Hi Theroadislong,
Unfortunatory, limited to Japanese sources. I added three independent sources. Among them, one is from Japanese Wikipedia. I know it's not usually understood "unliliable," but the articles note is remarkable to show Takahashi's notablity in Japanese social work. Therefore I forced to put it as an independent source. Thank you very much for your review.
Best regards, IyataYada
It seems like we have reviewed at the same time. Would you like me to revert the move? – robertsky ( talk) 17:05, 6 July 2021 (UTC)
Hello Theroadislong, I've made some changes to my draft and I would like to ask if it now falls under NBAND. I'd say non-trivial articles on the subject of the article from NPR, Billboard, Radio France Internationale, and Time Magazine count to pass NBAND. Thank you, Roniius talk to me 17:50, 6 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi,
RD Sharma is best seller in mathematics textbook category in India since last twenty years. He is most popular name and have been covered by leading news outlets. There are numerous whole article on him so we can not say it is just a passing mention. In case of your doubt you can google.

Thank you for approving the article.
There are actually TWO Jacqueline Bishops now on Wiki: both are artists, while one is an artist and a writer. I'm wondering if both could be just
"Jacqueline Bishop" (NO "artist" after the name)
and that there could be a DISAMBIGUITY page so the user can select which one they want.
I'm also working on a couple of DRAFT entries; I have one up for approval--another New Orleans person. Can you take a look: Draft:HowardPhilipsSmith. Also working on Draft:Henri Schindler but not ready yet for review. Need to clean up some others. I was sick and could not get to them.

Could you explain to me how Draft:The Titan Spectator is not notable? I have provided 5 secondary, significant, independent and reliable sources. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] These articles are not trivial mentions. I think this coverage meets the guidelines of WP:ORGDEPTH. I guess i'm just curious what more editors here expect to meet this?

I see that you've at least opened my article, which I stupidly titled "Dr. Ellizabeth 'Betty' Hayes" (two Ls in Elizabeth) as I submitted it to Articles for Creation. Some questions:
a) Do you plan to review it soon? I was alarmed after I pressed the submit button and saw that wait times are as much as four months. Also, I just noticed that when my first article was approved four years ago, Wiki wrote me indicating that I don't have to submit further articles to Articles for Creation. Since you've probably got lots on your plate already—I see the tremendous number of articles you've reviewed—would you consider sending it back to me and telling me how to post it without review? Of course, I'd love to have your feedback, but if it's not necessary, I'm wasting your valuable time.
b) Also I need to know how to fix the name of the page, which I suppose should be just Dr. Elizabeth Hayes (one l, no "Betty") to match my text. I'd appreciate your thoughts on that unless you think I should post my question on the help page.
c) I have a photo, which I believe is now free. (It's a high-res scan from a 75-year-old magazine named Salute, which changed hands decades ago. The current publisher of Salute said his company does not hold the copyright for anything published in a 1946 issue.) I need to make my case that it's copyright-free. Should I ask the help people about this?

Hey! How are you doing? I just wanted to drop a message to get a few insights in regards to the draft on Oghalé. I came across the draft while editing other articles this morning. I saw that Oghalé had specified the conflict of interest so I decided to take a look. I was able to verify the sources and that they were credible. The National Portrait Gallery is a prestigious honour here in the UK. I checked for all the things that were listed as potential issues and addressed them. One of the most recent comments for the draft being declined mentioned that two of the sources were written by Oghalé himself. But I opened those sources and one of the states that it is written by the Editorial Director of the magazine Stephanie Wade. The other is directly from the National Portrait Gallery website and was written by Exhibition Director, Andy Horn. The tone of the writing in the draft is consistent with not only the other articles that are published here on Wikipedia, but also matches the tone of what is written in the articles. Here is an example ( Nadine Ijewere). That article which is published in a similar fashion has even fewer sources.
I do not mean to come off as rude and I hope I have not done so priorly. I just wanted to ask you some of these questions and see if I could get your insight and perhaps re-review of the draft.
Thank you for your time!
Hi — I was just looking at the Draft:Www.norton.com/setup in AfC, trying to figure out whether I need to reject it first or if I can request speedy without doing so.

Thanks for your comment! Actually, the content in the section titled "Main components" was retrieved from the 4th reference, which I cited in the picture's caption. I noticed that when I added the reference which has already existed, the draft still displays the reference as a new one. Therefore, I did not add any new references. I'm not used to Wikipedia editing. Could you please guide me on how to improve the paper?
Thank you!
Hello!
Thanks for taking the time to look at the draft and reviewing it. I was just curious as to what more could be done to get the draft approved. I could debate that he goes under the following:
"1. The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors."
He is recognized by his peers Arman and Venet in the draft and is recognized by art critics I mentioned as well and known in multiple countries which I believe is enough. I have seen other artists on wikipedia who have less references but somehow end up getting approved so I'm just a little confused. Thank you again for any feedback.

Replying kindly for Wikipedia page Roman Perez- /info/en/?search=Roman_Perez
I represent Mr. Perez, and have been working on his article page here on Wikipedia for 1-2 years now.
I received the notification that all of the hard work put into this might finally go to waste.
You accepted his page and now are asking for it to be deleted.
Roman is a public figure. He is verified on social media, and has all the credentials to be here on Wikipedia.
The guidelines for Notability sports person specifically says- American Basketball Association which is the ABA. Perez has played with 3 teams (bronx holy flames, team innovation and the harlem underdogs from 2013-19. Unfortunately those franchises have folded so their websites are not up for me to add on Wikipedia.
He also entered the nba draft in 2009 https://www.eurobasket.com/player/Roman-Perez/APBL/New-York-Black-Eagles/187107
Please take into consideration that he is notable. He has many articles on google and deserves a chance to be here.
I really appreciate your time and effort.
Regardless of the outcome,
Thank You,

Draft:Gopinath Ravi was multiply declined and a discussion took place with the creator here, whereupon, this morning, they pasted the draft material into an eponymous article, which awaits review. Given this history, I'd like to try a speedy deletion. I've never done this before, and am not sure whether lack of notability is a sufficient criterion for speedying. Would PROD be more appropriate? What do you recommend here?-- Quisqualis ( talk) 02:28, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
Hi Theroadislong,
Thanks so much for looking into the draft article I've submitted; Afripedia.
You have rejected the draft article and suggested I merge it with an already existing article: Afripedia Project. However, the subject of the article Afripedia I submitted and the already existing article Afripedia Project are not the same.
The already existing article Afripedia Project is an initiative organised by Wikimédia France, Institut Français, and the Agence universitaire de la Francophonie and "aims to expand offline Wikipedia access in French-speaking Africa, and encourage Africans to contribute to Wikipedia".
The Afripedia article I have suggested is a completely other initiative, a documentary series, as well as a platform that aims to bridge the gap of employment of diverse talents in creative industries across the globe. It is also run by different people and it is an active project, 2010-now, unlike the Afripedia Project.
Please see this discussion page here: /info/en/?search=Talk:Afripedia_Project
To clarify this ambiguousness, I have inserted the form indicating that the page should not be confused with Afripedia project.
I have resubmitted the article, please see if that solves the issue raised.
Many thanks,
User YNovakovic
Hi Theroadislong, thank you for you review of Articles for creation: Krilo Shipping Company. I created the wiki article to connect it via languages. The original wiki article is on Croatian language.
The submission was declined as it appeared to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Im reaching out to ask for your help on how to create articles on other languages and that they dont appear like an advertisement.

Hi Theroadislong,
I tried to improve the sources present in the draft page "Centre for Product Design and Manufacturing". Regarding the comment promotional: I think it is now less promotional and better cited than the page /info/en/?search=Research_Laboratory_of_Electronics_at_MIT
I do want to change the name of this page to "Centre for Product Design and Manufacturing at IISc"
Like to get your thought.
Thanks.
I have just accepted your speedy deletion nomination. It's mind boggling that the article has persisted in such blatantly promotional form for almost 14 years without anyone doing anything about it. Also, for over eight years it has been tagged as promotional, which is, I think, a fairly good illustration of how much good those tags achieve. JBW ( talk) 09:23, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
Hi.
Could you please clarify/elaborate which minimum requirements for inline citations are not met?
The article contains no direct quotations, no challenged statements or statements tagged with "need citation", no statements that are likely to be challenged, and no contentious material.
Nevertheless, article already contains 19 inline citations from 7 sources.
Finally, the article is a English language version (direct translation) of already existing foreign language Wikipedia page.
Could you please clarify which statements need citations or which citation requirements are not satisfied.
Thank you in advance.
Hmmm... here is today's wikipedia featured article - /info/en/?search=R._J._Palacio
It has awards without inline citations (in the Awards and Honors section) as well as Bibliography section without inline citations on any of the books, as well as other substantive facts without citation.
more importantly however none of these are included in wikipedia's "minimum standard for inline citations" which you cite. Nothing in here - /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Inline_citation#When_you_must_use_inline_citations says "all substantive facts".— Preceding unsigned comment added by Uzik01 ( talk • contribs)
That sounds fair, if any of these awards are challenged - you may remove them.
The existence of"poor quality" articles is a good argument that articles aren't supposed to be perfect, articles merely need to meet minimum requirements.
I will take your suggestions for article improvement under consideration, but in the meantime please cite direct violation of Wikipedia minimum requirements. Preferably, as a challenger, with corresponding burden of proof.
Sorry, no idea how to continue existing thread.
In the meantime, if existence of "poor quality" articles is indeed a matter of oversight, please cite a your source. Again demonstrating clear violation of Wikipedia's minimum standards for inline citation would be acceptable.
In the mean time I am challenging your statement citing the above mentioned Wikipedia policies as proof ( /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Inline_citation#When_you_must_use_inline_citations ). Article that satisfy minimum Wikipedia requirements are not disqualified for poor quality, in fact quality does not seem to be mentioned in the minimum requirements.
Feel free to judge the quality of the article, but please cite direct violation of Minimum Requirements - challenge a statement, cite a reason/source of the challenge.
Uzik01 ( talk) 20:47, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
I am simply a translator for this article. I did pass your suggestions to the authors of the original article. I suspect though this because to the Russian speaking audience these awards ARE the references, or if you prefer - these are self-referenced. "Laureate of the International Stanislavsky Prize" isn't just an award - it's an offline reference as well. More importantly though because the idea isn't to create a perfect article, not even replicate/translate existing one. The idea is to create an article and improve it based on feedback and challenges of people actually familiar with Shapiro's work.

Hi, Thereoadislong.
Your criticism of the article is that it only contains one source. However, would that mean that a huge portion of all Wikipeida articles, including respected ones, are in need of deletion? (Example: The Thief's Journal). Considering the size of the Wikipedia article, and the fact that it's still being edited, it seems like one source is all that is necessary for the meantime.
Why would you say investopedia “is not a reliable source” especially for the subject matter that was on my page. I do not believe this is a valid reason to reject an article.
I hit edit and saw your thanks. I am too slow. :) - hako9 ( talk) 07:20, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
Reference /info/en/?search=User_talk:Masterwork#Your_submission_at_Articles_for_creation%3A_sandbox_%28July_16%29 Propose new entry on KARL FIORINI. This entry, including the latest revision, has been repeatedly rejected. I am at a loss to explain why. The stock rejection - "This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article" - is frankly unacceptable. The facts about this person are brief and to the point, supported by references and bibliography. They speak for themselves: highly trained, long experienced, with a solid track record of performances, publications and recordings. Plus fifteen years working as a respected Artistic Director. I am familiar with several other entries pertaining to Maltese-born or Malta-based artists, whose merits are demonstrably less than Dr Fiorini's, as well as essentially locally focused rather than international. How can Karl Fiorini fail to qualify? No reasons are given. After over a year - with Wiki's critical reservations taken on board and implemented - I feel this matter of refusal now needs to be examined seriously, and if necessary taken to a higher level.

Hello,
I see that, in declining to accept the draft article "Draft:Joseph Ribas (French author)", you say that the submission's references "do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject".
Could you kindly confirm that, in reaching that decision, you took into account the "Note on sources" which I posted earlier at: /info/en/?search=Draft_talk:Joseph_Ribas_(French_author)#Note_on_sources?
Alan Mattingly ( talk) 17:38, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
On 15 July 2021, you wrote (above, in ' Draft: Joseph Ribas (French author)'): "other countries Wikipedia have quite different inclusion criteria".
It seems surprising that the criteria for publication of Wikipedia articles can vary according to the language in which they are written. This appears to mean that users of Wikipedia in one language may be viewing articles which are of a quality inferior to that of corresponding articles in other languages.
Yet Wikipedia is obviously a global "brand". All articles, regardless of language, seem to have a common format and appearance, a common (globe-like) logo, and a common domain name (wikipedia.org). Users might therefore be forgiven for thinking that all articles, regardless of language, are included on the basis of common, global criteria.
I don't underestimate the scale of difficulty in securing agreement on, and then enforcing, a common, global set of inclusion criteria. But shouldn't the adoption of global criteria at least be an aim? Perhaps it is. But I've searched, and I haven't yet found a statement to that effect.
(None of the above is meant to imply criticism of the criteria that are used for inclusion of Wikipedia articles in English.)
Alan Mattingly ( talk) 13:23, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
Thank you, I can assure you that it is reliable, especially for the subject matter as they have a team of specialists in the field that write articles all the time.

The notability guidelines mention that the biography of any person who has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in a specific field. The book she has written covers the 30 year long civil war of Srilanka. I believe the book can be considered a primary source and maybe also counts as Reliable source as her book has been published by respected publishing houses as well? The links to the book reviews serve as secondary sources, if I am not wrong? As per my understanding of the wiki guidelines, for independent sources, we have News media articles about her which also mention her profession as a journalist. There are links to news channels who published her introduction on their website. I hope this is a valid source too? I am just trying to learn and ensure I do not go wrong again in my understanding. Requesting your expert advise & help please! Thank you! ShravanthiRK ( talk) 10:41, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
I was hoping to receive feedback and a review on my submission that went further in depth than, "this reads like an advertisement." Frankly, I find that assessment unfair and inaccurate. I spent many hours compiling third-party sources that provided credible information about the company that requested this work (DiscountMugs), and followed a nearly identical format to another company already published on Wikipedia (see below).
I would appreciate greater clarification on issues that need to be addressed than the general message I received. The Bensussen Deutsch & Associates page follows a nearly identical format and tone to the one I submitted on behalf of DiscountMugs: /info/en/?search=Bensussen_Deutsch_%26_Associates

Good afternoon,
Thank you for reviewing my submission. I made an alteration to the sentence you left a comment on. Could you take another look please? My client is eager for this article to be published. Again, thank you for your time.
You said the article contained "inappropriate unsourced promotional puffery." Could you please advise which sections in particular need help? Does it need a complete rewrite? Your comment was very broad.

Hi Theroadislong,
Unfortunatory, limited to Japanese sources. I added three independent sources. Among them, one is from Japanese Wikipedia. I know it's not usually understood "unliliable," but the articles note is remarkable to show Takahashi's notablity in Japanese social work. Therefore I forced to put it as an independent source. Thank you very much for your review.
Best regards, IyataYada

There are actually TWO Jacqueline Bishops now on Wiki: both are artists, while one is an artist and a writer. I'm wondering if both could be just
"Jacqueline Bishop" (NO "artist" after the name)
and that there could be a DISAMBIGUITY page so the user can select which one they want.
I'm also working on a couple of DRAFT entries; I have one up for approval--another New Orleans person. Can you take a look: Draft:HowardPhilipsSmith. Also working on Draft:Henri Schindler but not ready yet for review. Need to clean up some others. I was sick and could not get to them.

I see that you've at least opened my article, which I stupidly titled "Dr. Ellizabeth 'Betty' Hayes" (two Ls in Elizabeth) as I submitted it to Articles for Creation. Some questions:
a) Do you plan to review it soon? I was alarmed after I pressed the submit button and saw that wait times are as much as four months. Also, I just noticed that when my first article was approved four years ago, Wiki wrote me indicating that I don't have to submit further articles to Articles for Creation. Since you've probably got lots on your plate already—I see the tremendous number of articles you've reviewed—would you consider sending it back to me and telling me how to post it without review? Of course, I'd love to have your feedback, but if it's not necessary, I'm wasting your valuable time.
b) Also I need to know how to fix the name of the page, which I suppose should be just Dr. Elizabeth Hayes (one l, no "Betty") to match my text. I'd appreciate your thoughts on that unless you think I should post my question on the help page.
c) I have a photo, which I believe is now free. (It's a high-res scan from a 75-year-old magazine named Salute, which changed hands decades ago. The current publisher of Salute said his company does not hold the copyright for anything published in a 1946 issue.) I need to make my case that it's copyright-free. Should I ask the help people about this?

Hey! How are you doing? I just wanted to drop a message to get a few insights in regards to the draft on Oghalé. I came across the draft while editing other articles this morning. I saw that Oghalé had specified the conflict of interest so I decided to take a look. I was able to verify the sources and that they were credible. The National Portrait Gallery is a prestigious honour here in the UK. I checked for all the things that were listed as potential issues and addressed them. One of the most recent comments for the draft being declined mentioned that two of the sources were written by Oghalé himself. But I opened those sources and one of the states that it is written by the Editorial Director of the magazine Stephanie Wade. The other is directly from the National Portrait Gallery website and was written by Exhibition Director, Andy Horn. The tone of the writing in the draft is consistent with not only the other articles that are published here on Wikipedia, but also matches the tone of what is written in the articles. Here is an example ( Nadine Ijewere). That article which is published in a similar fashion has even fewer sources.
I do not mean to come off as rude and I hope I have not done so priorly. I just wanted to ask you some of these questions and see if I could get your insight and perhaps re-review of the draft.
Thank you for your time!

Hello!
Thanks for taking the time to look at the draft and reviewing it. I was just curious as to what more could be done to get the draft approved. I could debate that he goes under the following:
"1. The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors."
He is recognized by his peers Arman and Venet in the draft and is recognized by art critics I mentioned as well and known in multiple countries which I believe is enough. I have seen other artists on wikipedia who have less references but somehow end up getting approved so I'm just a little confused. Thank you again for any feedback.

I represent Mr. Perez, and have been working on his article page here on Wikipedia for 1-2 years now.
I received the notification that all of the hard work put into this might finally go to waste.
You accepted his page and now are asking for it to be deleted.
Roman is a public figure. He is verified on social media, and has all the credentials to be here on Wikipedia.
The guidelines for Notability sports person specifically says- American Basketball Association which is the ABA. Perez has played with 3 teams (bronx holy flames, team innovation and the harlem underdogs from 2013-19. Unfortunately those franchises have folded so their websites are not up for me to add on Wikipedia.
He also entered the nba draft in 2009 https://www.eurobasket.com/player/Roman-Perez/APBL/New-York-Black-Eagles/187107
Please take into consideration that he is notable. He has many articles on google and deserves a chance to be here.

Hi Theroadislong,
Thanks so much for looking into the draft article I've submitted; Afripedia.
You have rejected the draft article and suggested I merge it with an already existing article: Afripedia Project. However, the subject of the article Afripedia I submitted and the already existing article Afripedia Project are not the same.
The already existing article Afripedia Project is an initiative organised by Wikimédia France, Institut Français, and the Agence universitaire de la Francophonie and "aims to expand offline Wikipedia access in French-speaking Africa, and encourage Africans to contribute to Wikipedia".
The Afripedia article I have suggested is a completely other initiative, a documentary series, as well as a platform that aims to bridge the gap of employment of diverse talents in creative industries across the globe. It is also run by different people and it is an active project, 2010-now, unlike the Afripedia Project.
Please see this discussion page here: /info/en/?search=Talk:Afripedia_Project
To clarify this ambiguousness, I have inserted the form indicating that the page should not be confused with Afripedia project.
I have resubmitted the article, please see if that solves the issue raised.
Many thanks,
User YNovakovic

Hi Theroadislong,
I tried to improve the sources present in the draft page "Centre for Product Design and Manufacturing". Regarding the comment promotional: I think it is now less promotional and better cited than the page /info/en/?search=Research_Laboratory_of_Electronics_at_MIT
I do want to change the name of this page to "Centre for Product Design and Manufacturing at IISc"
Like to get your thought.
Thanks.
I have just accepted your speedy deletion nomination. It's mind boggling that the article has persisted in such blatantly promotional form for almost 14 years without anyone doing anything about it. Also, for over eight years it has been tagged as promotional, which is, I think, a fairly good illustration of how much good those tags achieve. JBW ( talk) 09:23, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
Hi.
Could you please clarify/elaborate which minimum requirements for inline citations are not met?
The article contains no direct quotations, no challenged statements or statements tagged with "need citation", no statements that are likely to be challenged, and no contentious material.
Nevertheless, article already contains 19 inline citations from 7 sources.
Finally, the article is a English language version (direct translation) of already existing foreign language Wikipedia page.
Could you please clarify which statements need citations or which citation requirements are not satisfied.
Thank you in advance.
Hmmm... here is today's wikipedia featured article - /info/en/?search=R._J._Palacio
It has awards without inline citations (in the Awards and Honors section) as well as Bibliography section without inline citations on any of the books, as well as other substantive facts without citation.
more importantly however none of these are included in wikipedia's "minimum standard for inline citations" which you cite. Nothing in here - /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Inline_citation#When_you_must_use_inline_citations says "all substantive facts".— Preceding unsigned comment added by Uzik01 ( talk • contribs)
That sounds fair, if any of these awards are challenged - you may remove them.
The existence of"poor quality" articles is a good argument that articles aren't supposed to be perfect, articles merely need to meet minimum requirements.
I will take your suggestions for article improvement under consideration, but in the meantime please cite direct violation of Wikipedia minimum requirements. Preferably, as a challenger, with corresponding burden of proof.
Sorry, no idea how to continue existing thread.
In the meantime, if existence of "poor quality" articles is indeed a matter of oversight, please cite a your source. Again demonstrating clear violation of Wikipedia's minimum standards for inline citation would be acceptable.
In the mean time I am challenging your statement citing the above mentioned Wikipedia policies as proof ( /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Inline_citation#When_you_must_use_inline_citations ). Article that satisfy minimum Wikipedia requirements are not disqualified for poor quality, in fact quality does not seem to be mentioned in the minimum requirements.
Feel free to judge the quality of the article, but please cite direct violation of Minimum Requirements - challenge a statement, cite a reason/source of the challenge.
Uzik01 ( talk) 20:47, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
I am simply a translator for this article. I did pass your suggestions to the authors of the original article. I suspect though this because to the Russian speaking audience these awards ARE the references, or if you prefer - these are self-referenced. "Laureate of the International Stanislavsky Prize" isn't just an award - it's an offline reference as well. More importantly though because the idea isn't to create a perfect article, not even replicate/translate existing one. The idea is to create an article and improve it based on feedback and challenges of people actually familiar with Shapiro's work.

Hi, Thereoadislong.
Your criticism of the article is that it only contains one source. However, would that mean that a huge portion of all Wikipeida articles, including respected ones, are in need of deletion? (Example: The Thief's Journal). Considering the size of the Wikipedia article, and the fact that it's still being edited, it seems like one source is all that is necessary for the meantime.
Why would you say investopedia “is not a reliable source” especially for the subject matter that was on my page. I do not believe this is a valid reason to reject an article.
I hit edit and saw your thanks. I am too slow. :) - hako9 ( talk) 07:20, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
Reference /info/en/?search=User_talk:Masterwork#Your_submission_at_Articles_for_creation%3A_sandbox_%28July_16%29 Propose new entry on KARL FIORINI. This entry, including the latest revision, has been repeatedly rejected. I am at a loss to explain why. The stock rejection - "This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article" - is frankly unacceptable. The facts about this person are brief and to the point, supported by references and bibliography. They speak for themselves: highly trained, long experienced, with a solid track record of performances, publications and recordings. Plus fifteen years working as a respected Artistic Director. I am familiar with several other entries pertaining to Maltese-born or Malta-based artists, whose merits are demonstrably less than Dr Fiorini's, as well as essentially locally focused rather than international. How can Karl Fiorini fail to qualify? No reasons are given. After over a year - with Wiki's critical reservations taken on board and implemented - I feel this matter of refusal now needs to be examined seriously, and if necessary taken to a higher level.

Hello,
I see that, in declining to accept the draft article "Draft:Joseph Ribas (French author)", you say that the submission's references "do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject".
Could you kindly confirm that, in reaching that decision, you took into account the "Note on sources" which I posted earlier at: /info/en/?search=Draft_talk:Joseph_Ribas_(French_author)#Note_on_sources?
Alan Mattingly ( talk) 17:38, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
On 15 July 2021, you wrote (above, in ' Draft: Joseph Ribas (French author)'): "other countries Wikipedia have quite different inclusion criteria".
It seems surprising that the criteria for publication of Wikipedia articles can vary according to the language in which they are written. This appears to mean that users of Wikipedia in one language may be viewing articles which are of a quality inferior to that of corresponding articles in other languages.
Yet Wikipedia is obviously a global "brand". All articles, regardless of language, seem to have a common format and appearance, a common (globe-like) logo, and a common domain name (wikipedia.org). Users might therefore be forgiven for thinking that all articles, regardless of language, are included on the basis of common, global criteria.
I don't underestimate the scale of difficulty in securing agreement on, and then enforcing, a common, global set of inclusion criteria. But shouldn't the adoption of global criteria at least be an aim? Perhaps it is. But I've searched, and I haven't yet found a statement to that effect.
(None of the above is meant to imply criticism of the criteria that are used for inclusion of Wikipedia articles in English.)
Alan Mattingly ( talk) 13:23, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
Thank you, I can assure you that it is reliable, especially for the subject matter as they have a team of specialists in the field that write articles all the time.

Hi and thanks for your comment on my page for Denise Hunter. The article is currently under review. Are you the one reviewing it? That is, should I go ahead and edit or wait until the review is complete. Thanks! Writerspace ( talk) 21:04, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
Okay, I got your followup and see you are the one reviewing it. I'm happy to edit but may I ask for some clarification? On IMDB, she is one of only 2 writers listed for each of the 3 movies I list, so it's not like she's 3rd gaffer or something :) Should I not link to IMDB as a citation in that case? On the interviews, should all interview references be deleted or just the Q&A type? Writerspace ( talk) 21:08, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
I manage Denise Hunter's website. Where/how should I disclose that information? Writerspace ( talk) 21:17, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
In response to your comment I have edited the Early Life (to add citations) and Personal sections (to remove information unrelated to her career) Writerspace ( talk) 20:24, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

Really you should check google, Amazon, all major book sellers Book a Million , Barns and Noble etc, The Library of Congress, The Panama City Florida New Harald, I could go on but it seems useless. You still won't say what a reliable source is. But I am a author with 12 books to my credit. Sold in England, Australia, Japan. It's all out there and easy to find if you look. 2600:1700:2160:4A70:0:0:0:55E ( talk) 14:54, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
You added {{ Undisclosed paid}} to this when it was a draft. I have accepted the draft and am wondering whether to remove the tag. Did you have any evidence that led you to suspect a paid editor? ~ Kvng ( talk) 14:00, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
Hi! The re-submission of my article Draft: Padma Rao Sundarji has been rejected again. The cited sources do not have passing mentions but is about the person herself. The sources are either the work of the person herself that are published by recognised publishing houses or are links to write ups about her by news agencies. A couple of links are also from the well known news channels who have published a small introduction about her as their employee. Anyway, I have again changed the write up now. I request you to review the same and I also request your expert help in pointing out exactly what else I should remove or change in this draft before I submit it again, so that it can get accepted and moved to the live section this time. Thanks in advance ShravanthiRK ( talk) 07:59, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
The notability guidelines mention that the biography of any person who has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in a specific field. The book she has written covers the 30 year long civil war of Srilanka. I believe the book can be considered a primary source and maybe also counts as Reliable source as her book has been published by respected publishing houses as well? The links to the book reviews serve as secondary sources, if I am not wrong? As per my understanding of the wiki guidelines, for independent sources, we have News media articles about her which also mention her profession as a journalist. There are links to news channels who published her introduction on their website. I hope this is a valid source too? I am just trying to learn and ensure I do not go wrong again in my understanding. Requesting your expert advise & help please! Thank you! ShravanthiRK ( talk) 10:41, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
I was hoping to receive feedback and a review on my submission that went further in depth than, "this reads like an advertisement." Frankly, I find that assessment unfair and inaccurate. I spent many hours compiling third-party sources that provided credible information about the company that requested this work (DiscountMugs), and followed a nearly identical format to another company already published on Wikipedia (see below).
I would appreciate greater clarification on issues that need to be addressed than the general message I received. The Bensussen Deutsch & Associates page follows a nearly identical format and tone to the one I submitted on behalf of DiscountMugs: /info/en/?search=Bensussen_Deutsch_%26_Associates

Good afternoon,
Thank you for reviewing my submission. I made an alteration to the sentence you left a comment on. Could you take another look please? My client is eager for this article to be published. Again, thank you for your time.
You said the article contained "inappropriate unsourced promotional puffery." Could you please advise which sections in particular need help? Does it need a complete rewrite? Your comment was very broad.
