03:23:41, 7 December 2019 review of submission by LonB
User:Theroadislong kindly reviewed my draft for a new article about a new company here in NYC. I would appreciate a bit more specific feedback about which aspect of this article seems to not be neutral. I spent a lot of time trying to research reliable news sources. This company has ads all over the New York City subway and bus system and I felt this was well worth inclusion in Wikipedia, especially since I was able to find so many articles about them. I'm happy to do the leg work and to try to adjust tone or to do more research, if you wouldn't mind helping me understand which areas to clean up. Thanks! --LonB (talk) 03:23, 7 December 2019 (UTC)

I want to see this article as an encyclopedia article with it's original content.Please help me rectify this article before it is deleted, post me some tips into my Mac. 37.41.145.246 (talk) 07:27, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Well what you need here are some sources. Wikipedia articles are built on sources, such as book reviews. If you can look up and find at least 3 book reviews, we can go from there.You may wish to read the Wikipedia article for Diamonds Are Forever (novel) or The Fountainhead to get an idea of how an article about a book should be written. The article as is needs to be entirely rewritten and structured like a typical Wikipedia article. You cannot just have a plot summary. You need at least a reception section, discussing reviews of the book. If you cannot find reviews, then the book is not notable, i.e. we cannot give it an article.

May i know why my article was rejected, the reason behind that and what are the sufficient notabilities for an article to include in wikipedia


 * The rejection links to the page that explains what is expected. You would need proper sources, like described at WP:GNG: "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". — HELL KNOWZ   ▎TALK 11:47, 7 December 2019 (UTC)

I hope you have done much better than this guy but I think a person who has dedicated his life for well-being of underprivileged and marginalized communities and who daily faces threats for being an advocate of religious minorities at least deserved to be highlighted on wikipedia. I wish we could be able to honour such person in his life, not after his death.
 * Wikipedia has precise guidelines for miniumum article criteria, which are outlined in notability. We are an encyclopedia and this means having quality sources for all the content. There is the bare minimum of sources required for a stand-alone article and the vast majority of people do not reach this threshold, many whom happen to be distinguished persons by outside measures. But Wikipedia does not base articles on any such (subjective) criteria like someone's fame, importance or the need to honor them. This simply is not the purpose and goal of Wikipedia and we cannot accept articles unless they are sourced by at least multiple independent reliable in-depth sources. — HELL KNOWZ   ▎TALK 16:40, 7 December 2019 (UTC)


 * I have been using wikipedia for last 15 years and I know very well how distinguished profiles are added in this website. I don't wish to criticize many existing profiles but it is a separate matter. It is a bit weird for me that an activist whose nobility and notability has been globally accepted through a noble prize, does not qualify for wikipedia. If noble laureates are even not worthy to be highlighted on wikipedia then who else can achieve some space here. Anyways, you may please delete this draft. I have no complaints.

Hello I want to know with more details why my submission was denied. Thank You.

 * Hi . Draft:Fabian Alexander Ortega was declined because Wikipedia doesn't publish biographies of all authors, only those who are notable. The draft supplies no evidence that he is notable (suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia). --Worldbruce (talk) 19:48, 7 December 2019 (UTC)

 * This seems to be an average person, like you or I. We don't cover everyone, only those who have recieved notable coverage in reliable sources, i.e. the media. Captain Eek  Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 02:26, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

I think that since James channel dead meat has more than 3 million subscribers i think that this article should be allowed on wikipedia Olle0031 (talk) 20:18, 7 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Hi . That rationale does not follow consensus. See the essay WikiProject YouTube/Notability and more importantly the guideline Notability (people). --Worldbruce (talk) 00:00, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
