Request on 07:29:28, 25 March 2015 for assistance on AfC submission by Jefferyseow
Re: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Satwant_Singh_Dhaliwal

Rejection cites This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. I cannot see where the article has been written in the informal style and am still waiting for someone to point out the problem passage(s). Rejection cites Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. I have cited published works, to wit, The Star (a national daily English-language newspaper), Asia Samachar (an independent news portal for Sikhs in Southeast Asia and the surrounding countries like Hong Kong, Australia and New Zealand), The Straits Times (a national daily English-language newspaper), published UNESCO meeting proceedings, publications of the Pacific Science Association and the Malaysian Historical Society and an awards list from the office of the Prime Minister of Malaysia. Blanks were filled in from his unpublished resume and bio in order to make the writing more cogent. I'd like to know which of these is deemed unreliable or non-independent.

Rejection cited Please make sure to avoid peacock terms, that are designed to promote or show-off the subject. I did not use any peacock terms. But I did cite things that notable people said about him in an article. Is citing what someone said in an article not allowed? If citing is allowed, then please someone point out where I have used peacock terms.

Thank you. jefferyseow (talk) 07:29, 25 March 2015 (UTC) jefferyseow (talk) 07:29, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

Would like to change the title to "Sustainability Rating for Transportation andItalic text Other Infrastructure"

Can't seem to find the source of the "reference not included" diagnostic.

Would ultimatly like this article linked to the other wickpedia articles cited.

Meanwhile, a bit confounded by the bibliography -- footnotes seem in order, so perhaps that's sufficient.

Thank you.

 * One thing you should change is that, instead of inserting hyperlinks to other Wikipedia articles as references, you should instead wikilink the relevant terms directly in the text of your article. CHEATSHEET can help you with how to create wikilinks and other basic aspects of formatting.


 * Avoid language like "has been generally accepted as" and "It is thought by some that", as these can give the impression of being vague. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 11:52, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

There was a wikipedia page for "Rafael Yañez". Was the page removed by Wikipedia for a specific reason, or was it vandalized? The page had previously been vandalized and cleared before being the action was undone and the page returned the normal. Now the page redirects, and the content is gone. Is it somewhere?

 * I took a look; User:Tiller54 deleted it and created a redirect as "puffery nonsense" . I'm somewhat surprised - it's clear the article had multiple issues, but he didn't propose the merge, redirection, or deletion before doing it (not that I would know if such is policy or not - I'm quite new, myself). --DawnDusk (talk) 02:55, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

Hello. My draft was declined on the notion of notability. As underground independent artist, the press coverage of Scaramanga is understandably very limited. However, I'd argue that he meets at least one criteria from the guidelines. He released (#5) multiple records on one of the more important indie labels (Rawkus) and (partly #6) he had numerous collaborations (on several albums) with very notable artists Kool Keith and Godfather Don. His collaborations with Wu-Tang, Brand Nubian & El-P are considered by many to be Hip hop classics. Wikipedia already hosts similarly notable artists e.g. Kurious. Also, there are already lots of pages that mention him. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:1028:83DA:1DE6:AE81:12FF:FECA:E147 (talk) 16:45, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
