Heard of AfC for the first time tonight. Is it for users without accounts? User:Prilin has an established account. So why was he using AfC?
His article request seems to have been refused for lack of RS. His article topic has notability: Pritchard, D. B. (2007). The Classified Encyclopedia of Chess Variants. John Beasley. p. 260. ISBN 978-0-9555168-0-1.

Dear Sir,
I wonder why the Koos Hertogs article was deleted. I tried to add a reference, as I did in the previous attempts, but was unable to do so, otherwise I certainly would have included it. Now I cannot find the text at all any more I wrote on Koos Hertogs. Koos Hertogs is already accepted in Dutch.

Thanks for your review of my submission -- my first. You rejected it because "This submission's references do not adequately evidence the subject's notability."
Yet, a search of Wikipedia shows 34 separate references to Valerius Geist already. See below. (Sorry that the hotlinks do not copy over). He seems pretty notable already. No? What do you suggest I do now? Thanks.

I also accepted this article. The town website is enough to support the material given, though more specific references are desirable. There is no need to prove notability , since all town are considered notable here. DGG ( talk ) 18:25, 5 August 2012 (UTC)
More generally, I am a little concerned you are failing to accept afcs that with a little effort can be made good enough for mainspace. If I can take the time to improve them, you can also. It just means working a little slower. Obviously we want to encourage good articles, but if it would not be deleted by afd, I think there is no reason to reject it. Editing can continue in the ordinary way. DGG ( talk ) 18:25, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi,
I had previously submitted this article and several editors agreed that there were no issues with copyright infringement because the information came from a government source, which is public information (and incidentally, I wrote the content for that website so it's my own content I'm using). The only issues remaining were that the article did not have enough wikilinks and contained some subjective information and these issues have been corrected with this submission. Editor "Excirial" consulted with several other editors and they concluded that copyrighting was not an issue for this article due to the public nature of US Federal Government Information. I'm wondering why my article has been rejected based on an issue that was already resolved. I can send you my previous communications with Excirial if you'd like.
Thank you
Michelle Smith/GOES-R — Preceding unsigned comment added by GOES-R ( talk • contribs) 12:33, 23 July 2012 (UTC) GOES-R ( talk) 12:36, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
Please see the response from Excirial:
Hello Michelle,
When i originally declined the article, it was because some sections appeared to be copy-n-pasted from external sources. Under normal circumstances US law dictates that copyright is automatically granted on all written texts, and is therefor always present unless the writer specifically waives these rights by releasing the text under a different license. Since Wikipedia is intended to be a free and open encyclopedia, it cannot accept any texts that aren't released licensed under GDFL or CC-BY-SA (or more lenient license).
Note that the key words in the previous section are "under normal circumstances", which was when i remembered reading that US Government works are often released in the public domain by default under PD / Government works. Since this is the proverbial exception to the rule i had to ask some other editors for their opinion regarding this (Since i am not an expert on copyright law), and general agreement was that the texts are indeed public domain and thus can be used (Voiding my previous decline concern). Do note neither me nor the other editors are specialists on copyright law, so i cannot give a guarantee on this issue.
Moving on to another matter - since the decline reason is likely voided, i think it is prudent if i do another pass over the article to see if i can give some improvement suggestions. The first this i would suggest is altering the lead a bit. The lead should contain a short summary of the entire article, intended for people who just want a definition of the subject. Right now the lead is about 2-3 paragraphs worth of information - it is best to migrate that in the article body, and have the lead summarize the content (Example: Goes-R is a satellite network being created by the Nasa, which goal is to provide thisandthat. (Ect))
Another point i see is that the article often uses subjective or WP:Peacock wording, and sometimes promotional text. For example:
will improve forecasting quality and timeliness, generating significant economic benefits to the nation in the areas of public safety (Promotional, subjective). The spacecraft bus supports numerous subsystems (Peacock wording - Numerous is an opinion. For some 10 are numerous, for others 100 may be a small amount.) In order to create the most useful severe weather tools possible (Same issue as the last two).
This is actually rather prevent throughout the entire article, and honestly it isn't that surprising seeing the contact was copied from an external source. Encyclopedic texts tend to require a rather different writing style then other texts, and thus it is quite common for the above issues to arise.
As a third and final suggestion for the moment: The article could definitely use more Wikilinks. Right now only Goddard Space Flight Center is linked, but there are definitely more relevant terms to link. Just keep in mind that some people reading the article are novices on the topic, and might therefor appreciate a quick link to say, spectral band. As a final - try to keep external links such as the one to NASA and NOAA outside the main article body, and replace them with interwiki links. Generally taken external links are placed in a separate external links section (With the exception of references, such as the ones you cited).
GOES-R ( talk) 12:41, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
Hi,
I submitted an article for review on the subject of the book BELIEVENIKS!
The article was declined on the basis of the general notability of its subject and the lack of independent sources.
The book is the only one of the novels written by Jonathan Lethem that does not yet have its own Wikipedia article. Lethem is surely notable by any standard: multiply published novelist and essayist, New York Times bestseller, MacArthur Fellow, winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award, among numerous other distinctions. Moreover, the book's co-author, Christopher Sorrentino, is the author of several books, one of which was a finalist for the National Book Award.
In my opinion, these factors combine to bestow notability upon the article's subject.
As for sources, I'm looking for guidance as to what constitutes independence. One of the sources is an article that appeared in New York Magazine (certainly independent of the book, its publishers, and its authors), another is the book itself, via which assertions concerning its contents can be confirmed. I could really use some help determining what sources are necessary to undergird a brief article whose fundamental purpose is to describe a published book by a major contemporary author, with brief, and neutral, reference to its form and content.
Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.119.59.55 ( talk) 13:48, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

Hello. Why is a reference to an issued patent of the United States Patent and Trademark Office non-verifiable? I am the inventor. Can you please explain? Thanks, /A.J. Bayne/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Abayne ( talk • contribs) 01:08, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
"Lots of the information" - What information could not be verified? What information is untrue? "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article or stand-alone list." Who is better to discuss a topic than the inventor, author, composer, architect, etc.? Please advise. /A.J. Bayne/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Abayne ( talk • contribs) 05:04, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
I didn't see anything regarding who is the worst, best, etc. re writing about a topic. However, if it would address your concerns, I could include that I as the contributor, am also the inventor. "Editors with COIs are strongly encouraged—but not actually required—to declare their interests, both on their user pages and on the talk page of the related article they are editing, particularly if those edits may be contested." Also, the topic could be included under "cash advance", instead of a "stand alone" entry. I don't mean to take up too much of your time, but it is a new invention. Appreciate your guidance. /A.J. Bayne/ P.S. Also, the patent can be found in Google Scholar.
Thank you for touching up my article, the feedback, and creation!

You want me to make links to all these? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexkrem ( talk • contribs) 16:42, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
I also accepted this article. The town website is enough to support the material given, though more specific references are desirable. There is no need to prove notability , since all town are considered notable here. DGG ( talk ) 18:25, 5 August 2012 (UTC)
More generally, I am a little concerned you are failing to accept afcs that with a little effort can be made good enough for mainspace. If I can take the time to improve them, you can also. It just means working a little slower. Obviously we want to encourage good articles, but if it would not be deleted by afd, I think there is no reason to reject it. Editing can continue in the ordinary way. DGG ( talk ) 18:25, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi Gold Standard, I noticed you tagged Tania Libertad with {{GOCEinuse}}. Was that on my behalf, or do you intend to work on it? I listed the article on the drive page as my current target, but I haven't done anything with it; if you'd like to work on it, that's fine. You can reply here. Thanks, -- BDD ( talk) 17:53, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
Hi Gold Standard,

Hi,
I had previously submitted this article and several editors agreed that there were no issues with copyright infringement because the information came from a government source, which is public information (and incidentally, I wrote the content for that website so it's my own content I'm using). The only issues remaining were that the article did not have enough wikilinks and contained some subjective information and these issues have been corrected with this submission. Editor "Excirial" consulted with several other editors and they concluded that copyrighting was not an issue for this article due to the public nature of US Federal Government Information. I'm wondering why my article has been rejected based on an issue that was already resolved. I can send you my previous communications with Excirial if you'd like.
Thank you

Please see the response from Excirial:
Hello Michelle,
When i originally declined the article, it was because some sections appeared to be copy-n-pasted from external sources. Under normal circumstances US law dictates that copyright is automatically granted on all written texts, and is therefor always present unless the writer specifically waives these rights by releasing the text under a different license. Since Wikipedia is intended to be a free and open encyclopedia, it cannot accept any texts that aren't released licensed under GDFL or CC-BY-SA (or more lenient license).
Note that the key words in the previous section are "under normal circumstances", which was when i remembered reading that US Government works are often released in the public domain by default under PD / Government works. Since this is the proverbial exception to the rule i had to ask some other editors for their opinion regarding this (Since i am not an expert on copyright law), and general agreement was that the texts are indeed public domain and thus can be used (Voiding my previous decline concern). Do note neither me nor the other editors are specialists on copyright law, so i cannot give a guarantee on this issue.
Moving on to another matter - since the decline reason is likely voided, i think it is prudent if i do another pass over the article to see if i can give some improvement suggestions. The first this i would suggest is altering the lead a bit. The lead should contain a short summary of the entire article, intended for people who just want a definition of the subject. Right now the lead is about 2-3 paragraphs worth of information - it is best to migrate that in the article body, and have the lead summarize the content (Example: Goes-R is a satellite network being created by the Nasa, which goal is to provide thisandthat. (Ect))
Another point i see is that the article often uses subjective or WP:Peacock wording, and sometimes promotional text. For example:
will improve forecasting quality and timeliness, generating significant economic benefits to the nation in the areas of public safety (Promotional, subjective). The spacecraft bus supports numerous subsystems (Peacock wording - Numerous is an opinion. For some 10 are numerous, for others 100 may be a small amount.) In order to create the most useful severe weather tools possible (Same issue as the last two).
This is actually rather prevent throughout the entire article, and honestly it isn't that surprising seeing the contact was copied from an external source. Encyclopedic texts tend to require a rather different writing style then other texts, and thus it is quite common for the above issues to arise.
As a third and final suggestion for the moment: The article could definitely use more Wikilinks. Right now only Goddard Space Flight Center is linked, but there are definitely more relevant terms to link. Just keep in mind that some people reading the article are novices on the topic, and might therefor appreciate a quick link to say, spectral band. As a final - try to keep external links such as the one to NASA and NOAA outside the main article body, and replace them with interwiki links. Generally taken external links are placed in a separate external links section (With the exception of references, such as the ones you cited).

Hi,
I submitted an article for review on the subject of the book BELIEVENIKS!
The article was declined on the basis of the general notability of its subject and the lack of independent sources.
The book is the only one of the novels written by Jonathan Lethem that does not yet have its own Wikipedia article. Lethem is surely notable by any standard: multiply published novelist and essayist, New York Times bestseller, MacArthur Fellow, winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award, among numerous other distinctions. Moreover, the book's co-author, Christopher Sorrentino, is the author of several books, one of which was a finalist for the National Book Award.
In my opinion, these factors combine to bestow notability upon the article's subject.
As for sources, I'm looking for guidance as to what constitutes independence. One of the sources is an article that appeared in New York Magazine (certainly independent of the book, its publishers, and its authors), another is the book itself, via which assertions concerning its contents can be confirmed. I could really use some help determining what sources are necessary to undergird a brief article whose fundamental purpose is to describe a published book by a major contemporary author, with brief, and neutral, reference to its form and content.
Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.119.59.55 ( talk) 13:48, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

Hello. Why is a reference to an issued patent of the United States Patent and Trademark Office non-verifiable? I am the inventor. Can you please explain? Thanks, /A.J. Bayne/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Abayne ( talk • contribs) 01:08, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
"Lots of the information" - What information could not be verified? What information is untrue? "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article or stand-alone list." Who is better to discuss a topic than the inventor, author, composer, architect, etc.? Please advise. /A.J. Bayne/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Abayne ( talk • contribs) 05:04, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
I didn't see anything regarding who is the worst, best, etc. re writing about a topic. However, if it would address your concerns, I could include that I as the contributor, am also the inventor. "Editors with COIs are strongly encouraged—but not actually required—to declare their interests, both on their user pages and on the talk page of the related article they are editing, particularly if those edits may be contested." Also, the topic could be included under "cash advance", instead of a "stand alone" entry. I don't mean to take up too much of your time, but it is a new invention. Appreciate your guidance. /A.J. Bayne/ P.S. Also, the patent can be found in Google Scholar.
Thank you for touching up my article, the feedback, and creation!
