Hello. Your recent edit to Gauge appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Don't link DAB pages to your user page Meters (talk) 03:16, 7 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your reply, I've read the "first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline" however, I don't seem to see what the next step is? I've published it as a person page, but can't see where to take it to the next step of being qualified as a notable page. Thanks Cam @drivewithcam Tedroach1 03:42, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
 * You say you've read WP:GNG, but you wrote completely unsourced draft article in your user page, and you linked to it from a DAB page. That's wrong on so many levels:
 * It does not belong on your user page. It's not acceptable as an article as is, and while you are working on it, it should be in your sandbox, in one of your user subpages, or in the public DRAFT space.
 * Don't link to it from a DAB page.
 * Source what you write. All of the claims needs to be sourced.
 * Show that the subject is notable. "A topic is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list when it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject."
 * Don't use unencyclopedic language. Phrases such as:
 * "This was not ideal for someone who was trying to avoid punching a hole in the scenery with their car."
 * "The 3rd generation device empowered drivers with a never-before-seen level of comfort and confidence in their driving and how their car performed and responded." and
 * "These valuable insights were received with gratitude."
 * are never going to be acceptable.
 * Writing a new article from scratch is very difficult. It's not something we recommend new editors try. I suggest that you first read Help:Your first article and Writing better articles. Meters (talk) 04:57, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
