04:51:36, 10 June 2022 review of draft by NeverTry4Me
I want to know whether this kind of AfC draft is allowed for submission or not? Though I have to expand the draft more. If such AfC is not allowed then I shall stop working on such draft. - Signed by NeverTry4Me Talk 04:51, 10 June 2022 (UTC)


 * @NeverTry4Me: members of legislative assemblies are presumed to be notable per WP:NPOL, if that's what you're asking. Obviously the article still needs to be appropriately referenced and otherwise compliant with the various guidelines. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 05:03, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
 * @DoubleGrazing and this draft:Madan_Kalita? - Signed by NeverTry4Me Talk 05:19, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
 * the Draft I have submitted along with Draft:Madan_Kalita as both passes WP:NPOL. Kindly assist me if I'm missing something in these drafts. - Signed by NeverTry4Me Talk 09:31, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
 * AfC drafts are reviewed in due time. You can work on the drafts in the meantime. Please stop asking for preferential treatment. --bonadea contributions talk 10:09, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
 * @Bonadea I was just curious whether such Drafts are eligible for AfC submission or not. If not, I shall delete them. - Signed by NeverTry4Me Talk 10:47, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Seconding @Bonadea here. NT4M, you've been advised to stop jumping the queue. Your drafts are of no more importance than any other editor's. There is no deadline and reviewers will come along whenever they do. cc: @Deepfriedokra Star   Mississippi  15:02, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
 * . Jeez. What's the rush? Please wait your turn. And no,  I don't think you are ready to end the AFC only restriction. Please feel free to appeal that at WP:AN six months after you were unblocked on Sept. 7, as I've gone inactive .  -- Deep fried okra  ( talk ) 15:40, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
 * @Deepfriedokra my apology. To be honest, I forgot to change the help title, and asked "whether this kind of AfC draft is allowed for submission or not. Due to my negligence the topic continued even after the drafts were submitted. @Star Mississippi I tender my apology with good faith. Further, I assure, I won't land into this kind of mistakes.

Request on 16:23:23, 10 June 2022 for assistance on AfC submission by 97.89.193.22
I am the elected District Attorney of St. Landry Parish Louisiana. There are only 42 DAs in Louisiana. I am the only registered republican ever elected to this position in this parish (county). I have been covered in statewide newspaper articles and local television news programs. That's it. Should I continue to try to be published? Thanks, Chad.

 * Firstly, you should read this guidance on creating autobiographies WP:AUTOBIO, which will hopefully convince you not to do it.
 * Beyond that, much depends on the availability of sources: you say you have been covered in many newspaper articles and TV programmes, yet your draft cites none (yes, it mentions one possible source, but it isn't properly cited). Please see the general notability guideline at WP:GNG for advice on how to establish notability, and WP:REFB for advice on how to reference articles. Best, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:30, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
 * And please read WP:Biographies of living persons. If your draft is bereft of sources, or has far too few in-depth, non-routine, independent sources written by identifiable journalists and published in outlets with editorial oversight that fact-checks, discloses, corrects, and retracts, it will be declined. Sourcing is king. —Jéské Couriano  v^&lowbar;^v  a little blue Bori 18:53, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

20:39:20, 10 June 2022 review of submission by Bikebagel
Hello, my submission for this article was rejected on the basis that is sounds too much like an advertisement. I'm looking for clarification on what aspects in the article sounds too much like an advertisement. I kept to the information directly related to the carshare, and did not include any pricing data. I tried to follow the established article for Modo, another carshare service, which, in my opinion, sounds more like an advertisement than my draft for peg city car co-op does. There is an difficulty in writing about a company while avoiding terms that sounds like advertising. Any guidance on how to improve this article will be much appreciated!

Bikebagel (talk) 20:39, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
 * It's an advertisement because it just tells about the company and its offerings. Wikipedia articles must do more. A Wikipedia article about a company must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the company, showing how it meets Wikipedia's special definition of a notable company.
 * As you have found, using other articles as a model is a crapshoot, as they too could be problematic. 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. If you want to use other articles as a model, use those classified as good articles.
 * If you work for this company, please read WP:COI and WP:PAID for information on required formal disclosures. 331dot (talk) 21:35, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Very helpful links here, I will review what you have sent and make updates to my draft :)  Bikebagel (talk) 21:42, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
