I have cited several very relevant reference sources - literally the largest UK newspapers and news sources.

I would really appreciate it if you could approve the page - I have looked at similar female sports broadcaster's pages and their reference sources pale in significance.

Best wishes and do let me know if I need to elaborate.

 * , First and foremost, you need to properly disclose as a paid editor if you are representing the subject. I'm posting details on your talk page. Secondly, I gave comments as to what needs to be addressed (which you haven't fixed) are you not able to see the decline messages and comments that conveniently have links to our policies? The article is riddled with unreliable sources. You have not come close yet in establish notability. Sulfurboy (talk) 13:09, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for the quick review - query though
Hi Sulfurboy,

Thanks for reviewing my article Concordat_on_Openness_on_Animal_Researchso quickly. I have revised it adding more secondary sources and basing the text more heavily in their commentary, though I am not sure that this has made the tone of the article any more neutral as most of them are expressing an opinion. I wanted to be clear that the Concordat that is the subject of the article is a document that organisations sign up to, it is not an organisation itself. I hope this is more evident in the new draft.

Understanding the flags recognised for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Kunaal_Kyhaan_Seolekar
Hi @sulfboy

Thank you for pointing out the article requires more work on it.

I would really appreciate if you could please share the points that triggered the movement to DRAFT, so that I can accordingly work upon them.

The designer has several other notable features on him, then I can rewrite them considering those.

As if now, I have only used prominent magazines or brand links. As per your response, will rework those.

Look forward to your assistance in the matter.

Assistance with understanding how to improve the quality of references
Hi Sulfurboy

thank you for taking the time to review the draft page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Angelo_Karagiannis. I would like your help in understanding and consequently improving the quality of the sources used in the above article, as per your feedback. There are, as I type, 18 different citations ranging from article links in main stream newspaper and other media here in Thailand to obviously smaller but also known websites. Would you able to tell me which sources require improving and guide me as to how start doing this please.

I have read through the general Wikipedia pages in referencing approaches but I was unable to find the answers that I was after. I understand that you time is valuable but I would really appreciate your help.

Thank you for the quick reply Sulfurboy.

I have been reading the WP:RS article here on Wikipedia. However, could you be a little bit more specific please: 1. Which citations require to be changed so that they are more reliable? Please name them. 2. Can you give one or two specific example?

Thank you again! Astrid Astrid.krediet (talk) 09:38, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

Okezone
Hello, I translated id:Okezone.com into draft:Okezone. I added a number of references and received a positive feedback that the subject would have enough merit to exists, being that Portal one of the top 20 most clicked website globally. The page already exists in another language (Indonesian Wikipedia) since 2007. Supporting sources have been added, linked to published Books. By moving the page from draft to article, a number of other users would be able to expand the page and adding further references, making it growing organically. --Goodwillgames (talk) 14:12, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
 * , We need to see significant coverage of the subject WP:SIGCOV for it to pass WP:NCORP standards. This simply doesn't exist in the article. The fact that it is accepted on the Indonesian Wikipedia means nothing. We are two separate projects with very different notability guidelines. Sulfurboy (talk) 18:36, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

Declined Article Noah Fischer
Hi Sulfurboy,

I write you because you declined the draft for Noah Fischer:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Noah_Fischer

I would of course improve everything, but to be honest I don't know what else I can do. Because this draft is a direct translation of the German Wikipedia article, which was written also by me. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noah_Fischer

This article is online and therefore approved. So I'm confused - as this article was already approved, but in another language.

Thank you for your feedback, BristolAlex

 * Wikis, in a general sense, are governed by the consensus of their aggregate. German-language Wikipedia observes the rules according to their users. English-language Wikipedia, accordingly, operates by the rules of our aggregate. There are no universal notability rules across Wikimedia projects. Further, that the article about Noah Fischer is online on one wiki does not mean that the article should continue to exist. Further, that the German-language editors have allowed the article to exist means nothing to us. These are separate projects. Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 15:08, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

Kind Advice
Dear Sulfurboy, thank you for you kind contributions in the past.


 * As regards two recently declined AfC submissions for Draft: Aaron D. Lewis and Draft: Quintessa Swindell by you, I think the former has received about 3-5 declines, so I am may be giving up as subject may not meet WP: GNG. However, I want to ask, for Swindell, do they meet WP:GNG. Actually, I mean to ask that is the subject somewhat a possibility for a Wikipedia page, but I haven't been able to prove that they meet WP: GNG and/or article has not been well cited. In any case, please offer your candid advice for both articles.


 * Also do offer your thoughts on this draft, which I haven't resubmitted since it's first decline. What needs to be done, or is this also impossible?.


 * Finally, this draft was not intended to be a draft, I intended to publish it into mainspace, but apparently there is already a page with the exact title, so I couldn't. The said page (in mainspace) is actually only a redirect created in 2018 to Walter Kwok (Geoffrey's father), I think Geoffrey Kwok, who is now the Director at Asia's largest Poperty Development congulmerate, may now meet WP: GNG, and may no longer be a redirect to his father's page. offer your advice, I am really learning these things.

TheEpistle (talk) 20:04, 12 May 2020 (UTC) :If a redirect is blocking a page, you can request WP:G6. However, I can tell you an admin will probably decline it and request that it first be approved by AfC since there's an in place draft. Your best bet is probably just to submit it for review. Most reviewers have page mover rights to be able to publish over the redirect and even if they don't, admins will typically always approve G6 with our nod of approval. Sulfurboy (talk) 01:59, 13 May 2020 (UTC) :: Thank you so much Sulfurboy! These are very helpful. Also, I would get more familiar with the WP:NCORP and probably also suspend those, at least for now. I have submitted the draft, so I will wait for it to be reviewed to know what's next. Once again, many thanks! TheEpistle (talk) 08:28, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
 * In case my request consumes much of your time, I apologize. I really appreciate your efforts too. Thank you!
 * , It's always best to just resubmit as long as you've made good faith efforts to improve the article. I typically do not respond to direct requests to re-review articles as doing so would become overwhelming quite quickly. I'm giving you the benefit of a doubt here since you're not a WP:SPA editor (which 95% of the people who come here are).
 * I've never examined the Lewis article so I won't do so at this time either. The Swindell page looks to be about someone who has had only one major role so it might be too soon for them to pass WP:NACTOR. I'm not going to judge if they could potentially pass WP:GNG. The onus is on the submitter to prove it, not for the reviewer to suss it out.
 * For the company page it would likely be a decline again at this time. WP:NCORP is probably the hardest notability guideline to pass. We need to see WP:SIGCOV in multiple, reliable sources. This does not include press releases, trade magazines or sources that have a limited scope of audience. It also does not include WP:ROUTINE or WP:NOTNEWS matters such as hirings/firings, mergers/acquisitions, funding/investments, etc.

Help with Source
Hi Sulfurboy,

You recently reviewed my page, and asked me to work on sources (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Asian_Access). I am struggling with this one in particular.

Palguta, Mary Kay (2012). [www.missionexus.org "NEW DAWN IN THE LAND OF THE RISING SUN A2/SIM Strategic Partnership for Japan"] Check |url= value (help). eXcelerate. Stone Mountain, GA: Missio Nexus. Retrieved 2020-04-15.

This source, although valid, is problematic. It is from an online magazine that has been archived. I have the actual physical magazine page, but the url is archived, therefore, I added the main page of the source.

It came from this source, but is archived from 2012. www.missionexus.org

How can I make this work?

 * , Hi, please see WP:CITE, I believe you would cite it just the same as a newspaper article. Having a online link to a source is not required (although helpful). Also, for technical questions like this, you're better off visiting the WP:TEAHOUSE. It's not that I mind you asking, it's just that you will get a quicker (and probably more accurate) response there. Sulfurboy (talk) 01:46, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

Hello SulforBoy. I wanted to reach out to see if you would look at the Page you once critiqued. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Christopher_Polvoorde

I went through according to yours and others directions and was hoping it was closer to meeting the wiki guidelines for publication. No one from WP:MOTOR went through it as far as I know. I did join the WP:MOTOR Community and have been active over there when I can find the time.

 * , It's looking a lot better. I would trim if not outright do away with the noteworthy media section. There's nothing particularly notable about a professional driver making media appearances, having a social media presence or appearing in advertisements. It would almost be more notable, if they DIDN'T do those things, if that makes sense. If his YouTube channel is in fact popular, there should be media coverage of it. If there isn't coverage of it, remove it. I would also consolidate the sections, either do it in sections by series or by year. Doing both is a bit much and breaks up the information unnecessarily. There's also a couple of claims made in the article that are not substantiated by the sources. I'll mark those appropriately. Sulfurboy (talk) 02:07, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

Again thanks for the feedback. I went through and added a few more citations, sources, and references. I hope this suffices the initial requirements. I do agree there is a bit of flow irregularity between the sections of Professional Career and the Racing Disciplines & Series. I am really trying to keep both of the sections as it shows the diversity. I am hoping to build up the Professional Career as time goes on and the Racing Disciplines & Series is intended to be a brief note / description. What do you think?
