02:26, 17 May 2024 review of submission by Sarvadas01[edit]

All the references given how to do it properly> Sarvadas01 (talk) 02:26, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sarvadas01, nothing written by Mishra himself helps to establish his notability. LinkedIn is not a reliable source. The YouTube channel is not a reliable source. Medium is not a reliable source. What is required is significant coverage of Mishra in several reliable sources that are entirely independent of Mishra. Cullen328 (talk) 02:58, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is it okay? MaribelCasey178 (talk) 06:04, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@MaribelCasey178: "is it okay?" Well, no, it's not.
When your draft (such as it is) gets declined for lack of notability and lack of referencing, you do not simply resubmit it; that is unhelpful, as well as rather annoying. You address the decline reasons.
In any case, a single sentence stating that someone is an actor and model (plus another sentence stating what they're not) is not a viable article draft, it is not even a viable stub of a draft.
Develop the draft further and add evidence of notability, either per WP:GNG or WP:NACTOR, and I'll consider reverting my rejection. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:12, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Steps to create an article successfully.
  1. Find several sources each of which is reliable, wholly indepedent of the subject, and contain significant coverage of the subject (see WP:42 for more detail).
  2. If you cannot find at least three such source, give up on this subject. Any further time you spend on it will be waste.
  3. If you can find them, then forget everything you know about the subject, and write a neutral summary of what the sources say. Wikipedia has no interest in what you know (or what I know, or what any random person on the internet knows) about the subject: it is only interested in what reliable sources say.

09:50, 17 May 2024 review of submission by MorriconeEnnio[edit]

I received a notability rejection for my article Draft: Nenad Vorih. I read the policy carefully and edited the text to reflect source which demonstrate the person (artist) meets the following requirements of the policy. I note that in addition the artists meets multiple criteria under the policy and only one is required to fulfill notability under the policy. Vorih is 1) widely cited by peers; AND 2) known for originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique; AND 3) such work must have been the primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews


That he meets these three points under the notability policy should be evident from the text of the article and the references cited to support the text. I am completely at a loss to understand the basis for the rejection or how to address it. Even more sources?? MorriconeEnnio (talk) 09:50, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

MorriconeEnnio Note that it was declined, not rejected. "Rejected" has a specific meaning in the draft submission process, that a draft may not be resubmitted. Declined means that it may be resubmitted.
More sources will not necessarily help, unless they provide information not currently present. Keep in mind that what is completely clear to you may not be to others. If you feel that the reviewer missed something, please discuss it with them. Several of your sources are in different languages that reviewers likely do not know. It's okay to use such references, but you may need to help us understand what they say. 331dot (talk) 10:40, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you so much for your clarification! That indeed may be the issue. I did reply to the decliner. Perhaps he will respond so I can clarify his concerns. Much appreciation for your response. MorriconeEnnio (talk) 13:13, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

12:34, 17 May 2024 review of submission by Masterstrock1[edit]

Kindly suggest / correct me how can I submitted as per your guidelines and if you can correct my article, then please do. Masterstrock1 (talk) 12:34, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Masterstrock1 This draft has been declined twice with reasons given. Please explain where you do not understand what has been explained to you 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 13:37, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Masterstrock1 I have rejected your draft, it will not be considered further. Qcne (talk) 14:03, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Masterstrock1: Your sources are, in order, Apple Music/iTunes, Gaana, a lyrics site, and a music video on Youtube. None of them are any good as sources. We're looking for in-depth, non-routine, independent-of-the-subject news/review sources that discuss the subject at length, have identifiable authors, and are subject to rigourous fact-checking and similar editorial processes. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 16:02, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

21:58, 17 May 2024 review of submission by MJJdeG[edit]

I need a helping hand. It's getting too complex for me. MJJdeG (talk) 21:58, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What specifically would you like help with? We're not really here to be co-editors, but we can answer your questions.
What is your association with this school or its director? You took a picture of him and he posed for you. 331dot (talk) 22:25, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

22:35, 17 May 2024 review of submission by DerekE9831[edit]

Hello! I'd like to ask for an additional set of eyes to take a look at the Draft:Trevor David Rhone. I think Rhone's research on 2 dimensional magnetic materials has had a  significant impact in his field, and he also received recognition from the American Institute of Physics and the National Society of Black Physicists. I think he satisfies notability for the first and possibly second notability criteria for academics, but any additional feedback is appreciated. DerekE9831 (talk) 22:35, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
