Request on 06:05:04, 2 April 2016 for assistance on AfC submission by Worldgirl77
Hello,

I recently submitted an article and a reviewer called onel5969 have rejected it stating the reference are not notable. Ishtar TV is a well known TV network and on satellite in the Middle East and every where on Nilesat. in fact you have a page on wiki for them yourself https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ishtar_TV. And here is their website http://www.ishtartv.com/en/ All the other news websites are also notable. I see your argument was unreasonable I need further explanation...

Thanks

I created a page for my good friend and it was declined and i am unsure why. He is a very notable College athlete who has gained national media attention as an individual, not just as a player for a notable team. Aweb17 (talk) 13:57, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

My proposed "WJSV broadcast day" article was rejected by Joseph2302, and I posted (politely) on his talkpage the reasons why I believed it would be a good addition for Wikipedia. So far I have not gotten a reply, so I guess I am coming here. Here was my reasoning why the article was notable and useful. Thank you.

Re: Rejection of the WJSV broadcast day article (submitted March 24, 2016.)

I was surprised by your rejection of my article on the 1939 "WJSV broadcast day," especially where you stated that there was, "No evidence that this day of broadcasting was notable enough."

As stated in the "Legacy" section of my article, the "WJSV broadcast day" recordings were considered notable enough to be one of the first selections added to the United States National Recording Registry for preservation by the Library of Congress. As the opening sentence of the Wikipedia article about this Registry notes, the National Recording Registry was set up to include sound recordings that 'are culturally, historically, or aesthetically important, and/or inform or reflect life in the United States.' " The WJSV recordings were added to the Registry's 2003 list, and if you look at the list for 2003 found in the Wikipedia article you will see that the WJSV broadcast day is one of the very few entries for 2003 that does not already have an article written about it. In addition, there are already several other articles on Wikipedia that mention in passing the significance of these recordings. It seemed certain that an article on the subject was due, if not overdue.

You also stated, "Wikipedia is not a radio guide."

This article is far more than just a "radio guide." The reason that the recording of this day has proven significant enough to be selected for preservation by the Library of Congress is that the process and the result brought about by the recording produced a rare and valuable documentation of a unique time and place in radio history. Many Internet websites break out this broadcast day program by program (and I have corrected their errors in my article) because this also provides an important insight on the operations, the personalities and the shows of that day (many of which have Wikipedia articles about them.) I feel these facts show that the WJSV broadcast day article would be a very useful and significant addition, and that it easily meets Wikipedia standards.

Hi

This page was rejected - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Ben_Clappison

Please can someone tell me why? I am massively confused as the person is a professional footballer with Hull City, an English Championship club who play in the second highest league in English football!
