@ FRAIOLI73: this draft has a number of issues, but the reason why it was declined (not 'rejected', which would mean the end of the road) is insufficient referencing. There is content which is not supported by citations, and at least in one case the source cited doesn't seem to support the content.

I have read about COI. And I think people might find I am too connected to Ancestris to write about it. I am one of the volunteers for this program, writing the Dutch documentation there. I saw sofar no Wikipedia page for the Ancestris program existed. So I decided to write one or at least to write anything here. I am trying to be as objective as possible. So not advertising but just describe.

I take the Gramps page as an example (also a genealogy program) and that page is accepted, so if i try to do it the same way i hope its acceptable too. So I would appreciate if i can get some advise about how to proceed. Its still draft, because it misses a lot and many links should be added to make it follow the wikipedia standards.

Thanks for reading, Tineke Mother10 ( talk) 12:31, 13 June 2024 (UTC) reply

Mother10 Since you have read about COI, please make the needed disclosure. "Just describe" is a form of advertising, at least on Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a place to just tell about a topic. Any article about Ancestris must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the topic, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of notability.

You haven't submitted it yet, but if you were, it most likely would not be accepted, because it just tells about it, it doesn't summarize what independent reliable sources say about it. If no such sources exist, this topic would not merit an article. 331dot ( talk) 12:38, 13 June 2024 (UTC) reply

Thanks for the comment, I will try to follow what you said and read a bit more the articles you pointed to.

The only problem I have is that Ancestris is not so wellknown, so those sources might be difficult to find.

There is also a page in Albanian Wikipedia about it. https://sq.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luan_Mu%C3%A7a

Also this is the official website of Albanian Government that mention it in this article (16 February 2016): https://www.kryeministria.al/en/newsroom/politikat-fiskale-rritje-te-eksporteve-e-punesimit-per-bisnesin-e-madh/ Alban2024 ( talk) 07:16, 14 June 2024 (UTC) reply

@ Alban2024 I took a look at those sources and none of them are indpendent or reliable:

1. Company info, not significant coverage.
2. Written by Muca himself (see bottom), not independent.
3. Significant coverage, but seems to be a fake copy of Vox (the logos are different)
4. Seems to be a copy of the fake Vox source
5. Also seems to be a copy.

The government website isn't WP:SIGCOV either; it only mentions Muca once and is more about the company than him. Wikipedia in different languages have different notability standards, and the current sources do not establish notability here.

voxnews .al is an Albanian news website which write in English.

you can check tvkan or top-channel websites, those are the top media tv and websites in Albania.

Probably article is not written as it might be but I strongly believe that Luan Muca is an successful businessman in Albania, with a large contribution so I think it deserve an article page in English Wikipedia. (like Samir Mane or other Category:Albanian businesspeople

To be honest, Yes, I know him in person but I am not paid or asked for doing this. As someone which working on technology, (I work as software development, I don't have a lot of experience on Wikipedia) I thought it deserve a Wikipedia article like the other business people in Albania.

The fact that I know him in person, I don't think it is a problem. I have tried to write the article in a way not to be "promotion" but just to summarise the facts that are now public domains.

Please let me know if I am wrong? :) Alban2024 ( talk) 08:35, 14 June 2024 (UTC) reply

Alban2024 If you know him personally, you have a conflict of interest that you must disclose, see WP:COI for instructions. Not every businessman merits a Wikipedia article, and articles are not for merely summarizing facts. An article must summarize significant coverage of the person that discusses how the source sees the person as important/significant/influential as a person. Does this man have unique business strategies that have influenced others? Do independent sources discuss their impact on Albania? Things like that. 331dot ( talk) 08:54, 14 June 2024 (UTC) reply

Does this man have unique business strategies that have influenced others? Yes, correct, this is why I am writing the article. This is an example to follow

Do independent sources discuss their impact on Albania? Yes, They do!

Hi, This is my first time trying to contribute, can somebody tell me what is wrong with this article? It is a copy of the German version of the Wikipedia page. So I am not sure why it was rejected. It has all the reputable sources as well. Ali4abs ( talk) 13:17, 13 June 2024 (UTC) reply

@ Ali4abs: I can't tell you why it was declined for the reason that it was, but I can tell you why I would have declined it. The sources (which aren't cited correctly, and are just inline external links, but still) don't show that the subject is notable in Wikipedia terms. Per WP:ORG, we need to see significant coverage, directly of the subject, in multiple secondary sources that are reliable and independent. -- DoubleGrazing ( talk) 13:26, 13 June 2024 (UTC) reply

PS: Worth noting also that each language version of Wikipedia is an entirely separate project with their own policies and requirements. Just because an article has been accepted into one version doesn't mean it will be necessarily accepted into another one. The English-language Wikipedia has almost certainly the strictest criteria for notability and verifiability. -- DoubleGrazing ( talk) 13:28, 13 June 2024 (UTC) reply

First, thank you for the response. At least It is not more clear why a German version of the same entry can be accepted but not the english one. Can somebody ellaborate how I can show existence of a research institute with significant coverage? For example, In Germany we have many Helmholtz Assosciations. Out of 18 centers, 16 have Wikipedia entry in English ( /info/en/?search=Helmholtz_Association). I was trying to add the 17th association entry. So I doubt the reason is notability. Unless I am missing something here.

I did not know I was not allowed to do inline citation, I guess I have to read the citation guides carefuly then. Most sources are also very reliable sources at least in Germany? (sr.de (which is the public broadcaster of the state of saarland), helmholtz.de (which is homepage of Helmholtz Assosciation announcing the new center), saarland.de (which is the website of state of Saarland, literally official government page), IHK aka Germany Chamber of Commerce)). So I am not sure as a German, beside inline citation issue I could guess the sources are not reliable and therefore causes the rejection. Is there a guideline one what is a reliable source in Germany for English Wikipedia? Ali4abs ( talk) 14:38, 13 June 2024 (UTC) reply

@ Ali4abs, a few things:

1. RE: "I doubt the reason is notability" – just to clarify, this draft wasn't declined for notability reasons; I was saying that's why I would have declined it. And even I'm not saying that the subject isn't notable, I'm saying the sources currently cited don't prove that it is notable. It may well be, but this isn't evident. The evidence we need to see is described in the relevant notability guideline WP:ORG.
2. RE: "I did not know I was not allowed to do inline citation" – no, you are more or less required to do inline citations; you are not allowed to do inline external links, which is what you've done. You can reference the same external resources, but instead of just pointing to them with a link, you cite them using the appropriate citation template, eg. {{ cite web}}. See WP:REFB and WP:ILC for advice.
3. RE: "Most sources are also very reliable sources at least in Germany" – I'm not (necessarily) saying that your sources aren't reliable; I'm saying they don't meet the full criteria of a source which contributes towards notability per WP:ORG, namely being at once reliable, and entirely independent of the subject, and secondary (newspapers, magazines, TV and radio programmes, books, etc.), and providing significant coverage of the subject. In other words, reliability is important, but it isn't enough.

Whenever you're planning to translate from other language versions to English, the first thing you need to do is check that the sources in the original article are sufficient to meet our notability and verifiability standards, which are higher than in any other language version that I'm aware of at least. (Either that, or the original article may be so old that standards were more relaxed back when it was created.) If they aren't sufficient, you need to try to find more and/or better sources. If you can't, then there's no point in even starting to translate, as you're likely wasting your time. -- DoubleGrazing ( talk) 07:31, 14 June 2024 (UTC) reply
