11:26:26, 28 February 2023 review of draft by 45.247.209.17
Hello,

I recently translated a page from Arabic to English. However, it got rejected because there were "no reliable sources". The thing is: this is a translation and I have used the Arabic sources that have been approved for the original page. I assumed it would only get rejected if the translation was inaccurate or anything, but why would a translation get rejected for relying on the original article's sources? Isn't the aim of translation to make it more accessible to English speaking audiences? Or am I getting it wrong?

Thank you.

 * Hi IP, first the draft was not rejected, only declined. The difference is significant because a decline allows for resubmission (improve and try again) while a rejection does not (end of road).  Second, each language is its own project with its own policies and guidelines so an article acceptable in one language may be not acceptable in another and vice versa.  The English language Wikipedia tends to more strict than others.  Read through the material linked in the decline message which provides the notability and sourcing criteria.

 * The Arabic page might not have ever been "approved" by anyone. David10244 (talk) 07:20, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

I am requesting help to figure out what significant coverage means when it comes to notability. I made a draft for an article of Barry Blechman, and it was rejected for not having significant coverage by unbiased secondary sources. However, in the article it is noted that he was a former advisor to President Jimmy Carter and the co-founder of a major think tank. Is this insufficient to warrant an article? Thank you.

 * The reviewer left a comment on the draft speaking to this, but to answer you, there must be sources that go into detail about this person and tell what is important or significant about them. Advising Carter could be significant, but we need to know why as independent sources see it. 331dot (talk) 15:49, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
 * @Groden16 It's not just what the person has done, but what has been written  and published about him that will demonstrate his notability. David10244 (talk) 07:22, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

 * @FreakyA please read through all the declines, the rejection and the comments that have been left by reviewers. At the end of the day, the draft does not meet the the inclusion criteria and violates WP:NOTPROMO and WP:NOTCV. S0091 (talk) 15:57, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

15:47:50, 28 February 2023 review of draft by GMorris419
I need help figuring out what exactly my pending article (Sugar Valley Rural Charter School) needs to be properly written and formatted. I keep thinking my article is meeting all of the criteria, but it keeps getting declined. I'm also confused of why some editors think my article contains paid contributions, when in fact it does not at all. I want to remove any indication that my article does, but I am unsure where any person would get the notion of this from.

 * People think you are an employee of the school based on your writing. Since you told me earlier that you aren't, and are a student, that's all you need to say. Regarding your question, you have done well to document the existence of the school and its new wing, but that's not what we are looking for. The opening of a building for the school is a routine activity that does not establish that the school meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable organization. There must be sigificant coverage in independent reliable sources, coverage that goes into detail as to what is important/significant/influential about the school. Does it rank highly in test results or state rankings? Has it implemented a unique education model that others emulate? Things like that. 331dot (talk) 15:57, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

I am just curious because I've written this draft and the other members' articles (HORI7ON) were already approved. They were Vinci Malizon and Jeromy Batac. I actually used the same sources as them and added more references and citation but the reviewer said insufficient sources. Can you tell me what's wrong? Thank you!

Mister.lucky95 (talk) 16:40, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Please read other stuff exists. Other articles existing has no bearing on yours- it could be that these other articles are also inappropriate, and you would not be aware of this.  An article can exist without being "approved" by anyone, in many ways. The issue is not the number of sources, but the quality of sources. Few high-quality sources are preferable to a large number of low-quality sources. We are looking for a draft to summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the person, showing how they meet the special Wikipedia definition of a notable person or more narrowly a notable musician.  We aren't looking for announcments of their activities, but sources that go in depth about the person, discussing what they see as signficant/important/influential about the person. 331dot (talk) 20:06, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Hi @Avik tubai, you do not ask a question but read through the comments left by reviewers along with all the material linked in the decline notices. S0091 (talk) 17:47, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

17:33:08, 28 February 2023 review of draft by Avik tubai
I am wondering why the article is getting rejected everytime where similar such article are in there. There are several references as well.

 * @Avik tubai See above and see also WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. The existence of other articles has no bearing on the draft as standards have changes over time so existing articles may not meet today's standards and things do still get by when they should not.

 * If you would like to help us out, you can identify some of these other articles you have seen that are also inappropriate so we can take action. We can only address what we know about. If you want to use other articles as a model or example, use those classified as good articles, which have been examined by the community. 331dot (talk) 20:08, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Please also note that repeatedly adding spam like this "Banglahunt is a leading digital media channel who collaborated with Polstreet during 2023 election. https://banglahunt.com/tripura-nagaland-meghalaya-exit-poll-kd/" to articles will quickly lead to a block.
