I'm Trying To Make An Article Of Dark Deception And It Keeps Getting Declined

Request on 10:27:56, 12 February 2022 for assistance on AfC submission by Lightbluerain
I think the submission at least merits a stub article?

 * To pass this process, you need to have at least three independent reliable sources with significant coverage to summarize. You do not need to submit a fully finished article, but you need the sources. The sources you have offered do not have significant coverage- they seem to just be announcements of this man's activities. If you want to create a stub with the hope that others will expand it, you may do that yourself, but there is no guarantee that such a stub will be allowed to remain as a stub, and would probably be moved back to draft space. 331dot (talk) 10:39, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

i tried to submit this article for some time, however, all i get was the article "lack of neutral point of view", or "they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject.", i am quite confused right now, since i see the same type of articles like "huobi","binance",or "uniswap" are up and running.

this is the article link. Draft:MDEX thank you so much.
 * Please read other stuff exists. These other articles you have seen could also be inappropriate.  As this is a volunteer project where people do what they can when they can, it is possible for inappropriate articles to get by us. We can only address what we know about. That these other articles exists does not automatically mean that yours can too, otherwise nothing could ever be removed from Wikipedia.  If you want to use other articles as a model, make sure that they are classified as good articles.
 * Regarding your draft, as noted, the sources seem to be inappropriate as they are largely announcements of routine business activities, which does not establish notability. Please read the policies linked to in the messages you were given on the draft, as well as Your First Article.
 * If you are associated with this company, please read WP:COI and WP:PAID for information on required formal disclosures. You have also chosen to edit in a contentious area(cryptocurrencies) which has its own special rules, I will post information about this on your user talk page. 331dot (talk) 11:20, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

I would like some examples of which references in my article's bibliography, citations, or outside links are not acceptable, and what kinds of sources you would consider acceptable. I have used print books and referred to pages in them, and have used many Wikipedia links to your other articles. I will continue to edit this article and add obituaries and photos. Are obituaries considered reliable sources? Thank you.

19:21:52, 12 February 2022 review of submission by BrickBelltower
On 2/10 I asked you for help because I could not complete my draft AfC -- I was "copying and pasting" my personal article copy, section by section, into the Wiki AfC template. Then, I got to a certain point - specifically the listing for "Greenbaum" (which you can see as the last line entered in my AfC on the "Women's Project of New Jersey" Wiki article) and the AfC template would no longer accept my section "paste". I tried again and again. I went in and came out of the website. I simply was no longer able to paste in any more language into my draft AfC article. I found that I WAS able to TYPE in new language. But I could no longer "copy and paste" any additional language into the article. I don't want to have to "re-type" all the rest of the article. I want to be able to copy and paste the remaining language into the article. Can you help me? Caroline Jacobus, alias BrickBelltower BrickBelltower (talk) 19:21, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Try editing it regularly. And I hope, for your sake, that sources are amongst the things you're going to be copy-pasting from your offline copy, otherwise all the copy-pasting will have been a wasted exercise. —A little blue Bori  v^_^v  Jéské Couriano 19:41, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
 * And seeing you do have sources already in the article but formatted as plaintext, I'll point you to Help:Referencing for beginners,, , and . —A little blue Bori  v^_^v  Jéské Couriano 20:05, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

21:05:45, 12 February 2022 review of submission by Congha2540
I am puzzled why this article was declined. This is a well-known artist who already appears on Wikipedia on the list of winners of International Photographer of the Year. Other winners have Wikipedia pages, so it seems strange she would be denied one. She was just the subject of a major Washington Post magazine article. I added a reference to a Boston Globe article. There are other sources listed as well, as as the World Gold Council video (an unusual honor) and Shonda Rimes’s Shondaland website. I respectively request another review.

 * It is stuffed with non neutral tone puffery and the only claim to passing WP:NARTIST is "Chatmon's work has been purchased by the Minneapolis Institute of Art" and that is unsourced. Theroadislong (talk) 21:13, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

Good afternoon, I believe that this article was done in error. I am making an article for music artist MOB Carry and we talked about this article being made. I would wish to have this article up and running to be posted on the main page of Wikipedia as this was done in error. Thank you for the inconvenience
 * The draft has been rejected it will not be considered further. Theroadislong (talk) 21:57, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
 * I too believe the error is in the Draft, since it is not sourced, nor does it demonstrate how they meet WP:NMUSIC or WP:GNG. If none of these criteria are met then they will not have an article on the English Wikipedia. Please ready through WP:YFA for more information.

 * We're not going to accept unsourced articles about living persons, as Wikipedia is Not interested in a rerun of the Seigenthaler incident. Victor Schmidt (talk) 22:03, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

22:22:41, 12 February 2022 review of submission by Grnhrnt35
Thank you for creating a place to help new editors. My first article was moved out of the mains place, with a request to do a better job of citing my references. I complied and resubmitted, and it was rejected for plagiarism. All of the words were my own, and all of the references were cited. Even the topic is my own. I have written the editor on his or her talk page and responded on my talk page, and have no response. I am afraid to resubmit it without understanding why he or she thought that it was copied, or if I have misunderstood the reason for the rejection. The Draft is called “The Scottish Feudal Barony of MacDuff”, and is part of the series on Imperial, royal, noble, gentry and chivalric ranks in Europe. Thanks!

 * this copyvios report shows that 90% of the article was copy/pasted from another source. >>> Wgullyn . talk ; 22:32, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

 * Content appears to have been copied and pasted from here https://www.baronyofmacduff.org/history Theroadislong (talk) 22:25, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for the quick response. It is as described on my talk page. The language that was used on that website, in some cases, was verbatim from my wiki article. That website was created AFTER the Wikipedia article I created and at one time linked to it when the article was in the main space. After my article got moved back to drafts, the link went dead, and the sites owner removed the link. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Grnhrnt35 (talk • contribs) 22:33, 12 February 2022 (UTC)


 * oh, that makes sense. I'm not totally sure what to do about this situation, but I've removed the speedy deletion tag from the draft for now. >>> Wgullyn . talk ; 22:38, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

Please look at the edit history of the draft for evidence that it was not cut and pasted. Also, I understand why editors would think that, abd have noted it on the talk page, as I read that was why an editor is supposed to do in such an instance. Is there more to that should be done? (Grnhrnt35 (talk) 22:37, 12 February 2022 (UTC))


 * if you resubmit the article, I'll accept it. >>> Wgullyn . talk ; 23:33, 12 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Thank you, very much for your help (Grnhrnt35 (talk) 23:40, 12 February 2022 (UTC))
