 * The draft only tells of the existence of the company. Wikipedia articles must do more, they must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about a company, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable company. 331dot (talk) 11:03, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

Request on 15:16:58, 16 January 2021 for assistance on AfC submission by 73.254.183.116
Hello! I received feedback that my article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:M._Riad_El-Ghonemy is not acceptable. The reasons cited were not helpful, and I am reaching out here to get more specifics. I found the feedback generic and vague, and I am sure there is a lot of subjectivity in this discussion on what is 'significant' coverage and what is a 'reliable source' or 'The article needs independent sources: i.e. sources other than the subject's own works' -- that is where I need some help.

The article refers to multiple publications that are not by the subject, not published by the subject, and are reliable sources themselves. In addition the subject has written multiple published works with proven track records of applicability and which are referenced in the article. I am puzzled why the reviewer left this feedback, and could use some guidance beyond what is in the Talk page entry that I reviewed carefully for more specific examples of where the article references fell short.

Thanks for any guidance on this. Examples of similar individuals' biographical pages, particularly thought leaders who worked at the boundary of Non Governmental Organizations (e.g., UNDP) and academia, to help me see an example or precedent of an 'acceptable to Wikipedia' article.

I do see that the works cited are all by the subject -- if that is the chief issue, I will go look for other sources, however it is challenging some times to find that when the subject itself is a prodigious thinker or prolific author, as we depend on someone **else** writing about the subject, which biases against mavericks and thought leaders who may not have had that kind of coverage in their lifetimes.

 * Your autobiographical draft had zero sources, the number of Facebook and Instagram followers has no bearing on notability likewise mentions in blogs which are not reliable sources. Theroadislong (talk) 21:48, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

No worries, just my way through. I do have an autobiography book, but it's not publicly published.(https://www.amazon.com/Uncovered-Naked-Truth-Life-Addiction/dp/0359802583/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=matt+mathews&qid=1610837203&sr=8-1) Viewers purchase the book to read. Would this book be a reliable source? How would you reference a book that is not a free public source? I would have thought magazine articles would have been. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MattBiomathews (talk • contribs) 22:35, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Your own book about yourself would not be an independent source, so no use whatsoever for establishing any notability, sorry. Theroadislong (talk) 22:56, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

23:36:36, 16 January 2021 review of submission by Safmc
Hello, I have a question regarding article formatting. I am wondering if the article I submitted, Draft:Sophia Jensen, should not contain subtitles rather than containing one large paragraph. Considering that the article is a stub, is it acceptable to not divide it into multiple different sections? Thank you so much for any feeback! Safmc (talk) 23:36, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi . Do not divide it into sections. --Worldbruce (talk) 19:12, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
