Request on 03:05:55, 13 February 2017 for assistance on AfC submission by Raouf.Ayas
Hello,

I need ti know why I cannot publish my article. Its talking about the biography of my father as a syro lebanese who lived in Egypt. Is there any references I can add to my article? Something is missing?

 * Hello, Raouf. Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia.  A biography of your father will be suitable for Wikipedia only if he had been the subject of in-depth coverage from reliable sources.  This is our "general notability" criterion, which you can read about at WP:GNG.  As for finding such sources, you might try asking the folks who work at our Egypt project.  Their talk page is here.  I hope this response has been helpful.  NewYorkActuary (talk) 15:55, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

There are dead links and one of them needs to be fixed now so that this article can be crated. 2600:8803:7A00:19:8554:3F1:8AE4:6DAA (talk) 15:22, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

 * The season only starts in August, there is simply nowhere near enough content to create this article now. The date is literally the only substantive fact that is known about it now. Put it on ice until some more definite information is published later in the year. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 16:47, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

I am confused. I thought I was supposed to create a sandbox of my user page and then submit it, but when I do the game that introduces one to Wikipedia, it asks me to create the page in the real space (i.e., not the sandbox). My submission has now been rejected for notability, but I am not submitting an article about myself. Rather, I am trying to create a user page modeled after some of your model user pages. Thanks for your guidance. PoorRicardo (talk) 16:39, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

My draft article "Kinetic Energy Metamorphosis" has been reviewed by a chemist. It is not about chemistry, it is about a tribological phenomenon, please have it reviewed by a tribologist, or at the very least by a geomorphologist. Prof. Robert G. Bednarik
