02:39:53, 19 June 2020 review of draft by Klamb70
Hello, I greatly appreciate the speed in which my article was reviewed; I was worried it would take weeks. I understand the policy for articles featuring political candidates not being appropriate for Wikipedia as that would clog the site immensely. However, I strongly disagree that the subject lacks notability. The subject is the first openly non-binary person to run for US Senate against incumbent Susan Collins. This is a race that has been highly publicized, watched internationally, and is funneling more money than any Maine campaign has ever seen. Bre's victory in the primary will thrust them into the global spotlight and will automatically grant their campaign millions of dollars raised by donors who were angered by the appointment of Justice Kavanaugh. Just using the term "non-binary," "queer," and the pronouns "they/them" have become widespread - albeit painfully - in the media publications surrounding their campaign. Susan Collins' campaign has taken notice and hopes to use Mx. Kidman as a spoiler, yet this is a race with an unpopular Democratic challenger and an election using Ranked-Choice Voting, another historic event in American democracy. Please refer to the page of Mike Broihier, another US Senate candidate in another highly publicized senate race in Kentucky. Mr. Brohier, like Mx. Kidman, has never served elected office; his history is in the Marines, followed by owning a farm and working as a substitute teacher. He is running for a party nomination, just like Bre Kidman. Given that his page is live and Bre's was declined almost instantly, I kindly request feedback as to how I can make Bre's page meet the same standards as Mike Broihier, otherwise I request that either my page about senate nomination candidate Bre Kidman be made live, or that senate nomination candidate Mike Broihier's page be taken down for the grounds that are keeping my page from being published. While Mike has clearly served his country and family well, Bre has worked in Washington, DC, formed policy, and is the first trans/non-binary US Senate candidate ever. I kindly request your reconsideration in this matter. Thank you!

 * Your draft has been rejected, meaning it will not be considered further. I suggest you read Your First Article and use the new user tutorial before attempting to write another article; you may also want to spend time editing existing articles in areas that interest you first, to get a feel for how Wikipedia operates and what is expected of article content. 331dot (talk) 10:58, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

Avionic Support Group Inc is a well established, well connected company in the aviation industry in the US. We are looking at expanding our international footprint, which is the main reason behind this entry, as we seek to show other markets other than China and the US that we are a reputable, real company.

Please advise how we can best improve the page. 2A00:23C6:4080:6101:DD2:A3A1:AB52:5DE8 (talk) 11:13, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Your draft has been rejected, meaning it will not be considered further. Wikipedia has no interest in helping your company "expand its footprint", solicit customers, or tell the world about itself.  You are free to do that on your own website or social media.  Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and as an encyclopedia is only interested in summarizing what independent reliable sources with significant coverage say about your company, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable company.  331dot (talk) 11:19, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
 * You should also review conflict of interest and paid editing for information on formal disclosures you are required to make. 331dot (talk) 11:20, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

12:34:16, 19 June 2020 review of submission by Seongyunhong12345
I am unsure why the article was rejected from publishing. I based the format off the articles of the competitor companies in the same industry and theirs was fully accepted but ours wasn't (example: Betterhelp). I'd love to know what I should be changing for my article to be accepted.

 * Hi . Please clarify what you mean by "our". The policy on Wikipedia is "one user—one account". Usernames should not be shared by multiple individuals. --Worldbruce (talk) 12:50, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
 * If you work for this company, you must read and formally comply with the paid editing policy; you should also review conflict of interest. Your draft merely tells about the company and only has one source.  Wikipedia articles must do more, they must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about your company(not press releases, routine announcements, etc.) showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable company.  Wikipedia is not interested in what a company wants to say about itself, only in what others completely unconnected to the company have chosen to say about it.
 * Please note that as this is a volunteer project where people do what they can, when they can, it is possible for inappropriate articles to go undetected, even for years. We can only address what we know about.  It is possible these other articles you mention are also inappropriate.  Please see other stuff exists. 331dot (talk) 13:24, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

I wasn't finished editing the information on the page (I can understand why it was rejected due to lack of content etc but I thought I could go back and edit it before it was put up for publication) and I would ask for it to be reconsidered for publishing please. I have more content and references to link into the page.

Kind Regards

 * There is nothing to prevent your continuing to edit this draft. However, unless the young gentleman is exceptional and meets all the criteria in WP:BLP it is unlikely to be worthwhile. I note that your surname and the young gentleman's are the same, along with your username, usually more than coincidence. the WP:AFC process allows for such things, but not once an article has been accepted and moved to the main article namespace. Reading WP:COI against that eventuality will be useful for you.
 * For a living person we have a high standard of referencing. Every substantive fact you assert, especially one that is susceptible to potential challenge, requires a citation with a reference that is about them, and is independent of them, and is in WP:RS, and is significant coverage. Please also see WP:PRIMARY which details the limited permitted usage of primary sources and WP:SELFPUB which has clear limitations on self published sources. Providing sufficient references, ideally one per fact cited, that meet these tough criteria is likely to make this draft a clear acceptance (0.9 probability). Lack of them or an inability to find them is likely to mean that the person is not suitable for inclusion, certainly today. Fiddle   Faddle  15:00, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi, Thank you for the opportunity to make contact this way. Please notice this is my first article, and as you can see my draft has been declined. I have tried to make my article by reading the Wikipedia instructions and as well as by observing similar Wikipedia pages as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDFTron_Systems, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPedal, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_PDF_Library It would be great if you can provide more specific information about what would be needed (what is missing) to improve my page.

Thank you very much!

 * Your draft just tells about the subject. Wikipedia articles must do more, they must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage say about the topic, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of notability.  "Significant coverage" is that which goes beyond brief mentions, routine announcements or technical descriptions, or primary sources.  Please read Your First Article for more information.
 * Be aware that it is possible that the other articles you went by are also problematic; as this is a volunteer project where people do what they can when they can, it is possible for inappropriate articles to go undetected and unaddressed, even for years. See WP:OSE. 331dot (talk) 16:17, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

I have made in text citations and they are automatically supposed to show up at the bottom, but I do not see them. Does that mean I need to manually input them in or will they show up eventually?

Surface2016 (talk) 16:32, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
 * because you diddn't fomat them as inline citations. To format something like a inline citation, surround the citation like &lt;ref>Citation...&lt;/ref>. Victor Schmidt (talk) 17:39, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

17:58:09, 19 June 2020 review of submission by Larry Royal (talk) 17:58, 19 June 2020 (UTC) Kindly review the page as its never meant for promotional purpose but to boost his online presence and be known world wide and it contains his social media handle like instagram and all others
 * To "boost his online presence" is what promotional means. Your draft was deleted for unambiguous advertising.  JTP (talk • contribs) 18:12, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Your draft currently has exactly one non-reliable non-independent source in your draft.
 * It reads more like an advertisement. Wikipedia doesn't want to promote anything, even if it's a good cause.
 * After checking, I found out that the submission was copied&pasted from elsewhere. Do not copy and paste stuff from elsewhere. Victor Schmidt (talk) 15:11, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I am still waiting on feedback for why my article was abruptly denied by "daniel arndt." He appears to be an editor not new to starting arguments with others. My subject meets the notability guidelines for breaking a barrier in LGBTQ history and for receiving national news coverage for their campaign and its controversial marketing. Please publish this article. If not, I advise you to review the pages of Mike Bouihier and Rosa Scarcelli, both candidates for office with less "notability" than Bre Kidman.

Klamb70 (talk) 20:01, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi Klamb70, your draft has two problems in my opinion: First of all there are some grammar mistakes (Plural vs Singular in the lead), secondly most of your references are not reliable (with exception to the Washington Times). But you can ask Dan arndt also directly - for example on his talk page - why he thinks that it is not suitable for WK. CommanderWaterford (talk) 08:52, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
 * , my assessment of your draft is completely objective. As I stated in that assessment the subject of the article fails the requirements of WP:NPOLITICIAN. It also, as indicated above by, fails WP:ANYBIO - in that it needs to be demonstrated that there is significant coverage in multiple independent reliable secondary sources and that almost all the references that you have cited are not considered reliable. Finally the argument just because another similar article exists does not mean that this draft should be supported. Dan arndt (talk) 07:34, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello

A friend has asked me to make a Wikipedia page for his Dad as he had a successful career in the 80's from playing darts (reached international standard and beat the world number 2 on his debut) so has a good history. But the article has been refused. Granted, I don't have any idea what I am doing! What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
