02:26:21, 20 November 2017 review of submission by Rachelharrisla
Hello, I would like to ask for a re-reviewal of my article draft, on New York-based post-conceptual artist, Skye Nicolas. A previous review was declined on 19 August 2017 (by Wikipedia editor Chris troutman), as the "submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability."

The current article draft focuses on the artist's 'Fukushima Nuclear Disaster tribute artwork', which made front page news in the March 31, 2011 issue of the Philippine Daily Inquirer.

The Philippine Daily Inquirer is the nation's largest and premier newspaper, comparable to the New York Times in Southeast Asia. Wouldn't being on the front page of a major newspaper suffice as a substantial source to validate subject's notability? Other independent sources have been referenced, including a recent interview with Art Week magazine, an extension of the fine art world's leading publication source, Art Forum.

A re-review, as well as comments on editing the article for final approval would be very much appreciated.

Thank you.

Hello, I want to know why my article is not approved https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Mumbai_Challengers can you please tell me the reasons so that I will change accordingly
 * Hello, Sajni. Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia.  Our apologies for the delay in response.  The best source of information as to why your submission was declined will be the reviewer who looked at it.  You can find that person's name and Talk page link in the "decline boxes" near the top of your submission.  But before posting here, I took a quick look at your submission and found that I too would have declined it, for at least two reasons.  First, very much of your material is unsourced.  And second, much of it is not written in the neutral, formal tone that is expected on an encyclopedia.  Indeed, some of it seemed like it was written for the sports pages of a newspaper.  This type of writing has no place on Wikipedia.  Finally, I didn't investigate the quality of your sourcing, so I'm offering no opinion as to whether this two-year old team has achieved encyclopedic notability.  I encourage you to engage in discussion with the reviewer and to take into consideration the concerns that I've stated here.  I hope this response has been helpful.

 * Hello, . Your submission, Draft:Port Connectivity Road, Visakhapatnam contained no references. Wikipedia requires all articles to have secondary, reliable sources.  JTP (talk • contribs) 14:57, 20 November 2017 (UTC)

Hi there,

I submitted an article and it was declined because it did not have enough references. I updated the references list, added more citations of the proposed article and resubmitted it, but its been about 2 weeks now and there hasn't been someone who reviewed it. It just needs another quick scan then I can get it up. Anyone help?

19:34:18, 20 November 2017 review of submission by Cffg9979
Hello,

I recently submitted an article about a company, which was rejected because "it appears to read more like and advertisement than a Wikipedia entry." I'm wondering whether this needs a few tweaks or is not even close to approval, and whether any more detail can be provided about the issue. Is it the sources, is the content, is it that subject matter is undeserving of a page?

Thanks for your assistance. Cffg9979 (talk) 19:34, 20 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Hello, Cffg. Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia.  Our apologies for the delay in response.  The best source of information as to why your submission was declined will be the reviewer who looked at it.  You can find that person's name and Talk page link in the "decline box" near the top of your submission.  But I took a look at your submission before posting here and found that, out of the various possibilities suggested in your question, "undeserving of a page" looks to be the best assessment.  Two of the seven references are for the company's founder, and not the company itself (I'm speaking of the award nomination and the article written by the founder).  Three others are either passing mentions or appearances on a list.  Another is just a routine announcement.  And the last (actually, the first in your submission) is a press-release type of write-up that was published five years ago.  In all, I don't see in-depth discussion of the company by reliable independent sources, and I certainly don't see that kind of coverage being given on anything approaching a sustained level.  I recognize that this is a negative assessment, but it does reflect my opinion as to whether this company is sufficiently "notable" in the sense that Wikipedia uses the word.  If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.  NewYorkActuary (talk) 01:04, 22 November 2017 (UTC)

I'm writing the draft for Republic (crowdfunding platform) under COI. My most recent rejection was due to lack of neutrality in the draft. I rephrased and reordered several things, and added costs to fundraise on the platform, controversies surrounding the Crowd Safe and SAFE investment vehicle (which I think should also be added to the Simple agreement for future equity (SAFE) article). Still, I'm not sure yet about whether the neutrality in the article can be further improved, and if yes, how, hence I'm asking for re-reviewing.


 * The way to get the draft reviewed again is to click the blue "Submit" button on the draft, within the pink box from the most recent review. --Worldbruce (talk) 01:10, 21 November 2017 (UTC)

Request on 21:01:06, 20 November 2017 for assistance on AfC submission by Crystalhartwell
Hello, my article keeps getting declined, first because the reviewer said it was too promotional. I edited the article, then another reviewer stated that there might be a notoriety issue, and that I should include more references. Is there a way for me to send my article to someone to review to get more feedback about specific edits that can be made so that the article will be accepted, before I submit the article using sandbox? The article is about an automotive company that is often cited in automotive trade outlets, including Automotive News which is a well respected publication.

Thanks in advance for your assistance. Crystalhartwell (talk) 21:01, 20 November 2017 (UTC) Crystalhartwell (talk) 21:01, 20 November 2017 (UTC)


 * There is no mechanism for getting feedback before submitting a draft. If by "often cited" in Automotive News you mean:


 * "CEO Mark Maida of AutoBuy, a Florida company that buys used vehicles from consumers and resells them to dealers nationwide, said used-vehicle demand didn't pick up much until October, but now it is strong. He expects AutoBuy's shipments to dealers in Texas and Florida to peak in late October. "Pickups and SUVs are the hottest segments," Maida said."


 * and the like, such material does nothing to establish notability. It isn't independent, it's the CEO talking about the company. Based on my own searches, the company does not appear to be a suitable topic for a Wikipedia article. Wikipedia is not for promotion, marketing, or public relations. --Worldbruce (talk) 01:04, 21 November 2017 (UTC)
