02:39:44, 26 November 2017 review of submission by 66.190.13.95
66.190.13.95 (talk) 02:39, 26 November 2017 (UTC) Hi My name is Rosalind Kealiher, I am an acquaintance of Valentina Peguero and really wanted to create a page in her honor. She is a semi well known author in the US and especially in the Dominican Republic. Obviously I am not a good writer and I also don't have a lot of time. Is there someone out there who would be willing to write a wikipedia page about her? How would I go about finding the right person?


 * Hi Rosalind. To request that an article be written, go to Requested articles and follow the directions. --Worldbruce (talk) 06:57, 26 November 2017 (UTC)

05:08:57, 26 November 2017 review of draft by Julia mji
Can anyone please check if my draft is ok. I think this time I have proper text and links

 * That looks like a reasonable start. I would add something to the lead that lets readers (and our reviewer) know why this artist is important. Also the middle paragraph in the Career section has no citations and reviewers may take issue with that as our requirements are fairly stringent for articles about living persons. ~Kvng (talk) 00:36, 29 November 2017 (UTC)

It was mentioned to me that I can ask here for more information about why the page was declined. I know I did not have a lot of content for the page yet, as I am new to this.

For notability, I see you want news sources, but all I really have are gaming sources. The only thing I know of is they were in a printed version of the indie game magazine.

I guess I can just include the links I have?

I am not sure if any of these count.

 * We're looking for WP:RELIABLE sources. I'm not able to definitively determine which of these are reliable and which are not. I suspect you'll have trouble convincing us that an indie game magazine could be a reliable journalistic source. But, I did look at these pages and found most don't eveN mention Bombdog by name. There are only two that could possibly be construed as having the required level of coverage. You don't have a very strong case for meeting our notability guidelines at this point. You can continue to look for better sources but sometimes the coverage just doesn't exist and no amount of work on the draft will cause it to appear. ~Kvng (talk) 00:31, 29 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Thank you for looking at it. The VICE waypoint article does mention Bombdog Studios, but it has a typo as Boomdog instead. Vice, Kotaku, Engadget, are these not the right type of coverage? They all mention M.A.V. the game and Chad Mauldin the creator. Would those have enough coverage to be considered notable? Just trying to fully understand the requirements.


 * WP:SIGCOV describes the level of coverage we're looking for. There is not enough coverage of Bombdog Studios or Chad Mauldin; the coverage is about the game. There is potentially significant coverage of M.A.V. but it is probably WP:TOOSOON for an article about a game that does not and may not ever exist. ~Kvng (talk) 15:38, 1 December 2017 (UTC)
