Every time I try to make a page it gets deleted and I always ask for help but no one will help me

Can someone PMEASSE HELP ME CREATE A PAGE? I'm a huge fan of kris degioia. All her references are 💯 Verifyable! Please help Chrisnadeau1973 (talk) 05:58, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi, you need to write more than just one sentence for it to be an acceptable article - "This person exists and does stuff" is simply not enough. Verifiability is important, but it is far from the only requirement an article must comply with, see the Your first article guide for the basics. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 13:01, 23 May 2017 (UTC)

Hamilton (musical) has had a profound impact on our understanding of history. It has also sparked discussions about race relations, immigration, and music.

I want to offer an analysis of each of the songs from the musical on the page. I believe that each song conveys important historical information, and each one has been discussed in the news and by critics of the musical. I would be interested in learning more about which songs I can write pages for. I attempted to write one for "What'd I Miss," but it wasn't approved.

Thanks!

 * Your references do not prove notability. You must include independent, third-party reliable sources to prove notability.  JTP {{sup|(talk • contribs)}} 14:28, 23 May 2017 (UTC)

I noticed that my very own, impartial and competent contribution is not published! Why?

The article from my point of view is not based on any original research or opinions, all the statements are backed by published research papers. I do not understand what is the problem. Thanks for your help.

Cwacox (talk) 18:05, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Hello, Cwacox. Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia.  I assume your are asking about Draft:Clarence Acox.  But an article on this person already exists at Clarence Acox, Jr..  If you wish to edit that already-existing article, there is no need to submit anything here at Articles for Creation.  Instead, feel free to open up a discussion on the article's talk page.  I hope this response has been helpful.  NewYorkActuary (talk) 19:25, 23 May 2017 (UTC)

Please verify that this article has been received by you for re-review. I can't figure it out; it looks like it has and is pending review, but I'm not sure.

I can't tell if I have successfully submitted the draft for re-review. Can you please confirm that you have received it (or not)? Thank you. Rkleegemtsinai (talk) 19:36, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Hello, Rkleege. Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia.  Yes, your submission has been received (you can see the evidence of that in the "pending review" box at the bottom of your draft).  But right now, there are about 500 submissions in the queue ahead of yours, so I expect that it will be at least two weeks before someone will take a look at it.  On a different note, your user name suggests that you might be associated with the subject of your draft.  If you have not already done so, I encourage you to read through our conflict-of-interest guidelines.  I hope this response has been helpful.  NewYorkActuary (talk) 20:13, 23 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi!

I'm having trouble with creating an article. I'd like to know more about what is consider notability.

My article References includes news from various sources around the globe. Also includes articles of reliable sources on the medical field (the person which the article is about is a plastic surgeon) that should prove the notabilty of this person.

I am worried because it seems that the article reviews are taking a while (nearing a month to be exact) and I'd like to make everything right this time so it won't end up declined again.

Thanks a lot!

 * Hello, Lanna. Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia.  Before posting here, I took a look at your submission and can see why it was twice declined for failing to establish "notability".  In the case of a medical professional such as the one you are writing about, you will need to demonstrate that at least one of the criteria set forth at WP:NACADEMIC has been satisfied.  And, you need to do so by making reference to reliable sources that are independent of the subject.  I don't think you've succeeded in doing that, but there is still time to work on it some more.  I hope this response has been helpful.  NewYorkActuary (talk) 20:27, 23 May 2017 (UTC)

NewYorkActuary (talk)

Thanks a lot! I will check that out.

(Also, I don't know if this is the right way to reply. Sorry in advance!) LannaM (talk) 13:40, 24 May 2017 (UTC) comment added by LannaM (talk • contribs) 21:10, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. And, yes, that was the right way to reply.  But don't forget to sign your postings by adding four tildes " ~ " after your message.  There's even a button at the bottom of the edit window that will do it automatically (it's the one titled "Sign your posts on talk page").  Good luck with the draft.  NewYorkActuary (talk) 21:31, 23 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Oh I see it now! I also added a few more sources. I'll try to find a few more to cover those criteria.
 * Thanks for the help! LannaM (talk) 13:51, 24 May 2017 (UTC)

Not sure where to go to ask this question....looked all over wikimedia and nothing seemed to apply. The topics seemed to be for general policy user discussions, not for a specific photo submission, which is my situation. On May 9, 2017 the Miami Herald, through its legal representative, David Blasco, registered as a user and then emailed to permissions commons their full copyright release (per Wiki's guidelines) of a photo of Larry Thompson (humorist) and Penny Thompson. The Herald is the copyright holder of these photos. David emailed me that he received an auto response saying thanks, it will take some time. It's only been two weeks, but wondering how can I followup to see if all received ok, any issues, and when might the photos go online? Thanks for your patience! Fleejoseph (talk) 23:15, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Hello, Flee. Thank you for your contribution to Wikipedia.  We here at Articles for Creation are definitely not the people you need to be speaking with.  I gather that the "permissions" you mention relate to the OTRS system, so I suggest contacting either OTRS/Noticeboard or WP:OTRSN.  I hope this response is helpful.
