Mikhail Lebedev
We urgently need a Wikipedia article on the famous neuorscientist, Mikhail Lebedev. Can you please finish the article on Mikhail Lebedev this weekend? It needs to be nominated as a good or featured article within 30 days. I Already started. Please see Draft:Mikhail Lebedev (neuroscientist). — Preceding unsigned comment added by LotteryGeek (talk • contribs) 01:04, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Why are you posting this or similar notices on dozens of user talk pages and other locations? -- Kinu t/c 01:51, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I am new. I need to see how I can get this article approved and featured. This guy studies human robots and living forever. It is like a sci-fi movie. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LotteryGeek (talk • contribs) 02:01, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
 * The first step would be to create a properly-sourced draft that indicates how the subject meets notability criteria, such as WP:GNG, WP:BIO, WP:ACADEMIC, etc. A single paragraph that is ostensibly WP:REFBOMBed is not a proper encyclopedia article. -- Kinu t/c 02:05, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Can you write this first article for me and I will learn from it? I am new and have never done this before. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LotteryGeek (talk • contribs) 02:09, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
 * No, because I do not believe the subject is notable enough for a Wikipedia article. If you think otherwise, then be bold and feel free to ask for assistance. However, posting the same message on multiple editors' talk pages, asking them to do your work for you with an apparent demand that such an article "needs to be nominated as a good or featured article" by a certain deadline, is considered poor form. -- Kinu t/c 02:17, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

Michael Weirsky
I wrote an article about a highly notable man, in fact one of the most notable men in New Jersey and approval is being delayed. Please expedite approval. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Michael_Weirsky
 * Given the thread you started above and this one, I suggest you read WP:NOTABILITY before creating more drafts. -- Kinu <i style="color: red">t</i>/<i style="color:red">c</i> 02:18, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

Stop the Steal
I decided to start writing about topics that do not involve people. Can someone send me some guidelines to make https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Stop_the_steal better? I apologize if my drafts are not very good. This is my first day being an article writer. In a month or two, I will have some good articles and in six months, I should have a featured article if I work hard to improve. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LotteryGeek (talk • contribs) 02:56, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

 * hm... Apart from YOuTube and Facebook I see one other source in an arabian language that I can't read. I am afraid that this draft currently fails WP:NPERSON let alone WP:BLP. Victor Schmidt (talk) 07:54, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Hi IP User . You haven't asked a question so i don't know specifically what you would like help with but I did notice that your draft doesn't have any citations so it will be rejected at least until that is resolved. --Paul &#10092;talk&#10093; 14:40, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

Why my article was rejected? - Akpalok2006 (talk) 13:59, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi . Wikipedia only accepts biographies of people shown to be notable, you can read the notability criteria for here. Also even if the subject was notable, your draft did not cite any sources at all - so it would also have been rejected for that reason. --Paul &#10092;talk&#10093; 14:35, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

15:02:57, 23 January 2021 review of submission by Betahatdelta
My draft was rejected by a wikipedia editor and the reason given to me was that the subject is not notable and there aren't enough citations. I am working to research and find more citations but I was wondering how this article on a similar and contemporary poet here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nirendranath_Chakravarty got accepted but my article on Krishna Dhar did not. Thanks. Betahatdelta (talk) 15:02, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
 * To avoid duplication of effort, please only use one method of seeking assistance. I have not yet looked at your draft, but please see other stuff exists. 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; as such other similar content existing does not mean your content can exist too. It could be that this other article is inappropriate as well. 331dot (talk) 15:21, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
