 * Hi Wikipedia may not be used to publicize or promote anything. Its articles cover only topics that have gained significant attention by the world at large and over a period of time. In other words, not a band formed in the last few years, that is releasing their first album this year. See WP:BAND for ways to demonstrate that a band is notable (suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia). Independent, reliable, secondary sources must be cited to demonstrate that the group meets the criteria. --Worldbruce (talk) 15:10, 15 June 2019 (UTC)

{{SAFESUBST:Void|

Hey, checking in on a question I submitted a while ago. Here's the original text:

I wrote a first draft of this article, and it got rejected for not having enough notable sources/linking to the NYVGCC's website as a source. Since then, I've reworked the page to have higher-quality sources. I've also deleted any facts that couldn't be independently verified in a source other than the nonprofit's website.

My question now is: should I do anything else before I resubmit? Am I making other big mistakes that I don't know about?

Thanks so much for any help you can give!

 * Hi {{U|ElizabethPBallou}}. No one replied when you asked the same question on 7 June. This help desk is not a shortcut through the reviewing process. To have the draft evaluated and receive any relevant feedback, resubmit the draft. --Worldbruce (talk) 14:31, 15 June 2019 (UTC)

How can I improve the references for this submission to show proper notability of the company, if we assume the company has the notability? Farhad.klp (talk) 04:09, 15 June 2019 (UTC)

I' jut like to learn how to publish a wiki article. And Russell is a notable figure, there is plenty off proof online but since he is from a small town, nobody is giving him adequate attention. The reference attached should be sufficient, he was the first anglo indian representative of the state which is a huge deal for our community. We are anglo-indian's and I think him having a wiki page would do our community well. Seanjudelyons (talk) 08:43, 15 June 2019 (UTC)

~Hi Russell is a valued member of the anglo Indian community. He was the first anglo Indian member to become a member of the legislative assembly of the state. It would make our community happy if he had a wiki pageSeanjudelyons (talk)
 * ✅ We're shooting ourselves in the foot, backlog-wise, when we twice decline, then reject, an appointed member of a legislative assembly that just needed a better source. --Worldbruce (talk) 13:51, 15 June 2019 (UTC)

I am requesting a re-review as it was rejected, I have now added a couple more references as requested. Oscar135789 (talk) 12:27, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi . A press release and a photo caption from before filming began do nothing to establish notability (suitability for inclusion in Wikipedia). Wait until the film is released, then revisit the subject. --Worldbruce (talk) 12:51, 15 June 2019 (UTC)

The reason why my article was denied was because it doesn't meet notability criteria. I kept the article short and brief so that other content can be added later on, i have mentioned at least 7 or 8 very reliable sources which include Top magazine names as well as tv channels. I do not understand why it would not meet the notability criteria.

Jameschamoun (talk) 14:24, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi . "Mentioning" magazine names and TV channels does nothing to establish notability. The author, title, date, url, and page number (or whatever bibliographic information is applicable to the source) must be cited, see Help:Referencing for beginners for how to do so. Primary source interviews in which he talks about himself without independent analysis by the interviewer do nothing to demonstrate notability. Be aware that in Wikipedia's current business-skeptical climate, there is almost zero chance of a "young entrepreneur", "best known" for incorporating a company this year, being judged notable. --Worldbruce (talk) 14:51, 15 June 2019 (UTC)

Hi There - Requesting a re-review as I updated my coverage so I have all primary sources.

Please let me know if there are other updates needed.

Thank you, Blair

Blairshwach (talk) 15:05, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi . Reread the reviewer's comment. Primary sources are the wrong kind of sources. You want secondary sources, sources like the Chicago Tribune or The Washington Post. Furthermore, only independent sources can establish notability, so not his firm's website and not press releases from his firm. --Worldbruce (talk) 15:30, 15 June 2019 (UTC)

I feel the wiki page was wrongfully denied and I need a more descriptive reason for the rejection. The "so-called" blatant advertisement has also since been removed. Baecien (talk) 21:51, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
