Belli Creative Studio serves in Turkmenistan. But the Studio has completed some international projects too. You can see their works on its website: belli.studio/work

Some companies will search for Belli Studio, and it will be helpful for them if the information exists on Wikipedia. So, I am asking you to review my submit, add accept it.
 * Wikipedia has no interest in being "helpful" to the company. I rejected your draft because the topic is not notable and for future reference Wikipedia cannot be used as a source. Theroadislong (talk) 13:41, 24 August 2019 (UTC)
 * - the issue is that Wikipedia must have reliable, independent, secondary sources. Wikipedia isn't reliable, so we can't cite ourselves. Your own website is obviously going to be positive about the studio, so isn't suitable either. You need to find reliable 3rd party sources that have talked about your studio. If they don't exist, then this draft can't become an article. Nosebagbear (talk) 13:43, 24 August 2019 (UTC)
 * This looks like an open-and-shut case of WP:NOTADVERTISING/NOTADVOCACY, and so the rejection of the article for failing WP:NOT is well-founded. SamHolt6 (talk) 13:50, 24 August 2019 (UTC)

16:50:31, 24 August 2019 review of draft by Bluelongsnake
Hello. I would like to publish an entry for "Play Fair Code". Play Fair Code is an Austrian organization which has organized training events for 15000+ in several European countries. The target audience is mostly athletes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Bluelongsnake/sandbox

I do know an employee of Play Fair Code (but do not get anything in return for trying to create the article).

Am I mistaken in thinking that Play Fair Code should have a Wikipedia entry? It has IMO supraregional importance.

The data for the initial page is mostly taken from data found on their webpage (but it's not "wrong").

So my question is probably: Is there a chance to create an entry for Play Fair Code? What should I do (to make it happen)?

 * Hi . You are mistaken. It's unlikely that an acceptable draft can be written about them. The bulk of any article should come from arms length sources. It isn't a question of whether the information is true. It's that Wikipedia doesn't much care what an organization says about itself, it's mainly interested in what other people say about it.


 * Proving notability, which is not the same as importance, requires citing independent, reliable sources which contain significant coverage of the organization. Three of the draft's five sources are the organization itself, so not independent. One is a brief quote from the organization in a press release, and the last is a photo caption from a related organization, neither of which constitute significant coverage. You could throw away everything you've done and start over from scratch, but searches of Google News and Google Books found only one paragraph of significant coverage in an independent reliable source, which isn't nearly enough to warrant an encyclopedia article. --Worldbruce (talk) 18:15, 24 August 2019 (UTC)

Why always my article not been accepted??


 * The topic has been rejected as not notable (not suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia). Do not remove AfC reviews and comments. They will be removed when the draft is deleted. --Worldbruce (talk) 17:40, 24 August 2019 (UTC)

I am truly trying to become a wiki writer to get a job writing about the life of others, and im doing these to build my skills im very new but i dont understand why this has been rejected now. if its because i didn't include a picture, it wouldn't let me but a picture is in the source from entrepreneurscentury reference Americanretail (talk) 19:22, 24 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. We don't just accept random articles about people. You have to demonstrate that the person has been covered in-depth by multiple reliable independent sources. That is why the article was rejected. — HELL KNOWZ   ▎TALK 19:33, 24 August 2019 (UTC)

How many sources would you recommend to stop rejections? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Americanretail (talk • contribs) 19:38, 24 August 2019 (UTC)


 * There is no specific number, but at least 3 is a good start. That these will have to be reliable (a reputable publication, such as a news outlet, book, etc.), independent (no connection to the person) and in-depth (about the person and not just brief mentions, directory entries, profiles, etc.). This is all explained with links to relevant guidelines/policies in the first decline reason. — HELL KNOWZ   ▎TALK 20:10, 24 August 2019 (UTC)
