27.33.47.61 (talk) 02:05, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
We have been advised that we need to provide additional material to substantiate what has been written in our article. We have provided references to Annual Reports of the organisation which have been submitted on a regular basis to the Parliament of Australia (up until 1974) and then to the Parliament of Papua New Guinea. Our organisation is not like the World Bank - there are not a large number of references to it in literary circles or research done into it so finding material other than these reports to substantiate our information is not realistic. The organisation ceased to exist in 1982 when it was replaced by The Agricultural Bank of Papua New Guinea so there is nothing to be gained for the organisation in providing an optimistic review of its operations. Similarly, we have not provided the names of any number of staff who could then go and promote themselves through reference to this article. Almost all staff who worked with the Bank up to 1982 are now retired so they are not in a position where they wish to use their experience in working with the Bank to gain financial benefit or improved employment prospects. We are unable to find supporting documentation of any note and still wonder why, when the article was originally accepted, that there was a further review of it and all these questions raised when we just added a photo to the article earlier this year.

- Hi WIKIDYM. Most of your concerns about Draft:Papua and New Guinea Development Bank were addressed here. Articles created directly in mainspace, as National Development Bank of Papua New Guinea was, bypass the review and acceptance process here at Articles for Creation. If those articles don't accord with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, that fact may go unnoticed for a while. --Worldbruce (talk) 15:41, 15 August 2017 (UTC)

How do i remove Thumb? "the 'thumb' bit in infobox images. "
Thanks
- Hello, Pierre. Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. I fixed the infobox image for you but, in the process, noticed that some of the information in it wasn't sourced. The reviewer might expect you to either source that information or remove it. For what it's worth, I don't think an infobox is necessary, given that the article is relatively short. But that's your call to make. Good luck with it. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. NewYorkActuary (talk) 14:05, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
I am writing to ask what I can do to make my subject a notable person.
My article has been rejected due to the submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Since the rejection I have gone though and removed what I believe are inadequate references. What is left is a book written on the subject, Kamran Khavarani by art historian Albert Boime and a few articles. Is this enough? From my understanding these references follow Wikipedia's guidelines. If there are ones that are not good, which ones should I remove?

- Hello, Corey. Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. Your draft suffers a great number of defects, so many that I think it unlikely that anyone here will want to take on the job of re-writing it for you. You really ought to work through our WP:Tutorial, which will provide you with the basic techniques that are need when crafting an acceptable article. As you work through the Tutorial, pay special attention to the sections on Links and Citing Sources. You might also want to read WP:MUSICBIO, which lists the various criteria that we use when assessing the notability of a musician. My quick look at your draft suggests that the subject meets none of them. If I'm wrong about that, you should be prepared to show which of those criteria are met by the subject and which references back up that claim. I hope this response is helpful. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. NewYorkActuary (talk) 21:10, 15 August 2017 (UTC)

It's been a long tie since I submmited the article. Ghani Jafar Malik has passed away. He was a great writer and author. I would like to know how I can bring this man on Wikipedia. Thanks. MasrorHausen 19:53, 15 August 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Masrorhausen (talk • contribs)
- Hello, Masrorhausen. Thank you for your interest in Wikipedia. As best I can tell, you never submitted your draft for review. I've gone ahead and placed a "submission" template that you can use when you think your draft is ready for review (just click the "submit for review" button at the bottom of the box). But before you do, be aware that most reviewers will consider your draft to be undersourced. I didn't take a close look but, from what I saw, most of the material in your draft is not being cited to any specific reference. You probably want to work on that a bit more before submitting it for review. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. NewYorkActuary (talk) 21:01, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
- @Masrorhausen: In addition to User:Masrorhausen/sandbox from 2013, there was an abandoned Draft:Ghani Jafar Malik that was deleted in May 2015. If you wish to resurrect the latter and continue improving it, follow the instructions at WP:REFUND/G13. --Worldbruce (talk) 22:38, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
