02:42, 19 October 2024 review of submission by Prof. Chrishantha

edit

Why is this not published Prof. Chrishantha (talk) 02:42, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Prof. Chrishantha: it was declined for the reasons given in the decline notice and the accompanying comment, have you read them? The reviewer found insufficient evidence of notability. Also, this is a promotional autobiography structured effectively as a CV/resume, and Wikipedia does not publish such content; for that, you will need to find a different platform such as LinkedIn. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:33, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The doctor is a notable figure in India. What changes I can do to get this approval Sajidtariq (talk) 10:51, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is nothing you can do, it was rejected and now deleted. 331dot (talk) 12:14, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

11:19, 19 October 2024 review of submission by Ivanovich24

edit

I wrote to The Garden Trust regarding no Wikipedia presence and advised to me that I could create a page from their blog. I do not believe blogs are copyrighted and the information is freely available to anyone performing a web search. I quoted the source but if this is not acceptable, so be it. BUT I will cancel my monetary support if this is not rectified as I see no incentive to continue. Ivanovich24 (talk) 11:19, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We don't create articles by copying and pasting content, blogs are not reliable sources and canceling your monetary support is an irrelevant pointless threat. Theroadislong (talk) 12:07, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Ivanovich24: copyright arises automatically upon creation, and does not need to be claimed, registered or otherwise asserted. We therefore assume that unless there is a clear indication to release content from such copyright (eg. by explicitly licensing it under Creative Commons or similar terms), copyright applies. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:08, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Donations are collected by the Wikimedia Foundation, which just operates the computers Wikipedia is on. We editors have nothing to do with donations, and making or withholding them has no impact on content. You are free to donate or not donate as you see fit. 331dot (talk) 12:09, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And the mere fact that something is public on the internet does not mean that it is free of copyright. 331dot (talk) 12:12, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The Garden Trust, like many people, are ignorant of how Wikipedia works. Neither their approval nor their blog is of any relevance at all to a Wikipedia article.
In order to create an article about a subject, you must first establish that the subject meets Wikipedia's criteria for notability, normally by collecting several source which are reliably published (so, not blogs, wikis, or social media), independent (so, not written, published, commission, or containing the words of, the subject or anybody associated with the subject), and containing significant coverage of the subject (not just passing mentions) - see WP:42 for details.
Then, if you have found several such sources, you write a summary (in your own words) of what those independent sources say about the subject. Wikipedia has little interest in what the subject of an article says or wants to say about themselves, or what their associates say about them. Wikipedia is almost entirely interested in what people who have no connection with the subject, and who have not been prompted or fed information on behalf of the subject, have chosen to publish about the subject in reliable sources. If enough material is cited from independent sources to establish notability, a limited amount of uncontroversial factual information may be added from non-independent sources.

14:29, 19 October 2024 review of submission by Ysudeesh

edit

I had tried creating this page and it was rejected. I am not able to understand why. Gopikrishnan is a very famous poet in Kerala, India and I had referenced most of the awards he had received to news sites. Thanks! Ysudeesh (talk) 14:29, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ysudeesh: I declined (not 'rejected') the draft because there is insufficient evidence of notability, and most of the information (apart from the 'Awards' section) is unreferenced. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:32, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ysudeesh (ec) I fixed the link to your draft, you need the "Draft:" portion when linking it. The good news is that your draft was declined, not rejected. Rejected has a specific meaning in the draft process, that a draft may not be resubmitted. Declined means that it may be resubmitted if you can address the concerns given.
The awards you list do not contribute to notability as they lack articles themselves(like Nobel Peace Prize or Academy Award). Most of your sources seem to just document the awards, and are not signficant coverage of this person. A Wikipedia article summarizes significant coverage of a topic found in independent reliable sources. 331dot (talk) 14:34, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

edit

I update the paragraph data, please check and help me for publish. Thank You Masterstrock1 (talk) 16:17, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Masterstrock1, my rejection from May still stands. This is not a viable article. Please find something else to write about. Qcne (talk) 16:18, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Your edit here [1] added even more promotional content. There are also no independent reliable sources so zero chance of being accepted. Theroadislong (talk) 16:22, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

notability Qcne (talk) 19:30, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Specifically, you haven't provided even a single source that is reliable and independent, which is what you need to write an article on a subject. YouTube and IMDB are not proper sources to establish notability, nor is an anonymous Medium blog that appears connected to the subject (and from the similarity in handles, possibly yours). The remaining citations also seem connected to the subject. CoffeeCrumbs (talk) 20:02, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

20:07, 19 October 2024 review of submission by Hjijk

edit

Hi! I would like to clarify why this page was declined, in order for better submissions on my part in the future. Thank you! Hjijk (talk) 20:07, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed your link, you need the "Draft:" portion. 331dot (talk) 20:10, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You have only summarized her routine activities, not significant coverage in independent reliable sources that indicates how she is a notable person. 331dot (talk) 20:12, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
