12:09:29, 25 August 2015 review of submission by Fwisniewski
I have asked to name sources, but there are no direct quotes and all other information is in the public domain. Also, I have beenb asked to remove {db-afc} and {db-g13} but I do not know what these are. Many thank, Nigel Leach I have submitted this article a few times now and it keeps getting declined. I would like to have to assistance on how I can make this adhere to all of the Wikipedia rules to setup this page. If someone could get in touch regarding this it would be much appreciated.

 * , in looking at the references, none of them actually talk about BAFE; they simply say "we use BAFE accreditation" without giving any significant detail about the organisation itself. Notability is determined by how much coverage the subject receives, and receiving only single-sentence mentions does not pass the threshold. Primefac (talk) 12:29, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

14:27:15, 25 August 2015 review of submission by Joebattimelli
Can you please give more information/specifics as to why the article has been declined? There is mention of the subject not being noteworthy enough but examples of others in his field are on Wikipedia. From what I can see, the sourcing/referencing is within Wikipedia guidelines.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

 * , half your references are from Unilever itself or its press releases, which are PRIMARY sources and thus not usable for demonstrating notability. LinkedIn is not a reliable source at all, and I have removed those references. You'll need more sources that are not directly connected to Weed or his companies.

 * And just as a general rule of thumb, while directors and CEOs of public companies are probably notable, I would suggest that other corporate executive rarely are.--ukexpat (talk) 13:53, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

 * This is the only contribution 72.26.166.84 has ever made to en:Wikipedia. It is impossible for us to guess what submission it refers to. Maproom (talk) 16:33, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

17:06:38, 25 August 2015 review of submission by GemmaSuyat
Hi there, I've recently submitted an article on my company's CEO, Marc Nohr: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Marc_Nohr. I just wanted to get some advice on why it's been rejected three times for not including enough substantial coverage and demonstrating his nobility. If you look at the article you can see whilst some references are just mentions in passing, I've still included a fair few that speak specifically about the individual. Is there a certain number of articles specifically on the individual that need to be included for it to pass?

Also just looking at other profiles of advertising CEOs, some don't seem to include many references discussing the subject and instead link out to several Wiki pages so just want to understand how this works? I'd really appreciate some detailed feedback on how I can improve the article, for example I've referenced this article which directly talks about Marc's hire as Fold7's CEO (http://www.campaignlive.co.uk/article/nohr-named-fold7-chief-executive/1338786), and also another about him leading an agency 100 poll (http://www.marketingmagazine.co.uk/article/803761/nohr-heads-power-100-agency-leaders) can you explain why this material isn't valid?

Thanks in advance, GemmaSuyat (talk) 17:06, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

Request on 18:52:11, 25 August 2015 for assistance on AfC submission by TodayTix
I would like assistance with making the content as verifiable as possible so that my submission does not get rejected again. I need help with the citations and references as my first submission got rejected.

 * Giving your submission a quick glance, I see two main issues: 1) it's non-neutral and ad-like; 2) it's deficient in references. As for the first point, this is easily fixed. Try writing the article as an objective overview of the topic and not an advertorial; provide facts, not interpretation. Secondly, we are looking for extensive coverage from independent and reliable sources, such as magazine or newspaper articles, books, reviews, etc.; most of the paragraphs are currently unreferenced, so I would look into that if I were you. Best, FoCuS contribs ;  talk to me!  20:36, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

I would like to cancel my AfC submission and instead just move the article to the mainspace, as I feel the article is finished and the AfC process is taking too long. Can I do that and, if so, how?--Invisiboy42293 (talk) 21:47, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

 * , it's been 12 days, and there are over 500 pages to review (and we only have about a dozen reviewers active at the moment). We're doing the best we can, and your page will be looked at soon. Please have patience. Thank you. Primefac (talk) 07:36, 26 August 2015 (UTC)


 * I understand, and I don't mean to seem rude or suggest anything negative about the editors at AfC. I know that my article is just one of hundreds you guys are working hard to get through, and I don't want to minimize that at all. Truth be told, this was something of a misclick; I usually just move my drafts straight to the mainspace when I'm done with them. In other words, I'm probably just used to these things happening instantaneously. Anyway, keep up the good work, and hopefully my article will be reviewed fairly soon.--Invisiboy42293 (talk) 20:12, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
