Good evening, thanks for your feedback. I am attempting to update for the Wikipedia page for DJ /Producer and label owner Jamie McHugh. Jamie featured on the biggest dance releases of 2008, 2009 and 2010 and regularly featured in the dance music press and featured as an artist on BBC Radio 1 and Kiss FM as well as DJing worldwide. He produced three commercial mix CDs and an artist album for Darren Emerson (Underworld) record label Underwater and mixed the Best of Underwater Records album. He also remixed the 50th release for CR2 records and was the first artist to release on their digital label. I have checked Wikipedia and artists with similiar or less notable profiles have been included therfore please advise how i can update this page. Variance1 ( talk) 03:07, 7 November 2023 (UTC)

- @ Mcashn: you can't; you achieve this by moving the draft to a different title. That said, you don't need to worry about the title at this stage, as if/when the draft is accepted it will be moved by the accepting reviewer to a new title in the main article space anyway. -- DoubleGrazing ( talk) 08:14, 7 November 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I do not understand how it states that this submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. I did submit all the necessary sources which according to your rules are reliable.
I am the granddaughter of Davoud Meftah, Athina Meftah (daughter of Soleiman Meftah), I wrote in my article a few extra pieces of information that are of course without specific sources, but my knowledge of my family.
Since it was the first time I worked on an article for Wikipedia, I did not have the experience and knowledge to understand the problem and resolve it.
I would appreciate it if you would be so kind as to help me.

I see that this page was declined, so looking for more guidance. While the news recently of Adam Johnson's death may seem shocking, Injuries to the neck, and by extension other parts of the body, by Skate Blades during on ice activities, are actually quite common. Some of the players on the page have died due to their necks having been cut by skate blades, aside from the aforementioned Adam Johnson. I hesitated to put if a player was deceased due to the injury, or for example how many stiches they needed. Perhaps this is needed information to obtain approval? I also hesitated to put any additional information regarding neck guards, e.g. neck guards have been mandatory in Canada since the deaths of a few players, as I did not want to make this a page about neck guards and as well, I did not want to dive into what parts of the world require neck guards, but perhaps some information is necessary? Unfortunately, skate injuries are not really similar to injuries in other sports, as well as injuries of other types in hockey. The page aims to show the prevalence and severity of these injuries, and not to draw comparisons to injuries of other types or other sports. We can say that surely some players have hard heart attacks while playing a sport, however it is hard to attribute that injury directly to the game. However, skate injuries are in no doubt literally caused by the equipment and players involved in those on ice activities. Thank you in advance for your time and feedback. 73.161.190.187 ( talk) 14:16, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
- I feel like this would benefit from more context, significance, etc. Now it reads like a list of people injured playing sports – immediately I find myself asking "so what?" I think each entry needs more details: to say that John Doe got injured in 1996 is one thing; to say that John Doe, an experienced professional player got injured in the World Champs final in his neck so badly (without going into too much gore!) that it ended his career, and may have lost his team the medal, is probably a bit more useful. Also, if you could find some sources which discuss the problem of skate-related injuries, perhaps some statistics, etc., and maybe what the athletes, clubs and governing bodies are doing to deal with this problem, it would help flesh out the draft. (I think in saying that I'm concurring with the reviewer also.) HTH, -- DoubleGrazing ( talk) 14:50, 7 November 2023 (UTC)

Hi, I see the request for providing more sources and in depth coverage of the topic I attempted to publish, however there is unfortunately no more information to provide. This band is essentially lost media, and practically no information exists on the internet. Yet, somehow, with the limited information I had access to, I believe I managed to write a reasonably in depth article. Even though this topic is small, I portrayed it to the best of my ability and all of my sources are credible and relevant. I really hope that we are able to give the article another chance, because it can really help bring the history of this little known band, and important aspect of Vundabar's(the band that resulted from this one) history to light. Thank you for considering my article. Orion's Toes ( talk) 17:03, 7 November 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I am seeking some guidance regarding the rejection of this draft. I believe I can address the concerns of notability (as written, the article notes events/product releases but not how those things affect the broader industry as a whole). However, if possible I would like some feedback on the sourcing.
I cited a number of digital archives of older printed journals and magazines and so I wonder if that is part of the issue? I tried, as much as possible, to draw style, source, and formatting examples from articles on companies of similar age/impact in the broadcasting industry. Any guidance would be appreciated.

- We don't want just mere quotes from him- there needs to be independent reliable sources with significant coverage of him that discuss what they see as important/significant/influential about him, showing how he meets the definition of a notable author. You've documented his media appearances and his work, but not said anything about how either makes him important/significant/influential.

The draft was originally declined for notability issues, then later was re-submitted by the original reviewer, and was declined again for WP:NOTNEWS (at least, I think?). I'll be honest, both comments, at least to me, aren't the most helpful, and I'm having a bit of trouble finding content that violates NOTNEWS. I'm not the most familiar with creating Wikipedia articles, and so I would like to be informed if any content violates that policy. Thanks! RO NIN 21:43, 7 November 2023 (UTC)

Greetings!
I see that the article has been marked as needing more sources. Would you prefer that we remove information so that we can expedite approval? It is imperative that we populate more Middle Eastern / North African / Southwest Asian performer pages with notable credits as it is an under-supported community on Wikipedia (see: status of Iranian sub-communities) and in the Entertainment industry wholly.
We do have some very solid sources from Letterboxd, Hollywood Reporter (Deadline), and more. It is also important to keep in mind that The Persian Version is a struck project - because of this sourcing can be sparce until after the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike.
We also have compared several existing pages for actors from different backgrounds / with similar resumés that pass the articles of creation and become published. Thankfully we are looking forward to ensuring this page will be adequately updated within all Wikipedia policies and furnished with even more sources. We just need to get the ship moving and send the page to publishing.
Thank you again for your note - please let us know what we can do to ensure the article gets published and we can continue to work on publishing articles on talent from this underrepresented community! Boohoolane ( talk) 23:01, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
- Hi @ Boohoolane! Thanks for coming to the help desk. The more pressing issue that I see is not the lack of sources supporting the information in the article, but rather the article's subject not meeting wikipedia's inclusion guidelines of two reliable sources providing significant coverage to the subject. While there are reliable sources, there does not appear to be coverage of the subject beyond a few passing mentions. I do not see notability in the subject at this moment with the sources in the article. Just i yaya 12:03, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

Also, if you could find some sources which discuss the problem of skate-related injuries, perhaps some statistics, etc., and maybe what the athletes, clubs and governing bodies are doing to deal with this problem, it would help flesh out the draft. (I think in saying that I'm concurring with the reviewer also.) HTH, -- DoubleGrazing ( talk) 14:50, 7 November 2023 (UTC)

- @ Dranutoshchakraborty: this draft has been rejected, and is awaiting deletion, as non-encyclopaedic. Wikipedia does not host how-to guides, promotional content, personal essays, polemic, nor does it promote pseudoscience, fringe theories and the like. This draft comes under more than one of those headings. -- DoubleGrazing ( talk) 15:04, 7 November 2023 (UTC)

Hi, I see the request for providing more sources and in depth coverage of the topic I attempted to publish, however there is unfortunately no more information to provide. This band is essentially lost media, and practically no information exists on the internet. Yet, somehow, with the limited information I had access to, I believe I managed to write a reasonably in depth article. Even though this topic is small, I portrayed it to the best of my ability and all of my sources are credible and relevant. I really hope that we are able to give the article another chance, because it can really help bring the history of this little known band, and important aspect of Vundabar's(the band that resulted from this one) history to light. Thank you for considering my article. Orion's Toes ( talk) 17:03, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
- Sources do not need to be online. If there are no more sources, there can't be an article about this band at this time. You may want to find an alternative forum with less stringent requirements to tell the world about this band. 331dot ( talk) 19:37, 7 November 2023 (UTC)

Hi, what is the problem with the article? The person in question is by far the most influential person in their field of research. The sources include articles from major German newspapers. How can I fix the problem. Many thanks in advance.
Gruppeder 9b ( talk) 18:26, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
- If they are influential, then you need independent reliable sources that state that and describe what makes them so. 331dot ( talk) 19:35, 7 November 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I am seeking some guidance regarding the rejection of this draft. I believe I can address the concerns of notability (as written, the article notes events/product releases but not how those things affect the broader industry as a whole). However, if possible I would like some feedback on the sourcing.
I cited a number of digital archives of older printed journals and magazines and so I wonder if that is part of the issue? I tried, as much as possible, to draw style, source, and formatting examples from articles on companies of similar age/impact in the broadcasting industry. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Hello! I am attempting to update my draft page for Sean Murphy's biography. I have included a lot of links to things he has written, but there are also several sources where other writers have quoted him in notable media platforms. Can you help me to understand why these do not qualify as external sources that would make him notable? Morganryan17 ( talk) 19:50, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
- To further elaborate, I know a few other authors, one of which being
Jenna Blum, who's page is similar. How is her page notable but Sean Murphy's page is not?

- Morganryan17 I think you linked to the wrong article; I've fixed it with a link to your draft article.
- We don't want just mere quotes from him- there needs to be independent reliable sources with significant coverage of him that discuss what they see as important/significant/influential about him, showing how he meets the definition of a notable author. You've documented his media appearances and his work, but not said anything about how either makes him important/significant/influential.

- ItsRaihanArifin I fixed your post to display a link to your draft(you had a statement which appeared as a link, which I moved so it doesn't).
- Beware in citing other similar articles to compare to yours- these too could be problematic and you would be unaware of this. See other stuff exists. If you want to use other articles as a model or example, use those classified as good articles, which have been checked by the community.
- Your draft does not summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the organization, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable organization. Not every organizaton merits a Wikipedia article, even within a field.

- Wikipedia doesn't care if a subject is real or not (we have articles on unicorns, fairies, and N rays). What Wikipedia cares about is whether a subject has been written about sufficiently (in reliable, independent sources) to ground an article. ColinFine ( talk) 12:22, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
The draft was originally declined for notability issues, then later was re-submitted by the original reviewer, and was declined again for WP:NOTNEWS (at least, I think?). I'll be honest, both comments, at least to me, aren't the most helpful, and I'm having a bit of trouble finding content that violates NOTNEWS. I'm not the most familiar with creating Wikipedia articles, and so I would like to be informed if any content violates that policy. Thanks! RO NIN 21:43, 7 November 2023 (UTC)

Roc0ast3r almost all the sources are dated in late January or early February which does not meet
WP:SUSTAINED. A short burst of new coverage does not warrant an article.

Greetings!
I see that the article has been marked as needing more sources. Would you prefer that we remove information so that we can expedite approval? It is imperative that we populate more Middle Eastern / North African / Southwest Asian performer pages with notable credits as it is an under-supported community on Wikipedia (see: status of Iranian sub-communities) and in the Entertainment industry wholly.
We do have some very solid sources from Letterboxd, Hollywood Reporter (Deadline), and more. It is also important to keep in mind that The Persian Version is a struck project - because of this sourcing can be sparce until after the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike.
We also have compared several existing pages for actors from different backgrounds / with similar resumés that pass the articles of creation and become published. Thankfully we are looking forward to ensuring this page will be adequately updated within all Wikipedia policies and furnished with even more sources. We just need to get the ship moving and send the page to publishing.
Thank you again for your note - please let us know what we can do to ensure the article gets published and we can continue to work on publishing articles on talent from this underrepresented community! Boohoolane ( talk) 23:01, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
- Hi @ Boohoolane! Thanks for coming to the help desk. The more pressing issue that I see is not the lack of sources supporting the information in the article, but rather the article's subject not meeting wikipedia's inclusion guidelines of two reliable sources providing significant coverage to the subject. While there are reliable sources, there does not appear to be coverage of the subject beyond a few passing mentions. I do not see notability in the subject at this moment with the sources in the article. Just i yaya 12:03, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
- While working on an underserved topic area is a noble pursuit, you still need to meet the sourcing requirements; there is no exception for underserved areas in that regard.
