  • Draft:Sergey Nazarov (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hi! I recently submitted a draft for Sergey Nazarov, which was declined with the reason that the references do not show that the subject qualifies for an article. (Draft:Sergey Nazarov)

Sergey Nazarov has received coverage in major publications, including Bloomberg, Fortune, ZDNet, MIT Technology Review, and more, which were cited in the draft. Some of these sources are already referenced on the Chainlink Wikipedia page.

I’d like to better understand: 1) What specific criteria or type of secondary coverage would help establish notability? 2) Are there issues with how the current references are used? 3) Would additional context around Chainlink’s impact be helpful, or is that considered out of context for a personal page?

Would be helpful for me to know how I can improve the draft. Thanks! 58.232.254.80 (talk) 07:36, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If you are the creator, remember to log in when posting. The whole url is not needed when linking to another article or page on Wikipedia, I fixed this for you.

You have just documented his work and activities- instead, you need to summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about him, showing how he is a notable person. "Significant coverage" is that which goes beyond merely telling what he does and goes into detail about what the source sees as important/significant/influential about him. You wrote that he attended an event hosted by Trump; what was said is the significance of doing so? Did he advise Trump about a particular policy or law, or otherwise influence the event? He co-founded a company- many people found companies, but what is said to be the significance of him doing so? That is what is being looked for. 331dot (talk) 07:44, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If you are not Ayush Pandey, you need to change your username immediately via Special:GlobalRenameRequest or WP:CHUS, as you cannot use his name as your username unless you are him.

The draft was pure promotion and has been deleted. The draft was competely unsourced with no indication he meets the definition of a notable person.

Hi @Zoe Upson. Your draft is pending deletion for spam. A deletion + reject may be a bit premature (pinging @Lemonaka), but the draft you have written is certainly promotional and very few of your sources verify the claims in the draft.

Please very carefully read Wikipedia:Autobiography which outlines why writing about yourself is a really bad idea on Wikipedia. Then very carefully read Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons to understand the criteria we require for sourcing articles about living people.

Let us know if you have any further questions. qcne (talk) 12:08, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What is the general nature of your conflict of interest? 331dot (talk) 13:41, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I’m a fan of Brighton RFC and have followed Oliver Simpson’s progress this season. I thought his journey, especially as captain at Portsmouth, college and semi-pro experience, and county-level selection meet the notability threshold for rugby players. I have no personal or financial connection to him, and I’ve tried to write the article with a neutral tone and references. Would appreciate any feedback or things I need to change. 188.39.66.253 (talk) 13:50, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe I have missed a reply, but has what I put given you context? 188.39.66.253 (talk) 07:49, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Merely being a fan would not be a conflict of interest, unless you are associated with the team or Mr. Simpson in some way(such as by editing at their request).

Much of the personal life section is unsourced; claims like "He is known for his ever-changing hairstyles, which have become a fixture of his on and off field image" need a source- as does other parts of the draft like "a pattern that has echoed Simpson’s curious knack for personal honours amid collective misfortune.". 331dot (talk) 08:25, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You also cite the website of the business he works at, but nothing on their website mentions him that I could see, at least. 331dot (talk) 08:26, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @AzaJones. Writing a Wikipedia article is very challenging, and probably the most difficult task a new editor can do! I am not surprised you are not finding it straightforward. Our rules on biographies state that every single piece of biographic information must be verified by a reliable, published, source with an in-line citation. Large parts of your draft have no citations at all. If there are no reliable, published, sources for the information in your draft, that information must not be include. qcne (talk) 15:25, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I am requesting help regarding the article draft for Select VoiceCom (SVC), which was recently removed. I believe the subject meets Wikipedia’s notability guidelines based on its contributions to the BPO industry in the Philippines, credible sourcing, and industry recognition. I would like to understand what specific areas fell short—whether in sourcing, tone, or structure—so I can revise and resubmit the article properly. I’m open to suggestions and willing to make the necessary improvements to meet Wikipedia's standards. Any guidance or restoration for improvement would be appreciated. Johnny Prey (talk) 15:01, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Johnny Prey. Please don't write comments using AI chatbots. Your draft was declined because it did not provide evidence of meeting our criteria at Your, plus was very obviously written by an AI chatbot. Your draft is little more than an advertising brochure for the company. We're not interested in being an advertising platform for the company: we want to see what independent, mainstream secondary sources have to say about the company through some sort of in-depth critical coverage.

Again, please do not use AI to write on Wikipedia. qcne (talk) 15:22, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The French Wikipedia is a separate project, with its own editors and policies, so what is acceptable there is not necessarily acceptable here.

I think it is mostly the tone that causes it to read like an advertisement; this may be because it is a translation. 331dot (talk) 17:45, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @331dot, thank you for your answer. Well noted.

Hello, I am puzzled as to why this article was declined. I just need more specific information. Mr. Condit is not a world leader, but he has been a local leader in media for 30 years, in charity concert promotions, and most recently in the campaign to get Pete Rose into the hall of fame. He even worked on a Presidential campaign in 1996 although we are still searching for references which, at this distance from the event, are hard to find. Still, I wonder why John Jeffrey Condit is not considered a notable person. Can you help me with more specific reasons and give me some more insight as to how I might help hiim quality for the Wiki standards? (Thomaseuteneuer is preparing the article.) Thomaseuteneuer (talk) 17:04, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Thomaseuteneuer: because 'notability', which is the reason why this draft was declined, in the Wikipedia parlance does not mean being famous or having done a lot of stuff or having got one's face and name about or even having worked on a presidential campaign; it means (in most cases, per the general guideline WP:GNG) having been significantly covered in multiple secondary sources that are reliable and independent. This excludes anything where he is being interviewed or commenting on things, passing mentions, routine reporting such as career moves, as well as anything based on press releases or other such publicity materials.

Dear DoubleGrazing,

Thank you for your clarification and for pointing out that the draft I linked – located at User:S.Aslani2025/Sandbox – has already been reviewed and rejected.

To help me address the issues and improve the submission, could you please share more details about the reasons behind its rejection? For example:

• Were notability concerns cited? • Was the issue insufficient reliable sources? • Or was it flagged for conflict-of-interest?

I want to ensure the article adheres fully to Wikipedia’s policies. I am prepared to:

1. Add high-quality, third-party references (such as UNESCO, academic publications, press coverage). 2. Reformat the article for encyclopedic style. 3. Disclose any potential COI clearly in the talk page.

Any specific guidance or examples you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Your assistance is incredibly helpful as I work to align the draft with Wikipedia’s requirements.

Thank you again for your time and support.

@Bdblakley29: How does one define "most disturbing"? Is it due to sheer painfulness? Is it for disturbing sexual content? Is it for naked political heterodoxy or for affecting impressionable minds?

Bdblakely29 That's not true at all(or the books wouldn't have been written in the first place). Nothing is universal.
