DGG, I see the Chad Robichaux page has been nominated for deletion. You stated that, "promotional bio. full of puffery and uncited praise. The athletic career does not seem to meet the requirements,and there is nothing else substantial. I would not have accepted this from AfC."
Thank you for your feedback on the article. I made some edits to the page to remove any puffery. It don't understand, however, your other reasons for this being deleted. Can you help me? As I read the biography for living person page this seems to fall in line with the requirements and the coverage doesn't fall under "routine coverage" as described.
You are the expert, so however I can learn and make this page better I will gladly hear. 2017?

Back in the day (Nov. 2013), you stated in an AfC comment that the subject is notable and that the page needed cleanup ( diff). So, I cleaned it up and published it in main namespace just now. Feel free to improve the article further. North America 1000 16:19, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
I came across 501 7th Avenue, SeaRise Office Tower, and 111 West 33rd Street and originally thought that it was a paid promotional editor and so put a paid editing notice on the creator's user talk page. Looking a bit closer at the user's created articles, it seems that they might actually be trying to spread information about Qatari owned businesses that have terrorist funding connections, and have created several BLPs/recent deaths that make terrorist funding/terrorism claims too: Ahmed Hikmat Shakir, Ismail al-Salabi, Mohammed bin Hashim al-Awadhy. I'm not sure how great the sourcing is on the BLPs, but given the sensitive nature of the topic and a near laser focus on it, it raised my eyebrows. You deleted Pamodzi Sports Marketing as G11, and since that was the last deletion on the talk page, and I know you have experience with COI type subjects, I thought I would get your thoughts. TonyBallioni ( talk) 23:45, 8 March 2017 (UTC)
Searise & W33rd St are I thing large enough; 7th Ave isn't but it was built by a famous architect. But what we really need is an article for the company that owns them (and the Empire State Building), Empire State Partners (formerly Empire State Realty Trust), which is mentioned in the Empire State building article); it is a NUYSE company and has an interesting history. None of this of course answers the question of whether we should keep articles on notable subjects by undeclared paid promotional editors. I've been arguing that we should not--for those that are so notable as to be essential, someone else can rewrite them -- after a gap, because there is no other way to convince people that it is not helpful to pay for an article. If your suggestion is correct, it's still by a promotional editor, because it's advocacy which is considered as promotionalism , but that isn't considered nough reason for deletion, if the subject is notable just for revision unless it's so bad that revision is hopeless and it falls under G11.
Can you take a look at this please. I've prodded it because I'm sure it's an amalgam of chunks of text text copied from the one source that's used but I don't have the book. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 21:13, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
Kudpng, it cannot simultaneously be OR and copyvio. And if it is not copyvio, then I do not see it as OR, but the summary of information based on a book with other sources used as well.Thestyle, with the long quotations, and the manner of referencing, suggests that it's a term paper. The snippet view is useless, it's from a quotation in the book. I tried other phrases, only ones from the quotation bring up the book. I suspect its in part a paraphrase., at least as far as organization goes. It covers a narrower scope than the current title; I moved it to American Jewish Anti-Bolshevism during the Russian Revolution. I think the way to proceed is to list it at Copyright problems DGG ( talk ) 00:47, 19 May 2017 (UTC)

Dear David. When I first started writing entries you were very helpful and I would like to do the same for new writers on Canadian Art by starting a separate wikiproject or category to the Canadian article page. This would include general information on Canadian notability and key awards, institutions, sources of published articles etc as well as preview on request or review new entries. I – and hopefully others – would add information and rescue those entries with notability or stub tags, but not deletions. Does this sound like a good idea to you and, if so, could I send you my notability criteria who you to have a look at. Best regards, Heather HeatherBlack ( talk) 20:14, 20 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi DGG, Many thanks for your many productive contributions to the Wiki community. I'm a noobie here and am working on my first contribution, Draft:Tennessee Valley Interstellar Workshop (Thanks for the helpful suggestions). I've cited a mix of notable and non-notable sources (more of the latter), since the non-notable citations provide useful information. Does including a large fraction of non-notable citations detract from the article, per Wiki standards? Should I remove the non-notables (almost) completely? I've resubmitted my draft, and it's awaiting review. ~Cheers~ David Fieldsde ( talk) 15:03, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
With respect to Draft:Tennessee Valley Interstellar Workshop: We generally have been relatively reluctant to make articles of series of conferences,or organizations that sponsor them, unless there is very firm 3rd party evidence that they are regarded as the most important one in the subject. The sources in the draft are almost entirely publications by the organization itself or very closely related organizations, and therefore not independent. My role in screening AfCs is not to decide on accepting the article, but to try to estimate whether the community will accept it. The place where that decision is made is in an AfD discussion, and it goes by consensus. The way we do things here, nobody can fully predict the result of such discussions, but on the basis of my experience in many thousands of them, the article is unlikely to be accepted in its current form.

DGG Stop reversing the original "Letters to John Law" citation for the language relating to the duel of John Law and Edward Wilson on the Bloomsbury_Square page. You have clearly lost both your objectivity and credibility as a Wikipedia editor in relation to that edit as you have invented several incorrect reasons to justify your edit: justifications that are simply incorrect and baseless. Firstly, you claim the book is a "self published source" - that is simply incorrect. It is not. It is published by an established independent publisher. Secondly, you claim the book is "almost unknown" - again, that is simply incorrect. It is not: is on the reading list for the history of economics course at MIT ( http://lawandrevolution.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Finance_and_Fraud_Syllabus_3-7-14.pdf). Thirdly, the language stated in the article is taken from the Adams book - it is not from the Gleeson book you seem intent on incorrectly citing for the language from the Adams book, and that is because the Gleeson book does not deal with the duel in anywhere near the same extent as the Adams book. Fourthly, that citation and its corresponding text was inserted on the page in question (not by me - check the history) 5 years ago, and has quite correctly stood as the correct text and correct citation since that time, before you arbitrarily decided to erroneously remove it. Might I suggest you take a step back and attempt to regain some objectivity about that edit as you are damaging both the integrity of the article, and your own integrity as an editor by making inaccurate and unsubstantiated edits and inventing incorrect reasons for making them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Siolio ( talk • contribs) 01:22, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

Hi there. I worked very hard on the Livin Lite RV article to source it and be objective. To the extent that it could be perceived to read like an advertisement, that is due to the limited sources that are available (though I don't agree with the advertisement assertion). All content must be verifiable. I've written and edited many Wikipedia articles (not that that makes me any good). In working on this one I looked at other RV manufacturer articles. This new article is one of the best out there. It contains basic facts about the company that are all sourced and verifiable.

It's not enough I don't think to add that fact yet, but as soon as an RV news outlet covers it (as it seems likely that they will) I will add it to the article. I found the company interesting because it appears they produce something unique in the RV industry, which is notorious for poorly built products. I am a huge fan of Airstreams, but in some ways the Livin Lite products seem to be even better built than Airstreams. At any rate, the way they construct their trailers is what got my attention and what got me interested in it.-- Utahredrock ( talk) 04:02, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

A large section of this draft was added by a user (on your suggestion) to the text of Main Library (University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign) but in such a way that no indication of its origin was given and thus no credit was given to the original author(s). That needs to be remedied either through a history merge or through a deletion of all the subsequent revisions of the merge target, removing the copyvio content from the history (otherwise it is only too likely to be restored).
My suggestion would be to (1.) merge the history of Draft:The Rare Book & Manuscript Library with that of The Rare Book & Manuscript Library (University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign), then (2.) delete the copyvio-violating edits from the history of Main Library (University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign). If you still think the latter to be unsuitable for an article of its own, the third and final step step would be to (3.) redirect and re-merge parts of The Rare Book & Manuscript Library (University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign) with The Rare Book & Manuscript Library (University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign) but with an edit comment indicating the origin of the content. -- Hegvald ( talk) 06:04, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
Hi DGG, I hope you’re well. I know it’s been a while since we last spoke, but I’m looking for guidance on conflict resolution, and your name has appeared in a number of places across Wikipedia. You commented on my initial propositions to make changes to David M. Cote three years ago, and weighed in on my ongoing dispute with Philafrenzy not too long after. I recently requested new edits, and Philafrenzy again antagonized me on the sole basis that I am a COI editor. I want to understand what my options are and what best practices would be for resolving this conflict. I previously submitted an RfC, requested a 3O, and submitted an edit request.
I feel that despite my efforts, any propositions I make are viewed with great antagonism, and that my character is attacked rather than the content I’m suggesting. It seems to me that Philafrenzy is being deliberately obstinate (and I’m sure they think the same of me), but it’s difficult for me to continue assuming good faith when they neglect to engage on the talk page and instead edit the article directly, with the recent exception of another personal attack after I made another edit request.
Philafrenzy and I have found common ground before, so I don’t think it’s outside the realm of possibility for us to come to some sort of understanding. Would you agree that mediation is the next step forward? I don’t think we’ve reached the point of arbitration, and I’d like to handle this as diplomatically as possible.-- FacultiesIntact ( talk) 19:32, 5 March 2018 (UTC)
Kesari Tours article has been deleted from Wikipedia because it was repeatedly recreated for promoting Kesari Tours in the past (G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion: G4: Recreation of a page that was deleted per a deletion discussion, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kesari Tours). If you go through the content written by me, I have not mentioned about any awards and achievements of Kesari Tours as mentioned in the past articles. I have completely referred to facts and figures mentioned in the news sites and they don't intend to promote Kesari Tours. I have cross checked the articles mentioned in the past and I completely agree that they were misleading and inappropriate. My objective of creating Kesari Tours on Wikipedia is to lead audience with appropriate facts and figures rather than mislead them. I am quite aware about the guidelines for creating an article on Wikipedia and I have always tried to stick around with the facts. It will be really helpful if you can review the content written by me and further guide me to edit the content which can be further reviewed by you before I upload it on Wikipedia. It will be a learning for an aspiring Wikipedia contributor as well.
I am also putting forward this request because in India many people get their tickets booked from Kesari Tours and we can also add a column of criticism where we can include a couple of fraud cases that customers have faced. At the end of the day, Wikipedia should be able to spread correct information. I am an independent contributor and I don't support any organization. Hence I am not a supporter of Kesari Tours but I want audience in India to be informed about the presence of this firm just like all the other companies. All of my statements are supported by news facts. As said before, I will edit the article as per your guidance and going forward I can keep monitoring the page to avoid addition of any wrong information or promotional content. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gadgetsgigs ( talk • contribs) 09:27, 15 March 2018 (UTC)

DGG, I respect the view your expressed at Nextdoor very much and in the normal course of events, that's ideal. There's a proposal, an independent editor reviews it and says yes or no or asks me to make changes. Maybe there is some discussion or an RfC. It's all pretty straightforward. All I tell people who hire me is that I will try to get them a fair article, stay strictly within WP policy and act ethically above all else. I turn down maybe 4 out of 5 people who ask for help because their requests seem invalid to me. I'm independent - no one can hoist an assignment on me. I come up with my own article language for a proposal, based on what I think is fair and allowable under WP policy, and only have clients do a review for accuracy.
For Nextdoor, I am only hoping for fairness and NPOV from editors who take the time to review all the relevant sources. emark came after a specific matter in question had been decided contrary the editor's position.

== Sylvia Spring - "deleted self-serving promotional quotes" ==
Hi DGG, I notice that you have edited this article. I have no problem with that, but I do wonder why you described it as "deleting self-serving promotional quotes". I have no connection at all with Sylvia Spring - I had not heard of her before I saw the AfD. I included quotes from her as I thought they were interesting. Perhaps they are not appropriate for the style of Wikipedia - as I have said, I am new here. But they were in no way "self-serving" or "promotional", and your assumption that they were is unfounded, and unnecessary to include in a description of the edits you have done.

Hi! I need help understanding what specific changes I should make to the page in order to meet Wikipedia's guidelines. The reason for your decline stated that it "should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources," and as you'll see, I included 16 entirely independent, highly reputable sources -- none of which included content produced by or for the company. Additionally, when modeling this submission, I took careful pains to ensure it matched the near-exact format of other published Wikipedia pages (such as Rent_the_Runway and Hims,_Inc.). So I'm really unsure as to what I should be editing. The more specific guidance, the better! I welcome any & all feedback. Thank you very much!

Hi DDG
As a Creative professionals, I would like to contest the nomination for speedy deletion, however the page is no longer in existence that I can see.
It was referenced as G11 Unambiguous advertising or promotion. The information was factual and based off a number of external wiki resources as well as internal wiki references. If it was believed the content was not written from a neutral point of view i would have like the opportunity to adjust the text accordingly
According to the List of Policies Criteria for speedy deletion [1] Articles, images, categories etc. may be "speedily deleted" if they clearly fall within certain categories, which generally boil down to pages lacking content, or disruptive pages. Anything potentially controversial should go through the deletion process instead. The content was not lacking or distruptive and would not cause any controversy. The only criteria that the page could have fallen under would be a Proposed deletion of biographies of living people [2]
If you could advise on how i can proceed, as i have been advised by WP:REFUND that i should contact the administrator who carried out the deletion as the page was completely deleted overnight.
If you have any advise on how to improve the page that would be appreciated, as i am new to wikipedia posting any would appreciate any guidance.

Sir, one of contribution made by an user "Abrjestin" in Dr. Shamsheer article is irrelevant. He removed the previous relevant edits made by other user. One of his work is that he removed a preposition "a" before"MBBS"(undergraduate) degree owned by Dr. Shamsheer (in early life paragraph). A silly grammatical error. I have also seen that you had advised him not to make such edits on his talk page but in spite of that he is not paying attention. I also think that the article page should be protected so, that any irrelevant edit should not be done by anyone. It will be very nice if you cross check the article once more. Thanks.

Dear Editor, I found this thought of yours "Furthermore, promotionalism in the world in general, and in Wikipedia in particular, is so pervasive, that even people without a promotional intend tend to write in a promotional manner." I wonder if this is a trap I might be in too. When I saw your comments on Draft:Sergei_Vakarin I thought it was clear what to do and fixed most of the issues you kindly mentioned. I presented the facts and provided references. However, maybe my current style is a reflection of the trend you mention? Your editorial experience (if I could ask for a favour) would help me a lot in improving my style for any further articles I was planning about issues that are currently missing from the Wikipedia.

@ DGG:, the reason I added the WP:PROD tag to the above-captioned redirect pages is that they serve as a redirect to a list of Canadian banks; however, for clarity and information purposes, they're listed as redlinked names in the Template:Canadian banks pages (should anyone ultimately decide to create a page, and so people know they exist). Thus, clicking on that link in that footer box takes the user to yet another list making for a de-facto double redirect. If you'd let me put back on the WP:PROD tag, that'd be appreciated as my concern is the RfD deletion process doesn't have a high success rate. Doug Mehus ( talk) 03:48, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

Hello User:DGG, It was great meeting you at WikiConference North America this year! Relating to the conversation we had, I decided to do a bit of digging, to give a bit more of a colorful idea behind the idea of geographies as a spacial marker for varied economic realities as used in the roundtable we shared in. I noted your preference for this term as opposed to (the oft-used) unnuanced hemispheric divisions for discussions relating to global issues surrounding economics, human development, and access.
The term (in this context) is a multidisciplinary approach to identifying and appealing to a more politically correct & comprehensive view of varying realities with an eye for establishing a distancing from implicit political & racial biases. It achieves this through the intentional exclusion of the terms "North" and "South"; cited as sources of the aforementioned implicit bias(es). Moreover, authors like Ahlberg et. al speak of the 'biases' resulting from;
...the shift from an explicitly racial system of stratification for example, based on colonialism, segregation and apartheid, to a system of racial hegemony.
— Ahlberg et. al, https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsoc.2019.00061/full
I would love to delve much further into the idea with you perhaps, at your convenience, either in a presentation or even a paper if you'd like.
Let's keep the conversation going.

Dear DGG,
Thanks for taking so much time and energy ensuring the quality of Wikipedia.
I am writing on behalf of a student of mine who conducted some research on the Cherokee Files (formerly classified correspondence between the U.S. and the Republic of Korea during the critical 1979-1980 period). Together we determined that putting some basic information about these documents up on Wikipedia would be a useful service. Hence, his created page: /info/en/?search=Draft:Cherokee_Files.
As we are both neophytes, could you please provide a little more detail as to precisely why the page was declined? The sources used are primarily the actual files themselves. Is there a reason why that is unacceptable? Would the entire entry be more acceptable if he were to rework (or remove entirely) the "Controversy" section?
I hope to be able to use creating Wikipedia pages as a potential student assignment in the future; therefore, the more clarity I can get on what is and is not acceptable will be most appreciated!
Cheers,

Hi DGG -- You and I clearly disagree about quite how promotional articles need to be for G11 to apply. Kaveh Alizadeh appears only very borderline notable and might benefit from a test at AfD. Younan Nowzaradan is, I think, probably notable if only as a television personality, but you could try redirecting to My 600-lb Life and see if you get reverted.

Hi DGG. Since you recently reviewed Draft:Robert A. Olson and made comments about the subject's notability, and you've also been working on the Biografer cleanup, I thought you might want to know about Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Robert A. Olson. BTW, I thought in the case of this particular article, it had been rephrased enough so that it wasn't a G12 of the NYTimes death notice cited in the article (like many other of these creations were), but you may have a different opinion on that.

Hi! I saw you put some tags on the new article on Pamela E. Harris. I was just wondering if you could explain further.

Hi DGG. Could you please advice about the following? A month ago I created a wiki page 'Lodi ceramics', which you approved. I would now like to edit the page 'Ceramic art', section 'History', subsection 'Europe'. I could add a sentence about Lodi ceramics in the Tin-glazed pottery sub-sub-section, but this sub-sub-section is so short that it would be much better to improve this section about tin-glazed pottery adding details about Italy and the 17th-18th century at least. However I don't have enough knowledge. Adding just a sentence about Lodi ceramics feels like adding a details to a background that is missing. Alternatively, I could add a section at the bottom of the History-Europe section, titled 'Pottery in Italy', and just add the wikilink to Lodi ceramics. Similar sections already exist for Germany, Austria and Russia. What do you advice? Thanks in advance -- Arkie Hodge ( talk) 20:28, 18 January 2020 (UTC)

Marissascavuzzo, first step is to answer my question---since the article is written in the promotional style usually association with press releases, (for example, ...Tesar transitioned directly into an independent position back in his hometown... ; or talking about the many possible medical applications of the general field in which he works, ) you need to say if you have some conflict of interest, as we define it at
WP:COI; in particular, if it should be the case that this involves payment of if you are in any way connected with his company or any firm working for it, you need to declare fully according to
WP:PAID. And have you ever used any other username here?

Hi, thanks for reviewing the article. Since your review, I researched the subject more and found some more independent sources. I've included them as citations. I know that I've included some listings and links to the books the subject has co-authored with his wife, but I thought they would work as proof alongside the independent articles that have been published about him. Is that not right?
Also, you have asked me to remove the PR articles, but I tried to be careful about not including any press releases, self-written and published articles by the subject, or his own companies' websites. Can you please point out which ones you found to be PR? Perhaps I am not looking at them as I should, but it would be really helpful for this article and the ones I'll write in future.

Hi DGG. I just wrote up a WP:STUB, see Draft:Seven Nations (Bible) because I first tried looking this up on Seven Nations which turns out to be a disambiguation page. So I searched further on WP and found that there is information with citations about these so-called Seven Nations or Tribes to be found in Judaism and war#Wars of extinction in the Tanakh and Jewish responses. However @ Jmertel23: decided to move it off to "draft oblivion" where there is a waiting time of SIX months!
This was totally unfair and in violation of WP:DONOTDEMOLISH because (a) it is just a stub, and stubs are given time, lots of time. (b) It's a topic based on BIBLE verses from the Book of Deuteronomy. (c) I subsequently added two Biblical sources from Deuteronomy Chapter 7 verses 2-3 and Chapter 20 verses 16-18. (d) I am currently editing from my mobile phone which is hard enough but that makes it very difficult to utilize Wikipedia's referencing tools. (e) As an exeperienced WP editor in good standing for over 17 years I am well-aware of WP policies and I certainly qualify as as a WP:EXPERT editor who knows what he is doing. Finally, (f) User:Jmertel should have contacted me on on my talk page instead of coming across as a boderline violater of WP:CIVIL and WP:AGF.
Thanks for hearing me out and for all your patience.
Please restore the Seven Nations (Bible) stub as soon as possible. I have asked some other editors to help out to improve the stub, hopefully they will. Thanks again, IZAK ( talk) 01:11, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
Dear DGG, I politely have to disagree with the judgement of being advertising due to the following reasons:
It is a big problem, that there is hardly any independent information about these devices available on the internet, even though they play a central and important role in the pharmaceutical industry: namely in the purification of Biopharmaceuticals/biologics, which is the fastest growing class of drugs (every second cancer drug is meanwhile a "biologic"). What specific additions would convince you to NOT classify the article as advertising? This question is not rhetoric as I would like to get your honest answer! Notwithstanding now the fact that it is very rudimentary, but that's why Wikipedia exist that the community (including me) can improve on it over the next days, weeks and months.
I started to use the machine when it was introduced to the market (in 1994) had am still using it occasionally today. I have been teaching university courses about its use in protein purification. But again, there is no information about these devices on the internet (except for the vendors own info). The vendor has tried to start some online "community" about five years back, but without success. The device (and also its newer incarnations) is used mostly in proprietary (secretive) environments such as the pharmaceutical industry; maybe that's why these efforts have never taken off.
Thank you for your contribution, but I will try to get this article accepted with all the necessary modifications to fulfill the spirit of Wikipedia. I am just a very occasional contributor to Wikipedia. While the culture of Wikipedia is well know to frequent contributors, it is very different to e.g. the culture that I am used to (i.e. the world of scientific publication).

Thanks for your comment on my talk page. I'll move and respond to it here.
You wrote:

"Are you realy sure you meant to restore the full to a bio article? DGG ( talk ) 18:19, 11 February 2020 (UTC)"
Actually, not exactly. But I felt it was the best way to respond to your two original edits. So let's discuss.
First, you tagged the entire article with an "advertisement" claim. Then you removed what you believed to be advertisements. But then you left the advertisement tag? I'm sure you understand that looks like trying to have it both ways. If you tag something you see as a problem, then fix the problem, why wouldn't you remove the tag? Or was that simply something you overlooked when you were done?
Second, I also respectfully disagree with you in some other areas as well; and I'm happy to explain those.
1) I honestly haven't ever seen an advertising tag on a BLP before. What "product" do you feel is being advertised? Of course, I would understand if [Tim Cook|Tim Cook's] bio talked too much about the release of the next iPhone. That's a product that's for sale. But that doesn't apply here. So I felt the tag was inappropriate. Of course, I've seen BLPs with the "resume" tag when they're just dry recitations. But that isn't the case here either. And severe edits shouldn't cause it either.
2) I know you'll agree that by definition, a BLP is a biography. So why remove either a relevant WP:RS biographical quote, or an RS quote explaining something noteworthy in the BLP? You also removed half the RS honors and awards in a way that seemed abitrary.
Also I see you've "subsequently" (see what I did there :) made 2 new edits and invited discussion. So let's discuss those.
In your first you removed a quote because you said it was: "unreliable sourced material removed from BLP-- based on hisword only." Are you saying the source was unreliable? Because the RS was a university website. If you're saying that he himself is unreliable because it was "his word only," I believe that's acceptable ( WP:BLPSELFPUB) for a brief but relevant quote about his own upbringing. There are also separate RS in the paragraph right before it, (which you also wanted to remove). There are RS links to 2 of his siblings and they both confirmed his quote on the university website.
And in your last you removed what you called an advert.
I'm always happy to collaborate and compromise. So let's try:
1) I agree we remove the last quote you took out. It's 2 sentences, but if you feel strongly then fine. In return, I'd like to keep his quote. I think it's interesting and important. I'll include it's from an interview, so it's not like he's just waxing nostalgic.
2) I also agree the daughters ref can be trimmed. Just listing their names is fine. I've already done that.
3) I think the list of Honors should remain intact because it's consistent with other university president BLPs, which list either honors or publications a bit, but not both. Like here, here, here, or here.
That covers it, I think. If you have anything else, let me know. Otherwise, agreed? X4n6 ( talk) 22:39, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

Hello, Thank you very much for reviewing my draft article and I certainly appreciate the opinion of an expert Wikieditor. Just for the record, I'm neither working nor connected to TAP DMV and its employees.
May I ask what are the things that should be changed on the draft article? If there is a need for citation on the information, particularly on each of the channels, I have DVR recordings to show as a proof.
Also, If my Wikipedia article has not been approved, then why is the TAP Sports article, which contains far less details and contains only one reference, has been approved?

I just posted a link to the page in question. I have now successfully provided fully labeled redirects pointing to each of the drafts left by this user. Also, I created a sub-directory for all such drafts, so that any editor at all can get a comprehensive list of the full set of drafts, merely by using this template.
furthermore, I made the sub-page as a sub-page for the page for all deceased Wikipedians; in other words, any other such drafts can be added to the same sub-directory, so it will be easier for such editing efforts to proceed, since we have one centralized location to view them.

We got a notification from wikipedia that says deleted page Draft:Neeyamo (G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion, noticed that the request to deletion was initiated by you. We look at having a company page without any promotions with respect to the wikipedia guidelines. Can you please help us get back the deleted article and also let us know if there is anything that any content that have to be removed for a green signal to conversion into a wiki page? Irenejones2009 Irenejones2009, who is us and we ? Only individuals must edit, so I assume you are a representative of the company. If so, you must make the appropriate declaration according to WP:COI and WP:PAID. After that, we can discuss it further. DGG ( talk ) 06:47, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

Hi DDG,
Thank you for reviewing - Draft:Airoll (Vehicle). As per your comments some sections have been reworded as to avoid paraphrasing and an etymology section has been added to discuss the naming of the vehicle. Please let me know if any other changes are needed. *******
Wikimedia received a request to delete a draft article ticket:2019122210000089 the relevant draft is Draft:Joseph G. Sorokin.
At the time of the request, the draft had not been edited in just short of six months. I responded to them that it would likely be automatically deleted in a few days. However, you edited the article in the interim resetting the six-month clock.
While they were willing to accept a few days delay, my guess is they won't be happy to hear that it will take at least another six months.
Do you have any particular thoughts?
I suppose I can nominate for AFD but I wanted to check with you first. S Philbrick (Talk) 15:04, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
Hey, DGG. I am following up on edits to the draft Granite_Telecommunications (see "Perplexed" above). We discussed the needed changes in December and I made the edits you requested at the time. Since the volume of interaction with you and the community is significant, I've quietly watching for updates. But now that we're coming up on a couple of months since the edits were made, I figure I should squeak, so I'm checking in to see if there's anything else I need to do. Also, I do plan to help with other business pages as you indicated is needed (especially since everyone's doing what I did -- make a page that looks like the other pages). In fact, I had been actively editing a range of content over the latter part of last year. But I held back since I wasn't looking for the things that you have pointed out to me here. I'll pick that back up when I see how this page nets out and I am confident that I'm not just replacing one bad edit with another... Thanks. Technutt ( talk) 19:42, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

Hi, thank you very much for taking the time to review my draft. I read the reason that you rejected it (a lack of significant coverage) and included four more reputable citations that feature Silver as the main subject, not just a passing mention. I also condensed some of the language in his biography so that every fact is backed up directly by a reputable source.

Thank you, DGG, for reviewing my entry on Noma Copley ( /info/en/?search=Draft:Noma_Copley) and for your feedback. I've revised according to that feedback, removing all "peacock terms" and making the language more formal. I also added a few additional citations that underscore the notability of the subject.

Sorry to pester you for a second review, but I am anxious to confirm whether or not I'm on the right track with this entry. I would very much appreciate it if you could take a few minutes to give my entry on Noma Copley another look. She has for too long been in the shadow of her former husband, William Copley, whose Wiki entry contributes, in my opinion, to her marginalization. I'm looking forward to being able to add a link to that Wiki page that enables readers to learn about his partner's role in activities for which he is being given sole credit. Thank you in advance. Gaw54 ( talk) 17:18, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for the feedback. The use of first names is to distinguish Noma from her (ex)husband Bill and are only used when they are both mentioned. I'll take a look for other places where "she" can be used. I'm not sure what you mean by dropping the namedropping. The context both in which and with whom she worked is important to her story, as are the names of the artists who were in her collection. That's what defines a notable collection. One question: can you explain why Carroll O'Conner is in red rather than linking to the Wiki page for him? Thanks again for taking time to review. Gaw54 ( talk) 01:30, 22 February 2020 (UTC)

Dear DGG. In my ignorance I appended a message for you in your Archive for September 2019 as that was the last time we corresponded. I have copied the text I inserted below. The only comment I would add to it is that I am having great difficulty in obtaining independent external evidence of the use of ROADEX technologies on public road networks as the average engineer and employing organisation involved do not normally publish such information. Engineers need to promote their work more in this regard and the ROADEX project is actively encouraging this. That said, any help/guidance you can give will be much appreciated. The text I appended in your September Archive was:
Eonmun, Promotional writing tells the audience what the subject would like them to know. Encyclopedic writing tells the audience what they would reasonably want to know and expect to find in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedic writing is directed to the general public who might come across the subject and want to find some objective information.
DGG, Thank you for your suggestions. I accept them all. I needed the guidance and will take a fresh look at the draft page. Ronmun ( talk) 14:01, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

Am I missing something, because the opening paragraphs of the text seem more like an attack section than anything else. -- Mr. Vernon ( talk) 21:56, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
Hi, thank you for looking at Draft:Benevity. I'm confused by the move into draft space, why this instead of adding maintenance tags or AfD, with no discussion on talk prior to the move?
I disagree completely on it being 'undersourced' as a) there is no unsourced material in the article, and b) it has many significant, independent, reliable, secondary sources, in my opinion more than enough to meet WP:GNG and WP:COMPANY. While it may sound promotional, a) this is simply a reflection of the reliable sources and b) I don't believe that a promotional tone justifies removing the article from the namespace.
I'm annoyed that a consensus of one was able to remove this article from the encyclopedia, and that it will now have to undergo a long bureaucratic process rather than being improved in the namespace (my first time dealing with AfC - maybe I'm wrong). Thank you. - M.Nelson ( talk) 10:09, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
Currently, the main difficulty for Wikipedia is the widespread presence of promotionalism ... In dealing with this, we try to find intermediate solutions between tagging an article, but never being able to follow up, and deleting it altogether. The current method is the use of draft space. It has in most respects been quite successful-- all articles by new editors get submitted there, and we can keep track of what gets improved and what does not. The use of draft space also opens the participation in this process to non-admins. Anyone can move an article to draft, not just admins, and the process of accepting articles from draft is done by a those editors who hold the AFCH permission, as well as admins. All in al, its a fairer and more effective than our earlier ways of dealing with this (It has problems, such as the delays, but about half the articles now get reviewed almost immediately). Another problem, common to other areas in WP , is the use of templates. They're necessary to handle the work, and as a guide for less experienced reviewers, . but the wording does not always apply.
There are several ways of looking at what promotionalism consists of: Promotional articles (and web sites) tell the reader what the company (or other subject) would like them to know; in contrast, encyclopedia articles say what the general public might reasonable want to know, having heard of the organization or other subject. Promotional writing is directed towards employees or potential employees or supporter or potential supporters, clients or potential clients.
Looking at the draft, I do consider it inadvertently worded in a promotional way. This is particularly difficult to avoid in companies of this sort--those directed to b-to-b services, and claiming to produce social as well as commercial benefits The best way for me to explain this is to modify it and then accept it, which I have just done. Part of the delay was my difficulty in figuring out how to deal with a case of writing in a clearly promotional style from an editor who had not done so previously. If you do not like what I have done, you may of course add it back, but consider first the most neutral way to word it: I sometimes say that encyclopedic writing should be concise, cold, dull, and descriptive. If you do add it back, I shall not argue, but might use afd in the old way. DGG ( talk ) 05:32, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

Hello DGG. First of all, thank you for your ongoing feedback on this draft article - it's been incredibly instructive. I've made the changes in line with your previous suggestions: including the removal of Daily Mail citations, removal of anything which could be construed as namedropping, and the removal of direct quotes from the subject and others.

Doogierev, I've done what I could to help the article, by removing excess use of the name, the organisation's name, and repeated links . But I see you left in the material about the debating and undergraduate successes. I do not see why the public should be interested in them. What I do see, is that it is setting up an image of coming from a single mother family, who succeeds in school and then in university, as a first generation Oxbridge student thus providing the background for Seddon's authenticity in offering a program for other young people to replicate his achievement. This is the way good PR is written. Wikipedia does not publish PR. DGG ( talk ) 07:21, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

Hi!
I was wondering if you could provide some more details about why this draft: /info/en/?search=Draft:Clodagh_O%27Shea was rejected. I agree that I should add a degree history and will do so, but I am confused about some of the other comments.
The rejection noted that my article was written in a "non-neutral" tone but the only full statement that I have is: "Clodagh C. O'Shea is a professor of molecular and cell biology and current Wicklow Chair at the Salk Institute for Biological Sciences and a scholar at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute," which is a statement of fact. Everything else is lists of publications or awards.
In addition, I am confused as to why I need to provide her top 5 cited publications with the number of citations, when this page: /info/en/?search=Mario_Rocca was recently approved and has only 3 publications listed without any indication of how often they're cited.
Lastly, the comments include "And any national level awards--not junior awards or awards from their own university." I realize that the awards listed might be perceived as "junior" but the Beckman award is national and comes with a substantial grant and is important enough that it even has its own Wikipedia article. The "distinguished investigator" award is pretty common among other Wikipedia articles for scientists and that particular one was awarded by another national institute with a Wikipedia entry. I've adjusted the citations so that they come from the awarding agency instead of the Salk Institute, in the hopes that maybe that will help.

User:DGGI can assure you that I am not being paid to write about a fellow scientist, nor am I at Prof Andrews’ institution. I have written the article in a neutral way as required. I admire their work and feel it is not well known to the public despite its importance and it having touched many lives for the better. The role of Sanger and Andrews in developments of agents to mitigate chemotherapy-nduced emesis is stated in peer-reviewed papers in top journals, that is, their contributions have been reviewed by peers and are accepted by the research community. The basic science work they contributed to understanding the efficacy of 5HT-3 and NK1 receptor antagonists led to the drugs Granisetron and Emend, that have been and still are prescribed worldwide. Their roles are discussed at length in the Wellcome Trust ‘Witnesses to Contemporary Medicine’ report as is referenced in the article. I haven’t written other articles as I’m new to wiki page writing. I didn’t realise it was as difficult as it seems. That I know of his nomination is part of the usual leaks in the science world that surround the Nobel process, and have for decades, nothing new there. It is not mentioned in the article originally or in the amended version. Reference Daphne Christie; Tilli Tansey, eds.

Thank you for these helpful editorial comments, DGG. I am carefully following all of your directions in this revision.
I have sought a more formal and neutral tone, mentioned books only once and removed from the lede, and delegated reviews to references. I am removing any indications of praise and cleanly separating artistic from academic pursuits.
There is no conflict of interest. I am a musicologist, so I know Jon McCollum’s work well and can confirm it is having an impact. I have never been his teacher, student, lover, family member or anything like that, and have never even been employed by the same institution, just a professional colleague with some shared interests. I am not in any way compensated – no quid pro quo - for writing this entry.
I hope some version of this article can be accepted since it seems worthwhile to have academic profiles on Wikipedia, and he is doing significant work.
Please consider whether the article can now be approved or if additional edits are necessary. I am not sure if the headings are correctly formatted. Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Luresblow ( talk • contribs) 17:41, 19 March 2020 (UTC)

Hi there, I have been researching Dr Syra Madad and was intending to create a wiki page on her. However, I saw that a draft had already been created but then declined for lack of notability. I was therefore wondering if you could elaborate on why you think Dr Madad fails to meet the notability critiera? Having checked
WP:ACADEMIC and
WP:BIO, I believe Dr Madad is notable enough for inclusion based on the following criteria:
Criteria 7. The person has made substantial impact outside academia in their academic capacity. (Criterion 7 may be satisfied, for example, if the person is frequently quoted in conventional media as an academic expert in a particular area. A small number of quotations, especially in local news media, is not unexpected for academics and so falls short of this mark.)
Dr Madad has been frequently cited in the media with regards to her expertise in infectious disease, especially during the current coronavirus pandemic. She was also selected as an expert for the Netflix documentary 'Pandemic: How to Prevent an Outbreak'.
The subject has received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject.
Based on the sources listed above (and others not included), I believe this constitutes significant coverage of the subject.

Hello DGG, I expanded it a bit and made it more respectable. What do you think about it ? I think it's quite close to wikipedia level. Yug (talk) 17:59, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
Yug, you still need to remove some adjectives of praise or importance, check the section headings, reconsider if the article about her should be a guide to her routine statements about COVID, and try to find a better source for what she has accomplished tha her own statements in an interview DGG ( talk ) 01:23, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
Hi DGG, looking to talk about which part of the article makes you believe Draft:Renowned LA is a press release? I kept it short for this reason (it's easier to get feedback).
I'm thinking the later part of the second sentence where the article states celebrities who wear the brand could be redundant for WP:SIGCOV since its established in the following sentence.
I'm looking to create a few articles to keep me entertained during the Covid-19 pandemic and could use some feedback so every article I make over the next week or two doeesn't get deleted. I plan to use similar format when creating my stubs (overview and history then basic notability references). Pilot333 ( talk) 14:10, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
If you don't mind, I could use some advice or input on a situation, not sure if I'm overreacting, under reacting, or acting appropriately, as the situation is sort of unique. This started when I placed a notability maintenance template as part of NPP and was working with the page creator here to explain the concerns. Apparently, I did not respond to his latest comment quick enough and came back to see that some article I created seven years ago had been stripped and gutted, by the user's own admittance as an act of retribution, further comments here. I reverted the edits he made, as I saw it as a WP:WITCHHUNT and an effort to be destructive instead of constructive and explained such and invited the user to comment on his concerns on the talk page. When the user started in with more passive-aggressive statements, judgments on my contributions, and empty apologies, I chose to try to WP:DISENGAGE and ask the user to stop what I perceived as harassing and continuing comments. I reverted one last time the users edits stating I would need time to review what is wrong with the article and their actions couldn't be viewed as constructive. From that the user has now set another passive aggressive deadline on me in their most recent comment on the Lucky Lou's talk page..
I'll be the first to admit, the Lucky Lou's article is problematic and in need of help and possibly not even notable. I had actually completely forgotten about this article that was created in my Wiki infancy. I would like to improve the article, but I feel that any edits I make would be met with interference and more unwanted interactions with this user. I also am concerned whether or not this user is performing the same acts of retribution against other reviewers/editors who are critical of their work. I could have handled the situation better by probably not reverting their edits and just coming back after a few days. I'm likely just going to wait for the user to move on in a continuing effort to WP:DISENGAGE as much as possible. Just wondering if I have some sort of responsibility in letting a third party know about this, to see if this user has done such actions in the past, since from what I understand retribution and unconstructive edits like this are very much against quite a few policies and I wouldn't want to see other reviewers/patrollers discouraged or attacked. Sorry to bring a bit of drama to your door, but I know you will give a fair assessment of the situation, including the things I could have done differently. If you want me to take the whole thing elsewhere, that's fine too. Cheers. Sulfurboy ( talk) 21:55, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

Draft: R Dub! you rejected the article, and I'm really confused as to why. There are 2 main reasons given for the rejection: lack of neutral / professional tone and lack of independent published sources. Could you tell me what's lacking in the first one? The 2nd one I'm just really confused by, because there are tons and tons of independent sources cited, including newspapers from various locations. Another proofreader previously asked if this person really is notable and deserves an article, so I was told to add awards proving notoriety (which I did) and to cite articles proving notoriety (which I mentioned on that proofreader's talk page and added as a note on the draft article). Could you clue me in? I'm just baffled at this point, because the article follows an exact format that I copied from other radio DJs who have articles, so if theirs are good enough, and this article follows the exact same style and format, I don't get why those are published and this one isn't. Glad for any pointers. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Smithryanallen ( talk • contribs) 14:55, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

Draft: Rocco Lupoi You claimed a personal opinion that the article was: "This is a promotional press release, not an encyclopedia article." Which is not based on any more explanation. This appears to be a poor justification, as the article entirely relies on external primary and secondary sources that are suitable to the "reliability" policy of wikipedia i.e. Reputable Newspapers and Media; and Academic Research Papers. Secondly on the lack of neutrality in the tone of some phrases, as it was outlined back in december by Taewangkorea, this has been corrected and rectified, to match the neutral tone standard of wikipedia. As such there is no evidence of "promotion" apart from your personal, perhaps biased judgement. I would appreciate the opinion of another Wikipedia Editor.

Since I am able to see pages for much smaller (and lesser known) companies in India, I'm guessing the page removal was more to do with the content style than the brand's notability.

Hello David Goodman! My draft article: Robam Kenorei was declined earlier! These few days I have edited and added some information to the draft article. The reference for this dance is very rare, I could find only a few on internet! I did my best seeking help from others as well! This dance was almost vanished during the Cambodian civil war. I believed creating the article about this dance will allow others who have access to its sources to edit it! I need somebody to improve it as well but I dont know where we can get help for this draft article! This draft article will be a new article with the title "Robam" of the Royal Ballet of Cambodia like other articles such as Robam Tep Apsara (now Apsara Dance), Robam Sovann Maccha, Robam Moni Mekhala,...

Hi DGG,
I saw your note about the Beyond Better Foods article, and am confused. What was on it that made it seem promotional?
Most of the articles are direct references to the existence of the company and the product, with the primary article, being a full page feature in the New York Times, goes into detailed length about the formation of the company.
The article that you referred to, the USA Today article, was listed (and ultimately summarized in a non-promotional way) with 9 other articles, merely to give an example that the products of this company have covered extensively in major outlets with extensive reach over a long period of time, which they indeed have. Would it help to remove the sentence though (although it feels relevant to establish the impact that the products that beyond better foods have had in the market)?
If you could help provide this clarification, that would be great and allow me to correct this. It seems that a major company such as this, that is available around the country and has multiple products, should be here. I see other similar companies, like Halo Top Creamery (there's a full list here: /info/en/?search=List_of_ice_cream_brands) all have pages.
Also I might add that this page also lists major legal controversy (which I thought was also relevant) to illustrate neutrality as well.
Thanks again for your help - these comments are in earnest and looking to find a way to improve this. Came across this while reading Lisa Lillien's page and thought there should be a connection.
Best!

Hi User:DGG,
I"m really trying here to get this article up to snuff. What do I need to do? I tried providing a number of articles that list dietitians and certified individuals from NUMEROUS outlets, providing plaudits and listings for this company and its products. What am I missing here? Now I'm being told it reads like a press release. I feel like every time I'm moving forward its actually two steps back.
I feel like this is hopeless and yet so clearly should be something that should be here. Is there someone that can just go through and edit it as it needs, or give some kind of guidance? I'm unable to find articles that read well that I can model for a similar product or company.
Please help :/

Hello DGG, I really appreciate your page where you explain your view of the universe. A great read. If you could help me restore all the hard work I did and help me get on a path to do it properly, I would be most grateful. I think it would also help a great many people. Jerrold's death is a big loss to many as I anticipated it would be.
I will leave the explanation for my appeal that I wrote for the speedy deletion. Please note that after I wrote that I added some citations from the New York Times (which I planned to do all along) to bolster my case. But alas, the initial article was gone when I returned a few hours later. If you could please help me get it back, I think it would be just.
If I have to start it somewhere else, like my sandbox, subject to approval, I will do so. But I'd love to retrieve my work thus far.
Here was my appeal:
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... this person died 4/4/2020 from the Covid-19 virus. He is the author of 30 books, both fiction and non-fiction and has been an editor at The New York Times. He is a member of the Authors Guild, PEN American Center, and Poets & Writers, is listed in Contemporary Authors and the Directory of American Poets & Fiction Writers.
I was surprised to find there was no Wikipedia page on him so I created one. I am sure other writers and publishers will be interested in his passing and will be willing to help with this page if more needs to be added to it. At the present time I was just trying to create a factual page about a genuine important person with a writing career that spans over 40 years. Please let me know what I can do to improve this article. I was not trying to be overly promotional, just to state his importance as a public figure. His book HOW TO GET OUT OF DEBT, STAY OUT OF DEBT & LIVE PROSPEROUSLY has helped literally tens of thousands of people all over the world and is an important text in the 12 step worlds of Debtors Anonymous and Underearners Anonymous. Furthermore, the current economic crisis is sure to being more people to these 12 step fellowships for help.
I would be happy to do more research and/or make any changes or eliminate any sentences or paragraphs or citations that appear to be promotional that you deem necessary to being this article up to your standards. I was just trying to make a first pass at creating a summary of this man's importance to the world. Like I said, I was very surprised that he was not already listed in Wikipedia. Thank you for seriously considering this. I am sure many people will be looking for this article in the days to come as news of his death becomes more well known.
I realize now perhaps I should have put it in my sandbox and begun it that way. Whatever could happen to set things right, I am willing to do it to get this article up. Jerrold Mundis helped thousands of people, died Saturday of the Covid-19 virus and I would put him in the category of a professor that you cited in your DGG page. I loved what you wrote there and though he was not a professor, he had a 40 year career as a published writer and deserves to be on Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iochone ( talk • contribs) 13:30, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I was recently rejected the article for Heal(2017 documentary film) and I was wondering what sections were deemed as advertisement. I included biographical data of the individuals of the film and the purpose for their appearance in the film, overall summary of the film, background on mind-body medicine, and the few accolades it has received. As for the lack of notability reason, I believe the film is sufficient for its own article as it is widely available through Netflix. Overall, I believe my tone was neutral and so any detailed feedback would be appreciated. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CaMenendez ( talk • contribs) 18:33, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
Hi DGG, Thank you for the response, it cleared many of my questions. I plan on removing many of the biographies of the individuals that already have one like you mentioned. I found a couple of reviews of the film such as https://slate.com/technology/2018/01/documentary-heal-makes-important-points-about-positivity.html , https://www.filminquiry.com/heal-2017-review/ and https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/heal-1052491 among others. Perhaps I can include these reviews in a "Reception" section to address the notability and third-party issue. To answer your question, my course instructor gave the "OK" for the film. Please let me know if this is a good method to proceed. CaMenendez
I have just made the necessary edits to the article as you suggested. I do agree that it seems to be a stronger and well-balanced article now after your suggestions, so thank you for that.

Hi David. Thank you for taking your time to review my edit. I do see why somebody might consider the article to be non-notable enough, I guess that is subjective. The reason for writing here is to check whether you declined the page because you suspected it to be spam / written with commercial or such intentions. As I understand you deal with such spam regularly. I just want to state that my submission was not intended as spam or with commercial intentions. This is my first WP article and this took me quite some time to write and collect the references based on the feedback of Liance. I do think the quality of WP comes first, but just want to make sure it was not rejected because of some misunderstanding of the intentions for posting. The reason for posting was because it took me quite some time to figure out why it was so difficult to find a version of an VCE file that would open with an older version of the VCE Exam Simulator. While this product seems the only actually used product in this market of exam simulators it is hard to find independent information on the subject. I looked on WP because I hoped to find more on it here. Since nothing was here I hoped to facilitate by publishing the little that I do have reliable / independent information of. This might make it easier for others to add to in the future. Please let me know if this might change your POV on the submission and if there is anything else I can do to preserve this information.

== Question on citations ==
Hey DGG, First of all, thanks for reviewing my article that was submitted for creation! It is reassuring to know others take the time to ensure that shared knowledge is of good quality.
Now, as for my question I'd like to say that I am fairly new to writing Wikipedia articles. In fact, the draft about Text World Theory is my first serious article that I would love to see published. The theory itself is of course not my original research. I just read the book for a University class, saw that it had no Wikipedia page and wanted to share it for others to see.
You commented that it seemed notable, but that it needed additional references to see where the statements came from exactly. Since I am new to this and I cannot really claim that I am a complete expert on the topic myself, I heavily relied on the book that introduced the theory for students like me, plus additional sources that work with the same concepts or use the theory in a different context. Consequently, I could reference nearly every sentence to a certain passage in one of the books that I used. However, it seems to me that that would both be unnecessary as it is clear that the article is based on these books or peer-reviewed articles, as well as that it would make the entire article less enjoyable to read with this immense amount of little blue numbers.
So my question is, when can it be said that the amount of references suffices? The guidelines that I have seen on this aren't clear enough for me, so I turn to an experienced editor for help.
Thanks in advance! I will continue to work on it, but I would love to hear your tips. Owndifiction ( talk) 15:00, 15 April 2020 (UTC)Owndifiction

I apologize if I am reaching out incorrectly or if this is not a matter for the talk page, as I am unfamiliar with Wikipedia. I am the person who proposed deleting the
/info/en/?search=Brewbaker_v._Regents page. Thank you for your response to my proposed deletion. I did find a third party source on the case, a book titled The Law of Higher Education, sixth edition, student version, and cites the case for the proposition that an administrative school disciplinary matter held after a criminal prosecution for the same conduct does not violate the Double Jeopardy Clause. Does this make the case notable with respect to Wikipedia? I would volunteer to try re-writing the page to focus on its legal notability in order to remove the strange interpretation that the original author of the page, who was the plaintiff in the case, included in the article. However, I am a lawyer who represents a party who the plaintiff of this case is suing in another, unrelated matter. I discovered this article while researching the plaintiff and assumed that Wikipedia would not want off-base legal interpretations in articles written by the losing plaintiff. I believe it would be just as improper for me to write about the case given my adversarial posture to the plaintiff as it was for the original plaintiff to use Wikipedia as a place to vent about having lost the case. I would certainly try to be neutral, but the article would be better written by an expert in law (probably a lawyer or paralegal) who is not connected to the case or the parties involved in it in any way.
I am not sure how to propose that the article be rewritten, so I am leaving this note on your talk page in case you take an interest and are able to take steps to have the article be rewritten.

Greetings!<
Wikipedia has an unusually robust amount of content devoted to personal information management (PIM) software. This content is useful for people trying to find the right software for their needs in a category that is flush with software titles. I realize Wikipedia may not be right place for this content, but it has been allowed to flourish here, and it now serves as a useful though incomplete reference source.
Among the useful resources is the List of personal information managers which features a table showing software specifications and in most cases a link to the Wikipedia article for each software title. Some Wikipedia articles listed in the table:
Personal Knowbase
MyInfo
Whizfolders
Calendar
I attempted to add a personal information manager (Zoot) to this collection, but the article is getting rejected with the following explanation:
This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article — that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.
Among the secondary sources listed for Zoot is a full length piece in Atlantic Magazine written by James Fallows. I would think that would qualify as published, reliable and independent of the subject.
But to the larger point: while I can't argue whether or not articles about software titles belong on Wikipedia, they have nevertheless found a place here, and it seems to me that this area of Wikipedia should either be allowed to flourish or it should be removed in its entirety. If the content cannot be expanded and improved then it will exist merely as a flawed and incomplete reference.

Thanks for your efforts on Wikipedia in general, and this submission in particular. I am new at this, so bear with me. By the way, I loved this passage in your own bio. Good advice!
In the period after the February Revolution had overthrown the Tsar, when the Bolsheviks were a very small minority, Lenin's slogan was "patiently explain", as he urged the policy of talking to workers and soldiers individually to convince them of the validity of the party's program. Most of his colleagues wanted either to compromise with the more moderate politicians, in which case they would have been quickly swallowed up by their opponents, or go out immediately on the streets, where they would have been destroyed immediately. Lenin and his co-workers continued persuading until they were a majority in the key places--the forces of soldiers and sailors who would have been sent to suppress them. That's when they went out on the streets, in October, and they succeeded immediately. DGG (talk) 19:50, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
Regarding the submission on Steve Kropper, I created the entry because he is besieged every week with people asking for help. If they know what he is about they will be better prepared and not waste time with the wrong approach or about approaching the wrong person. So I looked at a few dozen pages for people who have done similar work in energy, telecom and public policy. I looked at the Wikipedia guidelines, endeavored to fit them, and to tell a story that was well documented. The guy is a pioneer in energy conservation in buildings, telecom, public safety and has spent his life with an undercurrent of public service. The entry is not an advertisement as he has no upside from helping young people these days as they come to him with seeking career or political advice.
So I felt that your critique was unfair and need advice on how to help this public figure present himself so people take advantage of him in a good way. [[User:CharlesMerrimack|CharlesMerrimack] 15:49, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I wanted to request more information about the article I wrote on International Swan Day. Is there anything in particular you would need from me before you considered the coverage to be more appropriate to an encyclopedia article than a press release? The organization has been covered in a range of periodicals, as I demonstrated through citations; let me know if you need more evidence on that point.

Hello there! I am a film critic who has attended SWAN Day events, not a SWAN Day organizer. I am paid for my work as a film critic by the websites I work with, but I am not paid by or affiliated with SWAN Day. I am however passionated about advancing women in the arts. I feel the event is important for both women artists and women audiences.

Dear DGG,
Apologies. I created this page draft ( /info/en/?search=Draft:Udai_Singh_Pawar ) in October and got a comment from Robert McClenon. Unfortunately I did not reply in time, as did not put the time in to understand how to use the talk pages. Then in January you reviewed the page and possibly since there was no response, so you might have declined for that reason. Unless you had some other concerns, those I would be happy to address.
Very sorry for not having replied in time, but finally I used the live chat to understand how to use the talk page - I hope that I have done this correctly - and so I do have a response, below.
I would request you to take a look whenever it may be convenient. Best Regards and apologies for not figuring this out sooner. --

Hi, you tagged Marmol Radziner as {{ advert}}. I did a fairly massive overhaul of the page some years ago to address previously tagged editing issues. I realize that seems positively inclined towards the subject, but that merely reflects the inclination of the sources (if there was any negative reporting, I am sure that I would have found it, and would have also included it). I'm not sure how that issue can be "fixed" without removing or inaccurately reflecting sourced content. Cheers! BD2412 T 00:48, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
Hi DGG, thank you for reviewing our draft article about Weenect. This (hopefully) soon-to-be Wikipedia article is definitely not intended to read like an advertisement. Therefore, we changed the wording to be more objective and informing. Also, the sources have been reviewed and changed where necessary in order to ensure that a good blend of reliable and independent sources is used to support the given information. We hope that the article now qualifies for being published on Wikipedia as a French as well as a German version of the article have already been approved and are online now. Thanks, Affenbrotbaum123.

I am the author of the STEMcoding Project draft page /info/en/?search=Draft:STEMcoding_Project
Recently the page was declined because "no evidence of notability for this basically local project. 2 or 3 articles in educational magazines is not enough for notability."
There are more than a few activities on the page that are outside of Ohio, including, for example, a collaboration with Daniel Shiffman who is a professor at New York University. The article also mentions workshops at national meetings of the American Association of Physics Teachers and connections to a national group the "Partnership for Integrating Computation into Undergraduate Physics". There is also STEMcoding content on hourofcode.com which is an initiative of code.org, which is a national group. I am trying to understand where the "local project" judgement is coming from.

Hi DGG!
Long ago, you nominated Veeam for speedy deletion. You waited maybe two or three days, but no other admin deleted it. So you removed the speedy tag and tried to fix the article.
The article is problematic again now. I've nominated it for speedy deletion again; please feel free to delete it if you'd like.
I think that maybe the article may be a hopeless article about a non-notable company, and that deletion may be the best option. I suppose an okay second-best alternative might be indefinite semi-protection.

In addition, I have made several amendments to make sure that the content is strictly and directly referenced from the independent sources while referencing the practices of other Hong Kong hotels (e.g. Eaton Hotel Hong Kong).

Dear DBB,
You noted on my draft on Buck's Store Museum that "additional citations are needed to show wider notice." I'm thinking of locating more press articles on the store, citing a book that explicitly devotes a section to the store, citing an obituary of its owner, and potentially adding an image of the store once I understand the image rights involved. Of course I understand you cannot prematurely approve an article, but do you think such steps might be sufficient to help move the article to a publishable state?

Dear Sir,
I had a very brief exposure to adding/editing wiki articles during my Ph.D. days at IISc Bangalore. This was somewhere in 2014 when a set of people actively writing wiki articles visited us and organized an edit-a-thon related to 'Indian women scientists'. At that time, I created pages for Dr. Indrani Bose and Dr. Aruna Dhathathreya. However, could not keep up with that due to a hectic lab schedule. But now I would like to resume this activity.
I completed a Ph.D. in Physics in 2018 from IISc Bangalore. I am interested in adding content on Indian Women Scientists, Indian Women Engineers, Indian Women Educationists, Indian Women Administrators. Can you guide me on how can I contribute to wiki contents? Can I come up with a list of potential people to be added? I would like to start with Prof. Mini Shaji Thomas. Kindly advice.
Thank you.
OK: First of all, edit under the same user name as you did before. If you no when you have the password you can request another one since your email is activated. If you don't want to do that link from your new user page to your old one Then pick the most prominent people possible who will be considered notable under our rules for WP: PROF. One way to do that is to look for people who hold an honorary named professorship because they are always considered notable. Also anyone who has ever been head of the University which in India is probably usually named vice chancellor is also considered notable., but When you write the article , write it as objectively as possible not like a profile on a university website . Give the place of birth and the education and positions held with dates do not discuss family or hobbies, find the three or four most cited papers & list them in full bibliographic format giving the citation numbers from Google scholar. Before you do this go back to the articles you already wrote and add in the necessary information and remove excessive personal material. DGG ( talk ) 19:50, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
As for Mini Shaji Thomas, she is probably qualified as director of NIT Tiruchirappalli, but a Google scholar citation figures are very low--she seems to have been primarily an administrator. DGG ( talk ) 19:57, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

Bexar County is one of the larges counties in Texas. The local administrative judge has, in the time of COVID-19 been making unprecedented decisions regarding court access and jury trials. This has been the subject of much press coverage, some of which I included in the article.

Dear DGG, This is the second article of mine that you have declined. The first was about Katya Cengel (a female author from the biographies needing done list). I re-wrote that article but it has not yet been re-reviewed. So I wanted to work on a new one, I thought I would try a different type of person, so a man from s technologies list. I thought I did what you had instructed. I used all very known reliable outside resources. I wrote about him and not his accolades. I am confused as to what I am doing wrong. Can you please help me understand what the problem is?
In general, taking topics from the list of desired articles needs to be done carefully--anyone may place a topic there. Since PR writers know that if they write the WP articles directly, they will find the articles rejected and be banned as undeclared paid editors, this has become a common trick for inducing good-faith wikipedians to do the work for free. But the results are indistinguishable from paid editing. The best way of finding topics is list prepared for editathons, or based on genuine news accounts that you see yourself. Before you start, make sure you have at least 2, and better 3, excellent reliable independent sources from books by major publishers or major magazines or newspapers with national coverage. You will also find list of desired articles at the various Wikiproject pages. DGG ( talk ) 23:44, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
Cengal may be notable , but the article didn't show it, and neither does your revision. Notability for a reporter is very difficult to demonstrate unless they win an individual pulitzer or something equally important. Notability for an author is much easier--it depends on the reviews, and the first indication of whether there are likely to be substantial reviews in third-party published independent reliable sources, not press releases, blurbs, blogs, Amazon, or Goodreads The article didn't give it , but I should have looked further. The books are mostly from University of Nebraska Press, or one of its subimprints, which is a very good sign. I shall now add this information to the article. The place to find the information is WorldCat. Of the places where you took the reviews. none is a major publication, such as the NYT book review. Pacific Standard is an online environmental magazine, and is the best of them--see our article on it--not that despite what our article says, it is still active--I shall have to update it . NY Journal of books is of undetermined reliability(--it is not New York Review of Books, a magazine of very high prestige. ). Judging by its Web site [13]. we need an article on it. The article needs to focus on her as an author, not a journalist. To some degree, the number of copies of books in worldcat libraries can indicate significance, tho its not a formal criterion for notability . I made a start at that, and accepted it. You will find listings for additional reviews of her books in Worldcat, and there is some material to find a reference for. And check the exact name of the field in which she received a degree.

Hi DGG,
You have reviewed my article about Gig Perfofmer:
/info/en/?search=Draft:Gig_Performer
I'm sorry to hear you rejected it. Another Wikipedia reviewer Timtrent and I put some effort to review my draft together, section by section, sentence by sentence and improve it (for which I'm very, very grateful to Timtrent - he's a really kind person). I'm sorry to hear that these few sentences still look like an advertisement; I created this draft based on similar applications like Mainstage or GuitarRig. I wanted to keep that style, short and informative.
Timtrent and I also reviewed my references so they meet Wikipedia reliability standards, and the corrected version seemed OK to both of us. I was hoping that someone will review my draft and accept it.
Can you please take another look on this draft and give me suggestions what else to do so it finally gets approved? This is my first Wikipedia article, and I really want to to anything to improve it so it finally gets accepted. Thank you very much for your feedback.

Hi DGG,
I am not in the staff of indiexpo company. It is a community that helps indie game developers and I am a young game developer. I am totally new on wikipedia. I started creating that page because I see other pages on wikipedia about gamejolt and itch (platforms similar to indiexpo) and I was thinking that it was a good idea to start with a page about it. Just it. I contacted few time ago the staff of the website for more news to add but it is not a press release (you can check on internet, it is totally new). And I see that also other fans of this services were editing it. I hope to be clear! If you have any questions, I am here!
Thanks again, and happy editing!

Either the Twinkle deletion process is broken, or you've missed a step in a couple of recent nominations for deletion. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2020 September 11, and between the entries for Miller, California and Sheep Springs, California you've added two redlinks which need to be created with a deletion rationale.- gadfium 04:49, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I'm wanting advice on an article I am trying to publish which you rejected: Draft:Robin Friend . You stated that it's "not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia." I have had a look at the notability page and also the specific part of what constitutes a "creative professional" and I personally still don't see why it was rejected. Please could you shed some light on why you deemed Robon Friend not notable enough. Thanks.
So to your first point, Robin Friend has work in the permeant collection of the Martin Parr Foundation. Martin Parr started this up to collect and preserve “significant photographic works” focused on the British Isles. In terms of reliable sources and press releases, to name a few, but I have referenced It’s Nice That, British Journal of Photography, The Guardian, Cultural Bulletin, Huck. All of these are very well recognised and established and have written extensive articles on Friend. And to your final point, this is the first time I’m hearing of anything to do with the notability of Robin Friend as a reason for the article being declined, the previous times were for lack of references. As a final point to back up Robin Friend's notability, he has shown work in numerous solo and group exhibitions worldwide.
Thank you for reconsidering and taking back your rejection. What happens now? Do I need to do anyhting or do I just wait for it to be reviewed again?
I wish more people thought like you. I feel like you understand what Wikipedia's true intentions were and over the years people have been making up their own rules in order to feel a sense of entitlement. I would appreciate if you could look at my draft of the short web series "Becoming Jiff". Thank you. Drwho92 ( talk) 06:20, 15 September 2020 (UTC) |
Recently, you rejected a draft page at Articles for Creation about Diet Doctor [14]. I'd really be interested in hearing if you have any more feedback as to why the page wasn’t accepted or any tips for how I can improve it. I really didn’t think the content was an advert – it even contains some criticisms – and the cited sources explain the website is one of the largest keto websites there is. The template decline merely provides a series of generic rationales for declining. AnnaHecht1993 ( talk) 15:13, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

Hello DDG. I've noticed that you set Olimex to being protected from creation due to copyright violations after a couple of incidents. That's understandable at the time, but it seems a bit odd now that it's effectively banned indefinitely due to something that happened over four years ago! I've created what I think is a reasonable initial article at Draft:Olimex. Would it be possible to remove the protection so it could be published? Note that I have absolutely no connection to Olimex and the new article draft contains no copied copyrighted text. Thanks - odg ( talk) 23:04, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for reviewing this Wikipedia page! I would like to point out that Tessie San Martin is the President and CEO of the U.S. office of a Billion dollar a year organization, impacting the lives of more than 20 million girls over the past decade. She leads the largest nonprofit in the state of Rhode Island. In this capacity, Tessie is a frequent speaker at events and is regularly quoted as an expert in the international development field in the media. She has made significant contributions to the field of modernizing U.S. government foreign assistance. Her counterparts include Carolyn Miles, CEO of Save the Children; Michelle Nunn, CEO of Care; and David Millibrand, CEO of the International Rescue Committee, all of whom have Wikipedia pages. I respectively ask that you reconsider Tessie’s relevance as a public figure.

It looks like there was en edit-conflict in the AFC flow for this article. User:Sulfurboy accepted it, moving it to mainspace John William Helton, and leaving a redirect at the Draft: original location. You tried to decline the draft, but wound up doing so on that redirect.

Sir, I am an employee of the organization named Crowdera. It is a six year old crowdfunding platform. We have tried to create an article back in 2016 but due to not being aware of the policies of Wikipedia, the article violated several rules and was deleted. By this time, the company have become well known. There are a lot of references about the company in independent sources as Wikipedia policy says. So possibly the company is now notable against the yardstick of Wikipedia. If the previous creations have caused annoyance, I sincerely apologize for that and earnestly request you to kindly consider allowing the recreation of the article in present situation. I have a small draft with me which I have written at the time following all the guidelines of Wikipedia like neutral point of view, stating facts etc to best of my ability. I would request you if you kindly see the draft article. I have already disclosed the Conflict of Interest as I have a relationship with the organization. I am creating the draft in the name of Crowdera Crowdfunding ( /info/en/?search=Draft:Crowdera_Crowdfunding) as I can't create in the name of Crowdera.

09:59, 25 August 2020 DGG talk contribs deleted page Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen & Loewy (G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion)
We were hoping to get the page re-instated and also get the link put back into this page: /info/en/?search=List_of_largest_law_firms_by_revenue
I would be really happy to discuss and can work on any edits required in order to remove the text that is advertising the firm. I have created a profile for editing and can do this asap.
Please let me know next steps and how I can help to get this page back online as my firm values the unbiased integrity of wikipedia and feel we are at a loss without a presence on the tool.

I saw that you nominated a page I recently created, Hydro Flask, for speedy deletion. I am quite confident that the page need not be deleted and I have contested it as prompted, but I thought I would attach my response here as well for you to see.
Honestly, I struggle to understand why this page has been nominated for speedy deletion. First of all, I have no connection to this company--I do not even use their products nor do I want to. Every single statement I made in this article is supported by at least one independent, reliable source, with the exception of Hydro Flask's tagline, which is supported by their website. This company is undoubtedly notable, as evidenced by the coverage of it which can be found in my references. The only thing I can think of is that this is about the beginning of the article mentioning the popularity and quality, but that too is supported by reliable sources and is not my attempt to make their brand sound cool.
Los Angeles Times: "Now we’re in the era of must-have water bottle." "A Hydro Flask has become the kind of gift that can send a tween into paroxysms of joy." How it distinguished itself from any other bottle at sporting goods stores and became a hot fashion accessory is a story about the convergence of several cultural threads: anxiety about the environment, a surge in attention to self-care and wellness, and the simple desire to keep hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold."
CNN: "The Hydro Flask craze is in full swing. It seems wherever you go, there’s someone smugly drinking ice-cold water from a colorful metal water bottle while side-eyeing the disposable plastic bottle in your hand." "Hydro Flask has recently found broader popularity among millennials, Gen Zers and VSCO girls alike." "There are real, tangible reasons people are going crazy for these bottles." (goes into much more detail on this).
USA Today: (This one is not the subject of the article but it still attests to the popularity) "When we tested water bottles this year, the Hydro Flask was one of our favorites. Not only is it a fantastic water bottle, but it is also extremely trendy."

Hi, you said this article is "basically advertising for a non-notable individual." But he is as equally notable as any other CEO of a fitness brand. SoulCycle, Flywheel, etc.--those founders/CEOs all have individual Wikipedia pages. And I don't understand how it's advertising. The text doesn't go into detail about the company he runs/the services it offers. It's just the bare facts about his background and career. What can be done to fix it? Thanks

... There are many hundred thousand articles in WP accepted in earlier years when the standards were lower that we need to either upgrade or remove. The least we can do is not add to them. Looking at the draft you wrote, a Wikipedia article must have substantial 3rd party reliable published sources, not blogs or postings or mere notices . None of your references meet this test--even the NYTimes ref is a mere mention in a list of dozens of different transactions, bizjournals is a place for distributing press releases, the retailwire interview is a platform for Dougherty to say whatever he cares to & is therefore not independent, the award is not an award but only an honorable mention, and Dougherty wrote the other 2 himself. and, Since this is your only contribution, and since it is written in the format of a press release, it is reasonable to ask whether you are a connected contributor, in which case you must declare the connection.

The Management section of the page previously listed the names of most Management members, which I agree, is not necessary but we would like to retain the names of Vice President, Secretary General and Honorary President because of the increasingly important role they play in the Academy which is a non profit organisation that addresses world problems. Not as a form of self promotion or anything, just to make them get the recognition they deserve. But I recently checked the page and found some names missing and that's how I came here.
Having said that, please, I would like to the rationale behind your deleting the names. Is the norm usually to include just the names of President and Chair? Thank you so much in advance.

Hi DGG, I'm still trying to learn how to communicate on Wikipedia, so I'm not sure I'm supposed to respond to our conversation on your talk page or mine -- I appreciate your patience! I did want to follow up on my request to see if you would be able to restore the draft I started for my company, Endeavor Business Media, as I am attempting to create a Wikipedia page. I declared a conflict of interest on my user page, so I'm ready to get started. Here is the rest of our conversation on the topic, copied from my talk page (apologies if this duplicates work):
The first step is to declare the conflict of interest on your user page, which is User: Abigail Christine. You say you work for the company, ans if your job is to write PR for them or anything similar, say so. The second step is to write a factual acrticle in draft space. On that article's talk page, say again that you havea conflict of interest.

Hello DGG,
Thank you for reviewing
Enlabs draft page couple of months ago. I have now made changes to the draft, removed low-quality and industry-related references and added new references from Reuters, MSN.com and others.
I already
talked about the draft to Cerebellum who also reviewed the draft and seemed to be happy with the changes, but wanted another reviewer to take a look at it for the final call. If you have time, could you please take a look at the draft?

Hi, I have some questions about your comment on my draft for Draft:Cerus_Corporation. Thanks for your time in helping me get it right.
You ask to remove every reference that is a press release. I removed five such references. I believe all the remaining primary source references are strictly focused on very simple datapoints as listed below. Are these press releases acceptable uses for minor claims like these?
The two references that previously said simply from "Associated Press" have been updated to reflect the archived hard copy newspapers where they were published (Gettysburg Times and Tuscaloosa News). Are these consider sufficient news outlets to keep these references? If not, is there a documented definition in Wikipedia that separates a "major" newspaper from the others?
I am still working on addressing Nightenbelle's concern about REFBOMB. To be fair, all the refs are at then end of each passage, and each passsage uses all the assigned refs. I am trying to be careful and thorough because medical topics have a higher bar. I would like to continue culling refs but I really need to know which remaining refs are completely barred versus which refs are simply raising an eyebrow -- it might be the latter refs are underpinning only minor additions where I could not find those additions in any other medical journal. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Frazierjason ( talk • contribs) 06:12, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
Thanks for reviewing. Draft:Emily Tamkin
First, neither I nor the author are the subject of the article nor do we know her — you suspected that it was written by the subject. Solved.
Second, you found the article to be promotional in nature. I deleted some parts, added others, and re-arranged it. The text had a bit of a light tone which I also thought was unsuitable so amended that. Can I include these two sentences? They are a little lighthearted, but notable sources and informative, what do you think?
She learned Yiddish during the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] https://www.newstatesman.com/international/2020/06/learning-yiddish-language-pandemic-classes-lockdown
Tamkin has a dog named Shiloh who occasionally makes interview appearances. As of 2019, she had a boyfriend.[11] https://www.cjr.org/first_person/diary-laid-off-buzzfeed-reporter.php

Some have been bent on getting Mr. Ravi IPS's page deleted. they have belittled all his achievements. they also mentioned the award seems to be awarded at least in part merely for long routine service. Then why do we have a wikipedia page for the award alone?
/info/en/?search=President%27s_Police_Medal - This award page that we are talking about interestingly has Mr. Ravi's name mentioned under the state of Tamilnadu.
Citations - Articles and news have mentioned him as the ADGP and not Ravi.

DGG, I see the Chad Robichaux page has been nominated for deletion. You stated that, "promotional bio. full of puffery and uncited praise. The athletic career does not seem to meet the requirements,and there is nothing else substantial. I would not have accepted this from AfC."
Thank you for your feedback on the article. I made some edits to the page to remove any puffery. It don't understand, however, your other reasons for this being deleted. Can you help me? As I read the biography for living person page this seems to fall in line with the requirements and the coverage doesn't fall under "routine coverage" as described.

Back in the day (Nov. 2013), you stated in an AfC comment that the subject is notable and that the page needed cleanup ( diff). So, I cleaned it up and published it in main namespace just now. Feel free to improve the article further. North America 1000 16:19, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
I came across 501 7th Avenue, SeaRise Office Tower, and 111 West 33rd Street and originally thought that it was a paid promotional editor and so put a paid editing notice on the creator's user talk page. Looking a bit closer at the user's created articles, it seems that they might actually be trying to spread information about Qatari owned businesses that have terrorist funding connections, and have created several BLPs/recent deaths that make terrorist funding/terrorism claims too: Ahmed Hikmat Shakir, Ismail al-Salabi, Mohammed bin Hashim al-Awadhy. I'm not sure how great the sourcing is on the BLPs, but given the sensitive nature of the topic and a near laser focus on it, it raised my eyebrows. You deleted Pamodzi Sports Marketing as G11, and since that was the last deletion on the talk page, and I know you have experience with COI type subjects, I thought I would get your thoughts. TonyBallioni ( talk) 23:45, 8 March 2017 (UTC)
Searise & W33rd St are I thing large enough; 7th Ave isn't but it was built by a famous architect. But what we really need is an article for the company that owns them (and the Empire State Building), Empire State Partners (formerly Empire State Realty Trust), which is mentioned in the Empire State building article); it is a NUYSE company and has an interesting history. None of this of course answers the question of whether we should keep articles on notable subjects by undeclared paid promotional editors. I've been arguing that we should not--for those that are so notable as to be essential, someone else can rewrite them -- after a gap, because there is no other way to convince people that it is not helpful to pay for an article. If your suggestion is correct, it's still by a promotional editor, because it's advocacy which is considered as promotionalism , but that isn't considered nough reason for deletion, if the subject is notable just for revision unless it's so bad that revision is hopeless and it falls under G11.
Can you take a look at this please. I've prodded it because I'm sure it's an amalgam of chunks of text text copied from the one source that's used but I don't have the book. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 21:13, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
Kudpng, it cannot simultaneously be OR and copyvio. And if it is not copyvio, then I do not see it as OR, but the summary of information based on a book with other sources used as well.Thestyle, with the long quotations, and the manner of referencing, suggests that it's a term paper. The snippet view is useless, it's from a quotation in the book. I tried other phrases, only ones from the quotation bring up the book. I suspect its in part a paraphrase., at least as far as organization goes. It covers a narrower scope than the current title; I moved it to American Jewish Anti-Bolshevism during the Russian Revolution. I think the way to proceed is to list it at Copyright problems DGG ( talk ) 00:47, 19 May 2017 (UTC)

Dear David. When I first started writing entries you were very helpful and I would like to do the same for new writers on Canadian Art by starting a separate wikiproject or category to the Canadian article page. This would include general information on Canadian notability and key awards, institutions, sources of published articles etc as well as preview on request or review new entries. I – and hopefully others – would add information and rescue those entries with notability or stub tags, but not deletions. Does this sound like a good idea to you and, if so, could I send you my notability criteria who you to have a look at. Best regards, Heather HeatherBlack ( talk) 20:14, 20 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi DGG, Many thanks for your many productive contributions to the Wiki community. I'm a noobie here and am working on my first contribution, Draft:Tennessee Valley Interstellar Workshop (Thanks for the helpful suggestions). I've cited a mix of notable and non-notable sources (more of the latter), since the non-notable citations provide useful information. Does including a large fraction of non-notable citations detract from the article, per Wiki standards? Should I remove the non-notables (almost) completely? I've resubmitted my draft, and it's awaiting review. ~Cheers~ David Fieldsde ( talk) 15:03, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
With respect to Draft:Tennessee Valley Interstellar Workshop: We generally have been relatively reluctant to make articles of series of conferences,or organizations that sponsor them, unless there is very firm 3rd party evidence that they are regarded as the most important one in the subject. The sources in the draft are almost entirely publications by the organization itself or very closely related organizations, and therefore not independent. My role in screening AfCs is not to decide on accepting the article, but to try to estimate whether the community will accept it. The place where that decision is made is in an AfD discussion, and it goes by consensus. The way we do things here, nobody can fully predict the result of such discussions, but on the basis of my experience in many thousands of them, the article is unlikely to be accepted in its current form.

DGG Stop reversing the original "Letters to John Law" citation for the language relating to the duel of John Law and Edward Wilson on the Bloomsbury_Square page. You have clearly lost both your objectivity and credibility as a Wikipedia editor in relation to that edit as you have invented several incorrect reasons to justify your edit: justifications that are simply incorrect and baseless. Firstly, you claim the book is a "self published source" - that is simply incorrect. It is not. It is published by an established independent publisher. Secondly, you claim the book is "almost unknown" - again, that is simply incorrect. It is not: is on the reading list for the history of economics course at MIT ( http://lawandrevolution.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Finance_and_Fraud_Syllabus_3-7-14.pdf). Thirdly, the language stated in the article is taken from the Adams book - it is not from the Gleeson book you seem intent on incorrectly citing for the language from the Adams book, and that is because the Gleeson book does not deal with the duel in anywhere near the same extent as the Adams book. Fourthly, that citation and its corresponding text was inserted on the page in question (not by me - check the history) 5 years ago, and has quite correctly stood as the correct text and correct citation since that time, before you arbitrarily decided to erroneously remove it. Might I suggest you take a step back and attempt to regain some objectivity about that edit as you are damaging both the integrity of the article, and your own integrity as an editor by making inaccurate and unsubstantiated edits and inventing incorrect reasons for making them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Siolio ( talk • contribs) 01:22, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
Hi DGG, my name is Marco Krohn and I am one of the co-founders of "Genesis Mining".

Hi there. I worked very hard on the Livin Lite RV article to source it and be objective. To the extent that it could be perceived to read like an advertisement, that is due to the limited sources that are available (though I don't agree with the advertisement assertion). All content must be verifiable. I've written and edited many Wikipedia articles (not that that makes me any good). In working on this one I looked at other RV manufacturer articles. This new article is one of the best out there. It contains basic facts about the company that are all sourced and verifiable.

It's not enough I don't think to add that fact yet, but as soon as an RV news outlet covers it (as it seems likely that they will) I will add it to the article. I found the company interesting because it appears they produce something unique in the RV industry, which is notorious for poorly built products. I am a huge fan of Airstreams, but in some ways the Livin Lite products seem to be even better built than Airstreams. At any rate, the way they construct their trailers is what got my attention and what got me interested in it.-- Utahredrock ( talk) 04:02, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

A large section of this draft was added by a user (on your suggestion) to the text of Main Library (University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign) but in such a way that no indication of its origin was given and thus no credit was given to the original author(s). That needs to be remedied either through a history merge or through a deletion of all the subsequent revisions of the merge target, removing the copyvio content from the history (otherwise it is only too likely to be restored).
My suggestion would be to (1.) merge the history of Draft:The Rare Book & Manuscript Library with that of The Rare Book & Manuscript Library (University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign), then (2.) delete the copyvio-violating edits from the history of Main Library (University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign). If you still think the latter to be unsuitable for an article of its own, the third and final step step would be to (3.) redirect and re-merge parts of The Rare Book & Manuscript Library (University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign) with The Rare Book & Manuscript Library (University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign) but with an edit comment indicating the origin of the content. -- Hegvald ( talk) 06:04, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
Hi DGG, I hope you’re well. I know it’s been a while since we last spoke, but I’m looking for guidance on conflict resolution, and your name has appeared in a number of places across Wikipedia. You commented on my initial propositions to make changes to David M. Cote three years ago, and weighed in on my ongoing dispute with Philafrenzy not too long after. I recently requested new edits, and Philafrenzy again antagonized me on the sole basis that I am a COI editor. I want to understand what my options are and what best practices would be for resolving this conflict. I previously submitted an RfC, requested a 3O, and submitted an edit request.
I feel that despite my efforts, any propositions I make are viewed with great antagonism, and that my character is attacked rather than the content I’m suggesting. It seems to me that Philafrenzy is being deliberately obstinate (and I’m sure they think the same of me), but it’s difficult for me to continue assuming good faith when they neglect to engage on the talk page and instead edit the article directly, with the recent exception of another personal attack after I made another edit request.
Philafrenzy and I have found common ground before, so I don’t think it’s outside the realm of possibility for us to come to some sort of understanding. Would you agree that mediation is the next step forward? I don’t think we’ve reached the point of arbitration, and I’d like to handle this as diplomatically as possible.-- FacultiesIntact ( talk) 19:32, 5 March 2018 (UTC)
Kesari Tours article has been deleted from Wikipedia because it was repeatedly recreated for promoting Kesari Tours in the past (G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion: G4: Recreation of a page that was deleted per a deletion discussion, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kesari Tours). If you go through the content written by me, I have not mentioned about any awards and achievements of Kesari Tours as mentioned in the past articles. I have completely referred to facts and figures mentioned in the news sites and they don't intend to promote Kesari Tours. I have cross checked the articles mentioned in the past and I completely agree that they were misleading and inappropriate. My objective of creating Kesari Tours on Wikipedia is to lead audience with appropriate facts and figures rather than mislead them. I am quite aware about the guidelines for creating an article on Wikipedia and I have always tried to stick around with the facts. It will be really helpful if you can review the content written by me and further guide me to edit the content which can be further reviewed by you before I upload it on Wikipedia. It will be a learning for an aspiring Wikipedia contributor as well.
I am also putting forward this request because in India many people get their tickets booked from Kesari Tours and we can also add a column of criticism where we can include a couple of fraud cases that customers have faced. At the end of the day, Wikipedia should be able to spread correct information. I am an independent contributor and I don't support any organization. Hence I am not a supporter of Kesari Tours but I want audience in India to be informed about the presence of this firm just like all the other companies. All of my statements are supported by news facts. As said before, I will edit the article as per your guidance and going forward I can keep monitoring the page to avoid addition of any wrong information or promotional content. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gadgetsgigs ( talk • contribs) 09:27, 15 March 2018 (UTC)

DGG, I respect the view your expressed at Nextdoor very much and in the normal course of events, that's ideal. There's a proposal, an independent editor reviews it and says yes or no or asks me to make changes. Maybe there is some discussion or an RfC. It's all pretty straightforward. All I tell people who hire me is that I will try to get them a fair article, stay strictly within WP policy and act ethically above all else. I turn down maybe 4 out of 5 people who ask for help because their requests seem invalid to me. I'm independent - no one can hoist an assignment on me. I come up with my own article language for a proposal, based on what I think is fair and allowable under WP policy, and only have clients do a review for accuracy.
For Nextdoor, I am only hoping for fairness and NPOV from editors who take the time to review all the relevant sources. emark came after a specific matter in question had been decided contrary the editor's position.
Hello DGG, Thank you for reviewing our article as well as the information and guidance you offered. I'm very interested in having the tags removed from the article once it adheres to Wikipedia's guidelines and policies. Please let me know if there is any way I can help speed this process.

do you have specifics contradicting any of the sources? Some of the sources, for example, Strabo, Ptolemy, Livy, Arrian, Thucydides, etc. are used by all modern scholars. The Smith dictionaries are extensively used and followed by others (more modern) such as the Barrington Atlas of the Greek and Roman World and An inventory of archaic and classical poleis. I'd like to know of conflicting information. Carlossuarez46 ( talk) 17:32, 25 August 2018 (UTC)
Hi DGG, I am a paid contributor for Global Wireless Solutions and noticed your edits on the page. I am curious why you categorized the "examples of network benchmark tests" as spam, despite none of them including links to the Global Wireless Solutions webpage? The footnotes were all external news articles and Global Wireless Solutions did not have any influence on them. Please let me know what the problem is for my future understanding. Thank you!

== Sylvia Spring - "deleted self-serving promotional quotes" ==
Hi DGG, I notice that you have edited this article. I have no problem with that, but I do wonder why you described it as "deleting self-serving promotional quotes". I have no connection at all with Sylvia Spring - I had not heard of her before I saw the AfD. I included quotes from her as I thought they were interesting. Perhaps they are not appropriate for the style of Wikipedia - as I have said, I am new here. But they were in no way "self-serving" or "promotional", and your assumption that they were is unfounded, and unnecessary to include in a description of the edits you have done.

Hi! I need help understanding what specific changes I should make to the page in order to meet Wikipedia's guidelines. The reason for your decline stated that it "should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources," and as you'll see, I included 16 entirely independent, highly reputable sources -- none of which included content produced by or for the company. Additionally, when modeling this submission, I took careful pains to ensure it matched the near-exact format of other published Wikipedia pages (such as Rent_the_Runway and Hims,_Inc.). So I'm really unsure as to what I should be editing. The more specific guidance, the better! I welcome any & all feedback. Thank you very much!

Hi DDG
As a Creative professionals, I would like to contest the nomination for speedy deletion, however the page is no longer in existence that I can see.
It was referenced as G11 Unambiguous advertising or promotion. The information was factual and based off a number of external wiki resources as well as internal wiki references. If it was believed the content was not written from a neutral point of view i would have like the opportunity to adjust the text accordingly
According to the List of Policies Criteria for speedy deletion [1] Articles, images, categories etc. may be "speedily deleted" if they clearly fall within certain categories, which generally boil down to pages lacking content, or disruptive pages. Anything potentially controversial should go through the deletion process instead. The content was not lacking or distruptive and would not cause any controversy. The only criteria that the page could have fallen under would be a Proposed deletion of biographies of living people [2]
If you could advise on how i can proceed, as i have been advised by WP:REFUND that i should contact the administrator who carried out the deletion as the page was completely deleted overnight.
If you have any advise on how to improve the page that would be appreciated, as i am new to wikipedia posting any would appreciate any guidance.

Sir, one of contribution made by an user "Abrjestin" in Dr. Shamsheer article is irrelevant. He removed the previous relevant edits made by other user. One of his work is that he removed a preposition "a" before"MBBS"(undergraduate) degree owned by Dr. Shamsheer (in early life paragraph). A silly grammatical error. I have also seen that you had advised him not to make such edits on his talk page but in spite of that he is not paying attention. I also think that the article page should be protected so, that any irrelevant edit should not be done by anyone. It will be very nice if you cross check the article once more. Thanks.

Dear Editor, I found this thought of yours "Furthermore, promotionalism in the world in general, and in Wikipedia in particular, is so pervasive, that even people without a promotional intend tend to write in a promotional manner." I wonder if this is a trap I might be in too. When I saw your comments on Draft:Sergei_Vakarin I thought it was clear what to do and fixed most of the issues you kindly mentioned. I presented the facts and provided references. However, maybe my current style is a reflection of the trend you mention? Your editorial experience (if I could ask for a favour) would help me a lot in improving my style for any further articles I was planning about issues that are currently missing from the Wikipedia. Demetrius Phalerum ( talk) 17:44, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
@ DGG:, the reason I added the WP:PROD tag to the above-captioned redirect pages is that they serve as a redirect to a list of Canadian banks; however, for clarity and information purposes, they're listed as redlinked names in the Template:Canadian banks pages (should anyone ultimately decide to create a page, and so people know they exist). Thus, clicking on that link in that footer box takes the user to yet another list making for a de-facto double redirect. If you'd let me put back on the WP:PROD tag, that'd be appreciated as my concern is the RfD deletion process doesn't have a high success rate. Doug Mehus ( talk) 03:48, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

Hello User:DGG, It was great meeting you at WikiConference North America this year! Relating to the conversation we had, I decided to do a bit of digging, to give a bit more of a colorful idea behind the idea of geographies as a spacial marker for varied economic realities as used in the roundtable we shared in. I noted your preference for this term as opposed to (the oft-used) unnuanced hemispheric divisions for discussions relating to global issues surrounding economics, human development, and access.
The term (in this context) is a multidisciplinary approach to identifying and appealing to a more politically correct & comprehensive view of varying realities with an eye for establishing a distancing from implicit political & racial biases. It achieves this through the intentional exclusion of the terms "North" and "South"; cited as sources of the aforementioned implicit bias(es). Moreover, authors like Ahlberg et. al speak of the 'biases' resulting from;
...the shift from an explicitly racial system of stratification for example, based on colonialism, segregation and apartheid, to a system of racial hegemony.
— Ahlberg et. al, https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsoc.2019.00061/full
I would love to delve much further into the idea with you perhaps, at your convenience, either in a presentation or even a paper if you'd like.
Let's keep the conversation going.

Dear DGG,
Thanks for taking so much time and energy ensuring the quality of Wikipedia.
I am writing on behalf of a student of mine who conducted some research on the Cherokee Files (formerly classified correspondence between the U.S. and the Republic of Korea during the critical 1979-1980 period). Together we determined that putting some basic information about these documents up on Wikipedia would be a useful service. Hence, his created page: /info/en/?search=Draft:Cherokee_Files.
As we are both neophytes, could you please provide a little more detail as to precisely why the page was declined? The sources used are primarily the actual files themselves. Is there a reason why that is unacceptable? Would the entire entry be more acceptable if he were to rework (or remove entirely) the "Controversy" section?
I hope to be able to use creating Wikipedia pages as a potential student assignment in the future; therefore, the more clarity I can get on what is and is not acceptable will be most appreciated!

Hi DGG -- You and I clearly disagree about quite how promotional articles need to be for G11 to apply. Kaveh Alizadeh appears only very borderline notable and might benefit from a test at AfD.

Hi DGG. Could you please advice about the following? A month ago I created a wiki page 'Lodi ceramics', which you approved. I would now like to edit the page 'Ceramic art', section 'History', subsection 'Europe'. I could add a sentence about Lodi ceramics in the Tin-glazed pottery sub-sub-section, but this sub-sub-section is so short that it would be much better to improve this section about tin-glazed pottery adding details about Italy and the 17th-18th century at least. However I don't have enough knowledge. Adding just a sentence about Lodi ceramics feels like adding a details to a background that is missing. Alternatively, I could add a section at the bottom of the History-Europe section, titled 'Pottery in Italy', and just add the wikilink to Lodi ceramics. Similar sections already exist for Germany, Austria and Russia. What do you advice? Thanks in advance -- Arkie Hodge ( talk) 20:28, 18 January 2020 (UTC)

I know that I've included some listings and links to the books the subject has co-authored with his wife, but I thought they would work as proof alongside the independent articles that have been published about him. Is that not right?
Also, you have asked me to remove the PR articles, but I tried to be careful about not including any press releases, self-written and published articles by the subject, or his own companies' websites. Can you please point out which ones you found to be PR? Perhaps I am not looking at them as I should, but it would be really helpful for this article and the ones I'll write in future.

Hi DGG. I just wrote up a WP:STUB, see Draft:Seven Nations (Bible) because I first tried looking this up on Seven Nations which turns out to be a disambiguation page. So I searched further on WP and found that there is information with citations about these so-called Seven Nations or Tribes to be found in Judaism and war#Wars of extinction in the Tanakh and Jewish responses. However @ Jmertel23: decided to move it off to "draft oblivion" where there is a waiting time of SIX months!
This was totally unfair and in violation of WP:DONOTDEMOLISH because (a) it is just a stub, and stubs are given time, lots of time. (b) It's a topic based on BIBLE verses from the Book of Deuteronomy. (c) I subsequently added two Biblical sources from Deuteronomy Chapter 7 verses 2-3 and Chapter 20 verses 16-18. (d) I am currently editing from my mobile phone which is hard enough but that makes it very difficult to utilize Wikipedia's referencing tools. (e) As an exeperienced WP editor in good standing for over 17 years I am well-aware of WP policies and I certainly qualify as as a WP:EXPERT editor who knows what he is doing. Finally, (f) User:Jmertel should have contacted me on on my talk page instead of coming across as a boderline violater of WP:CIVIL and WP:AGF.

Dear DGG, I politely have to disagree with the judgement of being advertising due to the following reasons:
It is a big problem, that there is hardly any independent information about these devices available on the internet, even though they play a central and important role in the pharmaceutical industry: namely in the purification of Biopharmaceuticals/biologics, which is the fastest growing class of drugs (every second cancer drug is meanwhile a "biologic"). What specific additions would convince you to NOT classify the article as advertising? This question is not rhetoric as I would like to get your honest answer! Notwithstanding now the fact that it is very rudimentary, but that's why Wikipedia exist that the community (including me) can improve on it over the next days, weeks and months.
I started to use the machine when it was introduced to the market (in 1994) had am still using it occasionally today. I have been teaching university courses about its use in protein purification. But again, there is no information about these devices on the internet (except for the vendors own info). The vendor has tried to start some online "community" about five years back, but without success. The device (and also its newer incarnations) is used mostly in proprietary (secretive) environments such as the pharmaceutical industry; maybe that's why these efforts have never taken off.
Thank you for your contribution, but I will try to get this article accepted with all the necessary modifications to fulfill the spirit of Wikipedia. I am just a very occasional contributor to Wikipedia. While the culture of Wikipedia is well know to frequent contributors, it is very different to e.g. the culture that I am used to (i.e. the world of scientific publication).

"Are you realy sure you meant to restore the full to a bio article? DGG ( talk ) 18:19, 11 February 2020 (UTC)"
Actually, not exactly. But I felt it was the best way to respond to your two original edits. So let's discuss.
First, you tagged the entire article with an "advertisement" claim. Then you removed what you believed to be advertisements. But then you left the advertisement tag? I'm sure you understand that looks like trying to have it both ways. If you tag something you see as a problem, then fix the problem, why wouldn't you remove the tag? Or was that simply something you overlooked when you were done?
Second, I also respectfully disagree with you in some other areas as well; and I'm happy to explain those.
1) I honestly haven't ever seen an advertising tag on a BLP before. What "product" do you feel is being advertised? Of course, I would understand if [Tim Cook|Tim Cook's] bio talked too much about the release of the next iPhone. That's a product that's for sale. But that doesn't apply here. So I felt the tag was inappropriate. Of course, I've seen BLPs with the "resume" tag when they're just dry recitations. But that isn't the case here either. And severe edits shouldn't cause it either.
2) I know you'll agree that by definition, a BLP is a biography. So why remove either a relevant WP:RS biographical quote, or an RS quote explaining something noteworthy in the BLP? You also removed half the RS honors and awards in a way that seemed abitrary.
Also I see you've "subsequently" (see what I did there :) made 2 new edits and invited discussion. So let's discuss those.
In your first you removed a quote because you said it was: "unreliable sourced material removed from BLP-- based on hisword only." Are you saying the source was unreliable? Because the RS was a university website. If you're saying that he himself is unreliable because it was "his word only," I believe that's acceptable ( WP:BLPSELFPUB) for a brief but relevant quote about his own upbringing. There are also separate RS in the paragraph right before it, (which you also wanted to remove). There are RS links to 2 of his siblings and they both confirmed his quote on the university website.
And in your last you removed what you called an advert.
I'm always happy to collaborate and compromise. So let's try:
1) I agree we remove the last quote you took out. It's 2 sentences, but if you feel strongly then fine. In return, I'd like to keep his quote. I think it's interesting and important. I'll include it's from an interview, so it's not like he's just waxing nostalgic.
2) I also agree the daughters ref can be trimmed. Just listing their names is fine. I've already done that.
3) I think the list of Honors should remain intact because it's consistent with other university president BLPs, which list either honors or publications a bit, but not both. Like here, here, here, or here.
That covers it, I think. If you have anything else, let me know. Otherwise, agreed? X4n6 ( talk) 22:39, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
Dear DGG, I politely have to disagree with the judgement of being advertising due to the following reasons:
It is a big problem, that there is hardly any independent information about these devices available on the internet, even though they play a central and important role in the pharmaceutical industry: namely in the purification of Biopharmaceuticals/biologics, which is the fastest growing class of drugs (every second cancer drug is meanwhile a "biologic"). What specific additions would convince you to NOT classify the article as advertising? This question is not rhetoric as I would like to get your honest answer! Notwithstanding now the fact that it is very rudimentary, but that's why Wikipedia exist that the community (including me) can improve on it over the next days, weeks and months.
I started to use the machine when it was introduced to the market (in 1994) had am still using it occasionally today. I have been teaching university courses about its use in protein purification. But again, there is no information about these devices on the internet (except for the vendors own info). The vendor has tried to start some online "community" about five years back, but without success. The device (and also its newer incarnations) is used mostly in proprietary (secretive) environments such as the pharmaceutical industry; maybe that's why these efforts have never taken off.
Thank you for your contribution, but I will try to get this article accepted with all the necessary modifications to fulfill the spirit of Wikipedia. I am just a very occasional contributor to Wikipedia. While the culture of Wikipedia is well know to frequent contributors, it is very different to e.g. the culture that I am used to (i.e. the world of scientific publication).

Hello, Thank you very much for reviewing my draft article and I certainly appreciate the opinion of an expert Wikieditor. Just for the record, I'm neither working nor connected to TAP DMV and its employees.
May I ask what are the things that should be changed on the draft article? If there is a need for citation on the information, particularly on each of the channels, I have DVR recordings to show as a proof.
Also, If my Wikipedia article has not been approved, then why is the TAP Sports article, which contains far less details and contains only one reference, has been approved?
Hoping to hear your response. Thanks!

thanks for your comment just now at Wikipedia:Miscellany_for_deletion/User:Brianboulton/drafts#User:Brianboulton/drafts. I cannot understand what is going on there. I just posted a link to the page in question. I have now successfully provided fully labeled redirects pointing to each of the drafts left by this user. Also, I created a sub-directory for all such drafts, so that any editor at all can get a comprehensive list of the full set of drafts, merely by using this template.
furthermore, I made the sub-page as a sub-page for the page for all deceased Wikipedians; in other words, any other such drafts can be added to the same sub-directory, so it will be easier for such editing efforts to proceed, since we have one centralized location to view them.
can you please go back and respond to the editor there who just replied? he linked to a past version of that page, instead of the current version which I had already updated. please feel free to follow both links, and then to reply. you are welcome to reply or to contact me any time. thanks!! -- Sm8900 ( talk) 04:17, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

Hi DDG,
Thank you for reviewing - Draft:Airoll (Vehicle). As per your comments some sections have been reworded as to avoid paraphrasing and an etymology section has been added to discuss the naming of the vehicle. Please let me know if any other changes are needed. *******
Wikimedia received a request to delete a draft article ticket:2019122210000089 the relevant draft is Draft:Joseph G. Sorokin.
At the time of the request, the draft had not been edited in just short of six months. I responded to them that it would likely be automatically deleted in a few days. However, you edited the article in the interim resetting the six-month clock.
While they were willing to accept a few days delay, my guess is they won't be happy to hear that it will take at least another six months.
Do you have any particular thoughts?

Hey, DGG. I am following up on edits to the draft Granite_Telecommunications (see "Perplexed" above). We discussed the needed changes in December and I made the edits you requested at the time. Since the volume of interaction with you and the community is significant, I've quietly watching for updates. But now that we're coming up on a couple of months since the edits were made, I figure I should squeak, so I'm checking in to see if there's anything else I need to do. Also, I do plan to help with other business pages as you indicated is needed (especially since everyone's doing what I did -- make a page that looks like the other pages). In fact, I had been actively editing a range of content over the latter part of last year. But I held back since I wasn't looking for the things that you have pointed out to me here. I'll pick that back up when I see how this page nets out and I am confident that I'm not just replacing one bad edit with another... Thanks. Technutt ( talk) 19:42, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

Sorry to pester you for a second review, but I am anxious to confirm whether or not I'm on the right track with this entry. I would very much appreciate it if you could take a few minutes to give my entry on Noma Copley another look. She has for too long been in the shadow of her former husband, William Copley, whose Wiki entry contributes, in my opinion, to her marginalization. I'm looking forward to being able to add a link to that Wiki page that enables readers to learn about his partner's role in activities for which he is being given sole credit. Thank you in advance. Gaw54 ( talk) 17:18, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for the feedback. The use of first names is to distinguish Noma from her (ex)husband Bill and are only used when they are both mentioned. I'll take a look for other places where "she" can be used. I'm not sure what you mean by dropping the namedropping. The context both in which and with whom she worked is important to her story, as are the names of the artists who were in her collection. That's what defines a notable collection. One question: can you explain why Carroll O'Conner is in red rather than linking to the Wiki page for him? Thanks again for taking time to review. Gaw54 ( talk) 01:30, 22 February 2020 (UTC)

Dear DGG. In my ignorance I appended a message for you in your Archive for September 2019 as that was the last time we corresponded. I have copied the text I inserted below. The only comment I would add to it is that I am having great difficulty in obtaining independent external evidence of the use of ROADEX technologies on public road networks as the average engineer and employing organisation involved do not normally publish such information. Engineers need to promote their work more in this regard and the ROADEX project is actively encouraging this. That said, any help/guidance you can give will be much appreciated. The text I appended in your September Archive was:
Eonmun, Promotional writing tells the audience what the subject would like them to know. Encyclopedic writing tells the audience what they would reasonably want to know and expect to find in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedic writing is directed to the general public who might come across the subject and want to find some objective information.
DGG, Thank you for your suggestions. I accept them all. I needed the guidance and will take a fresh look at the draft page. Ronmun ( talk) 14:01, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

Am I missing something, because the opening paragraphs of the text seem more like an attack section than anything else. -- Mr. Vernon ( talk) 21:56, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
Hi, thank you for looking at Draft:Benevity. I'm confused by the move into draft space, why this instead of adding maintenance tags or AfD, with no discussion on talk prior to the move?
I disagree completely on it being 'undersourced' as a) there is no unsourced material in the article, and b) it has many significant, independent, reliable, secondary sources, in my opinion more than enough to meet WP:GNG and WP:COMPANY. While it may sound promotional, a) this is simply a reflection of the reliable sources and b) I don't believe that a promotional tone justifies removing the article from the namespace.
I'm annoyed that a consensus of one was able to remove this article from the encyclopedia, and that it will now have to undergo a long bureaucratic process rather than being improved in the namespace (my first time dealing with AfC - maybe I'm wrong). Thank you. - M.Nelson ( talk) 10:09, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
Currently, the main difficulty for Wikipedia is the widespread presence of promotionalism ... In dealing with this, we try to find intermediate solutions between tagging an article, but never being able to follow up, and deleting it altogether. The current method is the use of draft space. It has in most respects been quite successful-- all articles by new editors get submitted there, and we can keep track of what gets improved and what does not. The use of draft space also opens the participation in this process to non-admins. Anyone can move an article to draft, not just admins, and the process of accepting articles from draft is done by a those editors who hold the AFCH permission, as well as admins. All in al, its a fairer and more effective than our earlier ways of dealing with this (It has problems, such as the delays, but about half the articles now get reviewed almost immediately). Another problem, common to other areas in WP , is the use of templates. They're necessary to handle the work, and as a guide for less experienced reviewers, . but the wording does not always apply.
There are several ways of looking at what promotionalism consists of: Promotional articles (and web sites) tell the reader what the company (or other subject) would like them to know; in contrast, encyclopedia articles say what the general public might reasonable want to know, having heard of the organization or other subject. Promotional writing is directed towards employees or potential employees or supporter or potential supporters, clients or potential clients.
Looking at the draft, I do consider it inadvertently worded in a promotional way. This is particularly difficult to avoid in companies of this sort--those directed to b-to-b services, and claiming to produce social as well as commercial benefits The best way for me to explain this is to modify it and then accept it, which I have just done. Part of the delay was my difficulty in figuring out how to deal with a case of writing in a clearly promotional style from an editor who had not done so previously. If you do not like what I have done, you may of course add it back, but consider first the most neutral way to word it: I sometimes say that encyclopedic writing should be concise, cold, dull, and descriptive. If you do add it back, I shall not argue, but might use afd in the old way. DGG ( talk ) 05:32, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

Doogierev, I've done what I could to help the article, by removing excess use of the name, the organisation's name, and repeated links . But I see you left in the material about the debating and undergraduate successes. I do not see why the public should be interested in them. What I do see, is that it is setting up an image of coming from a single mother family, who succeeds in school and then in university, as a first generation Oxbridge student thus providing the background for Seddon's authenticity in offering a program for other young people to replicate his achievement. This is the way good PR is written. Wikipedia does not publish PR. DGG ( talk ) 07:21, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

Hi!
I was wondering if you could provide some more details about why this draft: /info/en/?search=Draft:Clodagh_O%27Shea was rejected. I agree that I should add a degree history and will do so, but I am confused about some of the other comments.
The rejection noted that my article was written in a "non-neutral" tone but the only full statement that I have is: "Clodagh C. O'Shea is a professor of molecular and cell biology and current Wicklow Chair at the Salk Institute for Biological Sciences and a scholar at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute," which is a statement of fact. Everything else is lists of publications or awards.
In addition, I am confused as to why I need to provide her top 5 cited publications with the number of citations, when this page: /info/en/?search=Mario_Rocca was recently approved and has only 3 publications listed without any indication of how often they're cited.
Lastly, the comments include "And any national level awards--not junior awards or awards from their own university." I realize that the awards listed might be perceived as "junior" but the Beckman award is national and comes with a substantial grant and is important enough that it even has its own Wikipedia article. The "distinguished investigator" award is pretty common among other Wikipedia articles for scientists and that particular one was awarded by another national institute with a Wikipedia entry. I've adjusted the citations so that they come from the awarding agency instead of the Salk Institute, in the hopes that maybe that will help.

User:DGGI can assure you that I am not being paid to write about a fellow scientist, nor am I at Prof Andrews’ institution. I have written the article in a neutral way as required. I admire their work and feel it is not well known to the public despite its importance and it having touched many lives for the better. The role of Sanger and Andrews in developments of agents to mitigate chemotherapy-nduced emesis is stated in peer-reviewed papers in top journals, that is, their contributions have been reviewed by peers and are accepted by the research community. The basic science work they contributed to understanding the efficacy of 5HT-3 and NK1 receptor antagonists led to the drugs Granisetron and Emend, that have been and still are prescribed worldwide. Their roles are discussed at length in the Wellcome Trust ‘Witnesses to Contemporary Medicine’ report as is referenced in the article. I haven’t written other articles as I’m new to wiki page writing. I didn’t realise it was as difficult as it seems. That I know of his nomination is part of the usual leaks in the science world that surround the Nobel process, and have for decades, nothing new there. It is not mentioned in the article originally or in the amended version. Reference Daphne Christie; Tilli Tansey, eds.

Thank you for these helpful editorial comments, DGG. I am carefully following all of your directions in this revision.
I have sought a more formal and neutral tone, mentioned books only once and removed from the lede, and delegated reviews to references. I am removing any indications of praise and cleanly separating artistic from academic pursuits.
There is no conflict of interest. I am a musicologist, so I know Jon McCollum’s work well and can confirm it is having an impact.

I have a policy of not arguing with a wiki reviewer but am so glad you pointed out that within reason a chemical article can not be too technical as that is the whole point! However, I checked with other similar articles and I admit I wrote one of them and heavily edited another. They are here. /info/en/?search=1,6-Hexanediol_diacrylate
I don't think I have the access rights to change but these three articles should be consistent. TMPTA is shortened in the title but the other two are fully spelled out. I think that should be changed.

Hello. I have rewritten the article Draft:Dmitry Zimin that you have previously draftified. Could you please take a look at it? -- colt_browning ( talk) 15:35, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
Hi there, I have been researching Dr Syra Madad and was intending to create a wiki page on her. However, I saw that a draft had already been created but then declined for lack of notability. I was therefore wondering if you could elaborate on why you think Dr Madad fails to meet the notability critiera? Having checked
WP:ACADEMIC and
WP:BIO, I believe Dr Madad is notable enough for inclusion based on the following criteria:
Criteria 7. The person has made substantial impact outside academia in their academic capacity. (Criterion 7 may be satisfied, for example, if the person is frequently quoted in conventional media as an academic expert in a particular area. A small number of quotations, especially in local news media, is not unexpected for academics and so falls short of this mark.)
Dr Madad has been frequently cited in the media with regards to her expertise in infectious disease, especially during the current coronavirus pandemic. She was also selected as an expert for the Netflix documentary 'Pandemic: How to Prevent an Outbreak'.
The subject has received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject.
Based on the sources listed above (and others not included), I believe this constitutes significant coverage of the subject.

Namaste DGG.
I joined Wikipedia recently and I have gone through some of the most important Wikipedia guidelines like GNG, NPOV and NCORP. I have edited a few articles to familiarize myself and I wrote about a company ( link), I no longer work for (but still declared a COI). I came to know that a previous attempt was taken down through AfD and you were a participant in that talk. FYI, I strongly emphasize on NPOV so I have not promoted the company. Could you please help me review its new AfC draft and possibly suggest any improvements. It would help me become a better editor in the days to come! Thanks in advance!

Hi DGG, looking to talk about which part of the article makes you believe Draft:Renowned LA is a press release? I kept it short for this reason (it's easier to get feedback).
I'm thinking the later part of the second sentence where the article states celebrities who wear the brand could be redundant for WP:SIGCOV since its established in the following sentence.
I'm looking to create a few articles to keep me entertained during the Covid-19 pandemic and could use some feedback so every article I make over the next week or two doeesn't get deleted. I plan to use similar format when creating my stubs (overview and history then basic notability references). Pilot333 ( talk) 14:10, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
If you don't mind, I could use some advice or input on a situation, not sure if I'm overreacting, under reacting, or acting appropriately, as the situation is sort of unique. This started when I placed a notability maintenance template as part of NPP and was working with the page creator here to explain the concerns. Apparently, I did not respond to his latest comment quick enough and came back to see that some article I created seven years ago had been stripped and gutted, by the user's own admittance as an act of retribution, further comments here. I reverted the edits he made, as I saw it as a WP:WITCHHUNT and an effort to be destructive instead of constructive and explained such and invited the user to comment on his concerns on the talk page. When the user started in with more passive-aggressive statements, judgments on my contributions, and empty apologies, I chose to try to WP:DISENGAGE and ask the user to stop what I perceived as harassing and continuing comments. I reverted one last time the users edits stating I would need time to review what is wrong with the article and their actions couldn't be viewed as constructive. From that the user has now set another passive aggressive deadline on me in their most recent comment on the Lucky Lou's talk page..
I'll be the first to admit, the Lucky Lou's article is problematic and in need of help and possibly not even notable. I had actually completely forgotten about this article that was created in my Wiki infancy. I would like to improve the article, but I feel that any edits I make would be met with interference and more unwanted interactions with this user. I also am concerned whether or not this user is performing the same acts of retribution against other reviewers/editors who are critical of their work. I could have handled the situation better by probably not reverting their edits and just coming back after a few days. I'm likely just going to wait for the user to move on in a continuing effort to WP:DISENGAGE as much as possible. Just wondering if I have some sort of responsibility in letting a third party know about this, to see if this user has done such actions in the past, since from what I understand retribution and unconstructive edits like this are very much against quite a few policies and I wouldn't want to see other reviewers/patrollers discouraged or attacked. Sorry to bring a bit of drama to your door, but I know you will give a fair assessment of the situation, including the things I could have done differently. If you want me to take the whole thing elsewhere, that's fine too. Cheers. Sulfurboy ( talk) 21:55, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

Draft: R Dub! you rejected the article, and I'm really confused as to why. There are 2 main reasons given for the rejection: lack of neutral / professional tone and lack of independent published sources. Could you tell me what's lacking in the first one? The 2nd one I'm just really confused by, because there are tons and tons of independent sources cited, including newspapers from various locations. Another proofreader previously asked if this person really is notable and deserves an article, so I was told to add awards proving notoriety (which I did) and to cite articles proving notoriety (which I mentioned on that proofreader's talk page and added as a note on the draft article). Could you clue me in? I'm just baffled at this point, because the article follows an exact format that I copied from other radio DJs who have articles, so if theirs are good enough, and this article follows the exact same style and format, I don't get why those are published and this one isn't. Glad for any pointers. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Smithryanallen ( talk • contribs) 14:55, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

Draft: Rocco Lupoi You claimed a personal opinion that the article was: "This is a promotional press release, not an encyclopedia article." Which is not based on any more explanation. This appears to be a poor justification, as the article entirely relies on external primary and secondary sources that are suitable to the "reliability" policy of wikipedia i.e. Reputable Newspapers and Media; and Academic Research Papers. Secondly on the lack of neutrality in the tone of some phrases, as it was outlined back in december by Taewangkorea, this has been corrected and rectified, to match the neutral tone standard of wikipedia. As such there is no evidence of "promotion" apart from your personal, perhaps biased judgement. I would appreciate the opinion of another Wikipedia Editor.

Hi DGG,
I saw your note about the Beyond Better Foods article, and am confused. What was on it that made it seem promotional?
Most of the articles are direct references to the existence of the company and the product, with the primary article, being a full page feature in the New York Times, goes into detailed length about the formation of the company.
The article that you referred to, the USA Today article, was listed (and ultimately summarized in a non-promotional way) with 9 other articles, merely to give an example that the products of this company have covered extensively in major outlets with extensive reach over a long period of time, which they indeed have. Would it help to remove the sentence though (although it feels relevant to establish the impact that the products that beyond better foods have had in the market)?
If you could help provide this clarification, that would be great and allow me to correct this. It seems that a major company such as this, that is available around the country and has multiple products, should be here. I see other similar companies, like Halo Top Creamery (there's a full list here: /info/en/?search=List_of_ice_cream_brands) all have pages.
Also I might add that this page also lists major legal controversy (which I thought was also relevant) to illustrate neutrality as well.
Thanks again for your help - these comments are in earnest and looking to find a way to improve this. Came across this while reading Lisa Lillien's page and thought there should be a connection.
Best!

Hi User:DGG,
I"m really trying here to get this article up to snuff. What do I need to do? I tried providing a number of articles that list dietitians and certified individuals from NUMEROUS outlets, providing plaudits and listings for this company and its products. What am I missing here? Now I'm being told it reads like a press release. I feel like every time I'm moving forward its actually two steps back.
I feel like this is hopeless and yet so clearly should be something that should be here. Is there someone that can just go through and edit it as it needs, or give some kind of guidance? I'm unable to find articles that read well that I can model for a similar product or company.
Please help :/

Hello DGG, I really appreciate your page where you explain your view of the universe. A great read. If you could help me restore all the hard work I did and help me get on a path to do it properly, I would be most grateful. I think it would also help a great many people. Jerrold's death is a big loss to many as I anticipated it would be.
I will leave the explanation for my appeal that I wrote for the speedy deletion. Please note that after I wrote that I added some citations from the New York Times (which I planned to do all along) to bolster my case. But alas, the initial article was gone when I returned a few hours later. If you could please help me get it back, I think it would be just.
If I have to start it somewhere else, like my sandbox, subject to approval, I will do so. But I'd love to retrieve my work thus far.
Here was my appeal:
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... this person died 4/4/2020 from the Covid-19 virus. He is the author of 30 books, both fiction and non-fiction and has been an editor at The New York Times. He is a member of the Authors Guild, PEN American Center, and Poets & Writers, is listed in Contemporary Authors and the Directory of American Poets & Fiction Writers.
I was surprised to find there was no Wikipedia page on him so I created one. I am sure other writers and publishers will be interested in his passing and will be willing to help with this page if more needs to be added to it. At the present time I was just trying to create a factual page about a genuine important person with a writing career that spans over 40 years. Please let me know what I can do to improve this article. I was not trying to be overly promotional, just to state his importance as a public figure. His book HOW TO GET OUT OF DEBT, STAY OUT OF DEBT & LIVE PROSPEROUSLY has helped literally tens of thousands of people all over the world and is an important text in the 12 step worlds of Debtors Anonymous and Underearners Anonymous. Furthermore, the current economic crisis is sure to being more people to these 12 step fellowships for help.
I would be happy to do more research and/or make any changes or eliminate any sentences or paragraphs or citations that appear to be promotional that you deem necessary to being this article up to your standards. I was just trying to make a first pass at creating a summary of this man's importance to the world. Like I said, I was very surprised that he was not already listed in Wikipedia. Thank you for seriously considering this. I am sure many people will be looking for this article in the days to come as news of his death becomes more well known.
I realize now perhaps I should have put it in my sandbox and begun it that way. Whatever could happen to set things right, I am willing to do it to get this article up. Jerrold Mundis helped thousands of people, died Saturday of the Covid-19 virus and I would put him in the category of a professor that you cited in your DGG page. I loved what you wrote there and though he was not a professor, he had a 40 year career as a published writer and deserves to be on Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iochone ( talk • contribs) 13:30, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I was recently rejected the article for Heal(2017 documentary film) and I was wondering what sections were deemed as advertisement. I included biographical data of the individuals of the film and the purpose for their appearance in the film, overall summary of the film, background on mind-body medicine, and the few accolades it has received. As for the lack of notability reason, I believe the film is sufficient for its own article as it is widely available through Netflix.

Hi DGG, Thank you for the response, it cleared many of my questions. I plan on removing many of the biographies of the individuals that already have one like you mentioned. I found a couple of reviews of the film such as https://slate.com/technology/2018/01/documentary-heal-makes-important-points-about-positivity.html , https://www.filminquiry.com/heal-2017-review/ and https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/heal-1052491 among others. Perhaps I can include these reviews in a "Reception" section to address the notability and third-party issue. To answer your question, my course instructor gave the "OK" for the film. Please let me know if this is a good method to proceed. CaMenendez

Hi David. Thank you for taking your time to review my edit. I do see why somebody might consider the article to be non-notable enough, I guess that is subjective. The reason for writing here is to check whether you declined the page because you suspected it to be spam / written with commercial or such intentions. As I understand you deal with such spam regularly. I just want to state that my submission was not intended as spam or with commercial intentions. This is my first WP article and this took me quite some time to write and collect the references based on the feedback of Liance. I do think the quality of WP comes first, but just want to make sure it was not rejected because of some misunderstanding of the intentions for posting. The reason for posting was because it took me quite some time to figure out why it was so difficult to find a version of an VCE file that would open with an older version of the VCE Exam Simulator. While this product seems the only actually used product in this market of exam simulators it is hard to find independent information on the subject. I looked on WP because I hoped to find more on it here. Since nothing was here I hoped to facilitate by publishing the little that I do have reliable / independent information of. This might make it easier for others to add to in the future. Please let me know if this might change your POV on the submission and if there is anything else I can do to preserve this information.

== Question on citations ==
Hey DGG, First of all, thanks for reviewing my article that was submitted for creation! It is reassuring to know others take the time to ensure that shared knowledge is of good quality.
Now, as for my question I'd like to say that I am fairly new to writing Wikipedia articles. In fact, the draft about Text World Theory is my first serious article that I would love to see published. The theory itself is of course not my original research. I just read the book for a University class, saw that it had no Wikipedia page and wanted to share it for others to see.
You commented that it seemed notable, but that it needed additional references to see where the statements came from exactly. Since I am new to this and I cannot really claim that I am a complete expert on the topic myself, I heavily relied on the book that introduced the theory for students like me, plus additional sources that work with the same concepts or use the theory in a different context. Consequently, I could reference nearly every sentence to a certain passage in one of the books that I used. However, it seems to me that that would both be unnecessary as it is clear that the article is based on these books or peer-reviewed articles, as well as that it would make the entire article less enjoyable to read with this immense amount of little blue numbers.
So my question is, when can it be said that the amount of references suffices? The guidelines that I have seen on this aren't clear enough for me, so I turn to an experienced editor for help.
Thanks in advance! I will continue to work on it, but I would love to hear your tips. Owndifiction ( talk) 15:00, 15 April 2020 (UTC)Owndifiction

I apologize if I am reaching out incorrectly or if this is not a matter for the talk page, as I am unfamiliar with Wikipedia. I am the person who proposed deleting the
/info/en/?search=Brewbaker_v._Regents page. Thank you for your response to my proposed deletion. I did find a third party source on the case, a book titled The Law of Higher Education, sixth edition, student version, and cites the case for the proposition that an administrative school disciplinary matter held after a criminal prosecution for the same conduct does not violate the Double Jeopardy Clause. Does this make the case notable with respect to Wikipedia? I would volunteer to try re-writing the page to focus on its legal notability in order to remove the strange interpretation that the original author of the page, who was the plaintiff in the case, included in the article. However, I am a lawyer who represents a party who the plaintiff of this case is suing in another, unrelated matter. I discovered this article while researching the plaintiff and assumed that Wikipedia would not want off-base legal interpretations in articles written by the losing plaintiff. I believe it would be just as improper for me to write about the case given my adversarial posture to the plaintiff as it was for the original plaintiff to use Wikipedia as a place to vent about having lost the case. I would certainly try to be neutral, but the article would be better written by an expert in law (probably a lawyer or paralegal) who is not connected to the case or the parties involved in it in any way.
I am not sure how to propose that the article be rewritten, so I am leaving this note on your talk page in case you take an interest and are able to take steps to have the article be rewritten.

I created a new page via AFC but it was rejected due to lack of notability. I would have thought winning App of the year would help it satisfy this and felt there was enough other sources and notable coverage for the page to be notable, but if not, not and the page shouldn't be created. What are your thoughts?

Greetings!<
Wikipedia has an unusually robust amount of content devoted to personal information management (PIM) software. This content is useful for people trying to find the right software for their needs in a category that is flush with software titles. I realize Wikipedia may not be right place for this content, but it has been allowed to flourish here, and it now serves as a useful though incomplete reference source.
Among the useful resources is the List of personal information managers which features a table showing software specifications and in most cases a link to the Wikipedia article for each software title. Some Wikipedia articles listed in the table:
Personal Knowbase
MyInfo
Whizfolders
Calendar
I attempted to add a personal information manager (Zoot) to this collection, but the article is getting rejected with the following explanation:
This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article — that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.
Among the secondary sources listed for Zoot is a full length piece in Atlantic Magazine written by James Fallows. I would think that would qualify as published, reliable and independent of the subject.
But to the larger point: while I can't argue whether or not articles about software titles belong on Wikipedia, they have nevertheless found a place here, and it seems to me that this area of Wikipedia should either be allowed to flourish or it should be removed in its entirety. If the content cannot be expanded and improved then it will exist merely as a flawed and incomplete reference.

Thanks for your efforts on Wikipedia in general, and this submission in particular. I am new at this, so bear with me. By the way, I loved this passage in your own bio. Good advice!
In the period after the February Revolution had overthrown the Tsar, when the Bolsheviks were a very small minority, Lenin's slogan was "patiently explain", as he urged the policy of talking to workers and soldiers individually to convince them of the validity of the party's program. Most of his colleagues wanted either to compromise with the more moderate politicians, in which case they would have been quickly swallowed up by their opponents, or go out immediately on the streets, where they would have been destroyed immediately. Lenin and his co-workers continued persuading until they were a majority in the key places--the forces of soldiers and sailors who would have been sent to suppress them. That's when they went out on the streets, in October, and they succeeded immediately. DGG (talk) 19:50, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
Regarding the submission on Steve Kropper, I created the entry because he is besieged every week with people asking for help. If they know what he is about they will be better prepared and not waste time with the wrong approach or about approaching the wrong person. So I looked at a few dozen pages for people who have done similar work in energy, telecom and public policy. I looked at the Wikipedia guidelines, endeavored to fit them, and to tell a story that was well documented. The guy is a pioneer in energy conservation in buildings, telecom, public safety and has spent his life with an undercurrent of public service. The entry is not an advertisement as he has no upside from helping young people these days as they come to him with seeking career or political advice.
So I felt that your critique was unfair and need advice on how to help this public figure present himself so people take advantage of him in a good way. [[User:CharlesMerrimack|CharlesMerrimack] 15:49, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I wanted to request more information about the article I wrote on International Swan Day.

Dear DGG,
Apologies. I created this page draft ( /info/en/?search=Draft:Udai_Singh_Pawar ) in October and got a comment from Robert McClenon. Unfortunately I did not reply in time, as did not put the time in to understand how to use the talk pages. Then in January you reviewed the page and possibly since there was no response, so you might have declined for that reason. Unless you had some other concerns, those I would be happy to address.
Very sorry for not having replied in time, but finally I used the live chat to understand how to use the talk page - I hope that I have done this correctly - and so I do have a response, below.
I would request you to take a look whenever it may be convenient. Best Regards and apologies for not figuring this out sooner. --

Hi, you tagged Marmol Radziner as {{ advert}}. I did a fairly massive overhaul of the page some years ago to address previously tagged editing issues. I realize that seems positively inclined towards the subject, but that merely reflects the inclination of the sources (if there was any negative reporting, I am sure that I would have found it, and would have also included it). I'm not sure how that issue can be "fixed" without removing or inaccurately reflecting sourced content. Cheers! BD2412 T 00:48, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
Hi DGG, thank you for reviewing our draft article about Weenect. This (hopefully) soon-to-be Wikipedia article is definitely not intended to read like an advertisement. Therefore, we changed the wording to be more objective and informing. Also, the sources have been reviewed and changed where necessary in order to ensure that a good blend of reliable and independent sources is used to support the given information. We hope that the article now qualifies for being published on Wikipedia as a French as well as a German version of the article have already been approved and are online now. Thanks, Affenbrotbaum123.

Recently the page was declined because "no evidence of notability for this basically local project. 2 or 3 articles in educational magazines is not enough for notability."
There are more than a few activities on the page that are outside of Ohio, including, for example, a collaboration with Daniel Shiffman who is a professor at New York University. The article also mentions workshops at national meetings of the American Association of Physics Teachers and connections to a national group the "Partnership for Integrating Computation into Undergraduate Physics". There is also STEMcoding content on hourofcode.com which is an initiative of code.org, which is a national group. I am trying to understand where the "local project" judgement is coming from.

Hi DGG!
Long ago, you nominated Veeam for speedy deletion. You waited maybe two or three days, but no other admin deleted it. So you removed the speedy tag and tried to fix the article.
The article is problematic again now. I've nominated it for speedy deletion again; please feel free to delete it if you'd like.
I think that maybe the article may be a hopeless article about a non-notable company, and that deletion may be the best option. I suppose an okay second-best alternative might be indefinite semi-protection.
If you reply here, it would be good if you could please ping me by name.

Dear DBB,
You noted on my draft on Buck's Store Museum that "additional citations are needed to show wider notice." I'm thinking of locating more press articles on the store, citing a book that explicitly devotes a section to the store, citing an obituary of its owner, and potentially adding an image of the store once I understand the image rights involved. Of course I understand you cannot prematurely approve an article, but do you think such steps might be sufficient to help move the article to a publishable state?

Dear Sir,
I had a very brief exposure to adding/editing wiki articles during my Ph.D. days at IISc Bangalore. This was somewhere in 2014 when a set of people actively writing wiki articles visited us and organized an edit-a-thon related to 'Indian women scientists'. At that time, I created pages for Dr. Indrani Bose and Dr. Aruna Dhathathreya. However, could not keep up with that due to a hectic lab schedule. But now I would like to resume this activity.
I completed a Ph.D. in Physics in 2018 from IISc Bangalore. I am interested in adding content on Indian Women Scientists, Indian Women Engineers, Indian Women Educationists, Indian Women Administrators. Can you guide me on how can I contribute to wiki contents? Can I come up with a list of potential people to be added? I would like to start with Prof. Mini Shaji Thomas. Kindly advice.
Thank you.
OK: First of all, edit under the same user name as you did before. If you no when you have the password you can request another one since your email is activated. If you don't want to do that link from your new user page to your old one Then pick the most prominent people possible who will be considered notable under our rules for WP: PROF. One way to do that is to look for people who hold an honorary named professorship because they are always considered notable. Also anyone who has ever been head of the University which in India is probably usually named vice chancellor is also considered notable., but When you write the article , write it as objectively as possible not like a profile on a university website . Give the place of birth and the education and positions held with dates do not discuss family or hobbies, find the three or four most cited papers & list them in full bibliographic format giving the citation numbers from Google scholar. Before you do this go back to the articles you already wrote and add in the necessary information and remove excessive personal material. DGG ( talk ) 19:50, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
As for Mini Shaji Thomas, she is probably qualified as director of NIT Tiruchirappalli, but a Google scholar citation figures are very low--she seems to have been primarily an administrator. DGG ( talk ) 19:57, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

Bexar County is one of the larges counties in Texas. The local administrative judge has, in the time of COVID-19 been making unprecedented decisions regarding court access and jury trials. This has been the subject of much press coverage, some of which I included in the article.

Dear DGG, This is the second article of mine that you have declined. The first was about Katya Cengel (a female author from the biographies needing done list). I re-wrote that article but it has not yet been re-reviewed. So I wanted to work on a new one, I thought I would try a different type of person, so a man from s technologies list. I thought I did what you had instructed. I used all very known reliable outside resources. I wrote about him and not his accolades. I am confused as to what I am doing wrong. Can you please help me understand what the problem is?
In general, taking topics from the list of desired articles needs to be done carefully--anyone may place a topic there. Since PR writers know that if they write the WP articles directly, they will find the articles rejected and be banned as undeclared paid editors, this has become a common trick for inducing good-faith wikipedians to do the work for free. But the results are indistinguishable from paid editing. The best way of finding topics is list prepared for editathons, or based on genuine news accounts that you see yourself. Before you start, make sure you have at least 2, and better 3, excellent reliable independent sources from books by major publishers or major magazines or newspapers with national coverage. You will also find list of desired articles at the various Wikiproject pages. DGG ( talk ) 23:44, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
Cengal may be notable , but the article didn't show it, and neither does your revision. Notability for a reporter is very difficult to demonstrate unless they win an individual pulitzer or something equally important. Notability for an author is much easier--it depends on the reviews, and the first indication of whether there are likely to be substantial reviews in third-party published independent reliable sources, not press releases, blurbs, blogs, Amazon, or Goodreads The article didn't give it , but I should have looked further. The books are mostly from University of Nebraska Press, or one of its subimprints, which is a very good sign. I shall now add this information to the article. The place to find the information is WorldCat. Of the places where you took the reviews. none is a major publication, such as the NYT book review. Pacific Standard is an online environmental magazine, and is the best of them--see our article on it--not that despite what our article says, it is still active--I shall have to update it . NY Journal of books is of undetermined reliability(--it is not New York Review of Books, a magazine of very high prestige. ). Judging by its Web site [13]. we need an article on it. The article needs to focus on her as an author, not a journalist. To some degree, the number of copies of books in worldcat libraries can indicate significance, tho its not a formal criterion for notability . I made a start at that, and accepted it. You will find listings for additional reviews of her books in Worldcat, and there is some material to find a reference for. And check the exact name of the field in which she received a degree.

Hi DGG,
You have reviewed my article about Gig Perfofmer:
/info/en/?search=Draft:Gig_Performer
I'm sorry to hear you rejected it. Another Wikipedia reviewer Timtrent and I put some effort to review my draft together, section by section, sentence by sentence and improve it (for which I'm very, very grateful to Timtrent - he's a really kind person). I'm sorry to hear that these few sentences still look like an advertisement; I created this draft based on similar applications like Mainstage or GuitarRig. I wanted to keep that style, short and informative.
Timtrent and I also reviewed my references so they meet Wikipedia reliability standards, and the corrected version seemed OK to both of us. I was hoping that someone will review my draft and accept it.
Can you please take another look on this draft and give me suggestions what else to do so it finally gets approved? This is my first Wikipedia article, and I really want to to anything to improve it so it finally gets accepted. Thank you very much for your feedback.

Hi DGG,
I am not in the staff of indiexpo company. It is a community that helps indie game developers and I am a young game developer. I am totally new on wikipedia. I started creating that page because I see other pages on wikipedia about gamejolt and itch (platforms similar to indiexpo) and I was thinking that it was a good idea to start with a page about it. Just it. I contacted few time ago the staff of the website for more news to add but it is not a press release (you can check on internet, it is totally new). And I see that also other fans of this services were editing it. I hope to be clear! If you have any questions, I am here!
Thanks again, and happy editing!

Either the Twinkle deletion process is broken, or you've missed a step in a couple of recent nominations for deletion.

Hi, I'm wanting advice on an article I am trying to publish which you rejected: Draft:Robin Friend . You stated that it's "not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia." I have had a look at the notability page and also the specific part of what constitutes a "creative professional" and I personally still don't see why it was rejected. Please could you shed some light on why you deemed Robon Friend not notable enough. Thanks.
So to your first point, Robin Friend has work in the permeant collection of the Martin Parr Foundation. Martin Parr started this up to collect and preserve “significant photographic works” focused on the British Isles. In terms of reliable sources and press releases, to name a few, but I have referenced It’s Nice That, British Journal of Photography, The Guardian, Cultural Bulletin, Huck. All of these are very well recognised and established and have written extensive articles on Friend. And to your final point, this is the first time I’m hearing of anything to do with the notability of Robin Friend as a reason for the article being declined, the previous times were for lack of references. As a final point to back up Robin Friend's notability, he has shown work in numerous solo and group exhibitions worldwide.
Thank you for reconsidering and taking back your rejection. What happens now? Do I need to do anyhting or do I just wait for it to be reviewed again?
I wish more people thought like you. I feel like you understand what Wikipedia's true intentions were and over the years people have been making up their own rules in order to feel a sense of entitlement. I would appreciate if you could look at my draft of the short web series "Becoming Jiff". Thank you. Drwho92 ( talk) 06:20, 15 September 2020 (UTC) |
Recently, you rejected a draft page at Articles for Creation about Diet Doctor [14]. I'd really be interested in hearing if you have any more feedback as to why the page wasn’t accepted or any tips for how I can improve it. I really didn’t think the content was an advert – it even contains some criticisms – and the cited sources explain the website is one of the largest keto websites there is.

Hello DDG. I've noticed that you set Olimex to being protected from creation due to copyright violations after a couple of incidents. That's understandable at the time, but it seems a bit odd now that it's effectively banned indefinitely due to something that happened over four years ago! I've created what I think is a reasonable initial article at Draft:Olimex. Would it be possible to remove the protection so it could be published?

In this capacity, Tessie is a frequent speaker at events and is regularly quoted as an expert in the international development field in the media. She has made significant contributions to the field of modernizing U.S. government foreign assistance. Her counterparts include Carolyn Miles, CEO of Save the Children; Michelle Nunn, CEO of Care; and David Millibrand, CEO of the International Rescue Committee, all of whom have Wikipedia pages.

Sir, I am an employee of the organization named Crowdera. It is a six year old crowdfunding platform. We have tried to create an article back in 2016 but due to not being aware of the policies of Wikipedia, the article violated several rules and was deleted. By this time, the company have become well known. There are a lot of references about the company in independent sources as Wikipedia policy says. So possibly the company is now notable against the yardstick of Wikipedia. If the previous creations have caused annoyance, I sincerely apologize for that and earnestly request you to kindly consider allowing the recreation of the article in present situation. I have a small draft with me which I have written at the time following all the guidelines of Wikipedia like neutral point of view, stating facts etc to best of my ability. I would request you if you kindly see the draft article. I have already disclosed the Conflict of Interest as I have a relationship with the organization. I am creating the draft in the name of Crowdera Crowdfunding ( /info/en/?search=Draft:Crowdera_Crowdfunding) as I can't create in the name of Crowdera.

I saw that you nominated a page I recently created, Hydro Flask, for speedy deletion. I am quite confident that the page need not be deleted and I have contested it as prompted, but I thought I would attach my response here as well for you to see.
Honestly, I struggle to understand why this page has been nominated for speedy deletion. First of all, I have no connection to this company--I do not even use their products nor do I want to. Every single statement I made in this article is supported by at least one independent, reliable source, with the exception of Hydro Flask's tagline, which is supported by their website. This company is undoubtedly notable, as evidenced by the coverage of it which can be found in my references. The only thing I can think of is that this is about the beginning of the article mentioning the popularity and quality, but that too is supported by reliable sources and is not my attempt to make their brand sound cool.
Los Angeles Times: "Now we’re in the era of must-have water bottle." "A Hydro Flask has become the kind of gift that can send a tween into paroxysms of joy." How it distinguished itself from any other bottle at sporting goods stores and became a hot fashion accessory is a story about the convergence of several cultural threads: anxiety about the environment, a surge in attention to self-care and wellness, and the simple desire to keep hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold."
CNN: "The Hydro Flask craze is in full swing. It seems wherever you go, there’s someone smugly drinking ice-cold water from a colorful metal water bottle while side-eyeing the disposable plastic bottle in your hand." "Hydro Flask has recently found broader popularity among millennials, Gen Zers and VSCO girls alike." "There are real, tangible reasons people are going crazy for these bottles." (goes into much more detail on this).
USA Today: (This one is not the subject of the article but it still attests to the popularity) "When we tested water bottles this year, the Hydro Flask was one of our favorites. Not only is it a fantastic water bottle, but it is also extremely trendy."

Hi, you said this article is "basically advertising for a non-notable individual." But he is as equally notable as any other CEO of a fitness brand. SoulCycle, Flywheel, etc.--those founders/CEOs all have individual Wikipedia pages. And I don't understand how it's advertising.

... There are many hundred thousand articles in WP accepted in earlier years when the standards were lower that we need to either upgrade or remove. The least we can do is not add to them. Looking at the draft you wrote, a Wikipedia article must have substantial 3rd party reliable published sources, not blogs or postings or mere notices . None of your references meet this test--even the NYTimes ref is a mere mention in a list of dozens of different transactions, bizjournals is a place for distributing press releases, the retailwire interview is a platform for Dougherty to say whatever he cares to & is therefore not independent, the award is not an award but only an honorable mention, and Dougherty wrote the other 2 himself. and, Since this is your only contribution, and since it is written in the format of a press release, it is reasonable to ask whether you are a connected contributor, in which case you must declare the connection.

The Management section of the page previously listed the names of most Management members, which I agree, is not necessary but we would like to retain the names of Vice President, Secretary General and Honorary President because of the increasingly important role they play in the Academy which is a non profit organisation that addresses world problems. Not as a form of self promotion or anything, just to make them get the recognition they deserve. But I recently checked the page and found some names missing and that's how I came here.
Having said that, please, I would like to the rationale behind your deleting the names. Is the norm usually to include just the names of President and Chair? Thank you so much in advance.

I have saw and tried to improve upon your corrections, thank you for your time and patience, i'm trying to ensure it doesn't get deleted/can hopefully be approved. Will keep trying to improve. Amurphy79 ( talk) 15:22, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
Hello DGG! I work with Sharecare and am helping flag appropriate updates to the article (Reaching out instead of making the edit myself in keeping with Wikipedia Terms of Use & conflict of interest rules). Do you have a moment to review my request at Talk:Sharecare? It remains unanswered though I included the edit request template and have posted to a few relevant WikiProjects.
I saw that you're among previous contributors to the current article, so I thought this could be of interest to you. Any feedback you may have will be welcome. Thanks for any consideration. Thanks! SCbhaynes ( talk) 22:59, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
Hi, sorry, not sure how to link to draft page, but if you think it would work better merged into the Boucheron firm's page, I can do that :) Thank you for your comment. Red Fiona ( talk) 21:06, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
Hi DGG. Thanks so much for your feedback on Draft:Tammy L. Kernodle.
I believe all of the facts in the bio are referenced according to the work that supports those facts.
I corrected this.
I added part of Sherrie Tucker's review of Kernodle's book with citation.
I fixed this.
I included JSFarman's references as the final paragraph in the "Career" section.
Do you have any further suggestions before resubmitting? Would you be willing to check formatting at this point?
Most gratefully, SyLvRuUz ( talk) 22:11, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
FYI. I've asked the requesting editor to make the improvements quick-fast, maybe this time next week can have another look and renom if required? Cheers, Daniel ( talk) 19:12, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
Article was re-drafted but the review comments state article reads like manual. Article isn't manual, it provides factual information as an encyclopedia topic. Do you have suggestions on how to correct article?

For you or your other academic/library TPSers, anyone have an interest in adopting this article? The topic is notable, but it has been tagged forever, likely because no one knows where to even begin to transform it. Thanks either way. StarM 15:19, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
Hi DGG, I'm still trying to learn how to communicate on Wikipedia, so I'm not sure I'm supposed to respond to our conversation on your talk page or mine -- I appreciate your patience! I did want to follow up on my request to see if you would be able to restore the draft I started for my company, Endeavor Business Media, as I am attempting to create a Wikipedia page. I declared a conflict of interest on my user page, so I'm ready to get started. Here is the rest of our conversation on the topic, copied from my talk page (apologies if this duplicates work):
The first step is to declare the conflict of interest on your user page, which is User: Abigail Christine. You say you work for the company, ans if your job is to write PR for them or anything similar, say so. The second step is to write a factual acrticle in draft space. On that article's talk page, say again that you havea conflict of interest.
I assume you have a copy of what you posted. If not, let me know here. DGG ( talk ) 01:59, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
Thanks DGG - I appreciate you pointing me in the right direction. I will follow those steps. Would it be possible to restore my previous draft, so I can work from there? I have a draft on my computer but I made some changes along the way. Thank you for your help!

Hello DGG,
Thank you for reviewing
Enlabs draft page couple of months ago. I have now made changes to the draft, removed low-quality and industry-related references and added new references from Reuters, MSN.com and others.
I already
talked about the draft to Cerebellum who also reviewed the draft and seemed to be happy with the changes, but wanted another reviewer to take a look at it for the final call. If you have time, could you please take a look at the draft?

Hi, I have some questions about your comment on my draft for Draft:Cerus_Corporation. Thanks for your time in helping me get it right.
You ask to remove every reference that is a press release. I removed five such references. I believe all the remaining primary source references are strictly focused on very simple datapoints as listed below. Are these press releases acceptable uses for minor claims like these?
The two references that previously said simply from "Associated Press" have been updated to reflect the archived hard copy newspapers where they were published (Gettysburg Times and Tuscaloosa News). Are these consider sufficient news outlets to keep these references? If not, is there a documented definition in Wikipedia that separates a "major" newspaper from the others?
I am still working on addressing Nightenbelle's concern about REFBOMB. To be fair, all the refs are at then end of each passage, and each passsage uses all the assigned refs. I am trying to be careful and thorough because medical topics have a higher bar. I would like to continue culling refs but I really need to know which remaining refs are completely barred versus which refs are simply raising an eyebrow -- it might be the latter refs are underpinning only minor additions where I could not find those additions in any other medical journal. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Frazierjason ( talk • contribs) 06:12, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
Thanks for reviewing. Draft:Emily Tamkin
First, neither I nor the author are the subject of the article nor do we know her — you suspected that it was written by the subject. Solved.
Second, you found the article to be promotional in nature. I deleted some parts, added others, and re-arranged it. The text had a bit of a light tone which I also thought was unsuitable so amended that. Can I include these two sentences? They are a little lighthearted, but notable sources and informative, what do you think?
She learned Yiddish during the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] https://www.newstatesman.com/international/2020/06/learning-yiddish-language-pandemic-classes-lockdown
Tamkin has a dog named Shiloh who occasionally makes interview appearances. As of 2019, she had a boyfriend.[11] https://www.cjr.org/first_person/diary-laid-off-buzzfeed-reporter.php
What are you thoughts on the article now? Thanks.

Hi DGG. I was hoping you might be willing to take a look here and provide any feedback. Thank you. MarthaLuke ( talk) 18:34, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
Sir, I have made the necessary corrections to the subject. Kindly find some time to review. Thanks and best regards RV ( talk) 09:29, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
Some have been bent on getting Mr. Ravi IPS's page deleted. they have belittled all his achievements. they also mentioned the award seems to be awarded at least in part merely for long routine service. Then why do we have a wikipedia page for the award alone?
/info/en/?search=President%27s_Police_Medal - This award page that we are talking about interestingly has Mr. Ravi's name mentioned under the state of Tamilnadu.
Citations - Articles and news have mentioned him as the ADGP and not Ravi.
Please let me know if this page can be restored, I can have it rephrased or if given enough time, I am sure many more people will contribute. — Preceding unsigned comment added by A.Abraham.A ( talk • contribs) 10:56, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
