06:31, 22 May 2024 review of submission by 2402:E000:51D:C1D3:0:0:0:1[edit]

I have citation added. 2402:E000:51D:C1D3:0:0:0:1 (talk) 06:31, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This draft has been rejected and will therefore not be considered further.
In the future, it would great if the citations you add actually supported something in the draft, or even just were in any way related to it. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:38, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've had a look at the draft, the deleted page and other parts.
Unfortunately, I can't see the rules around if someone is notable enough for an article being met here on the current sources avaliable online. Sorry. Mdann52 (talk) 07:05, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Editorharpsweetrolls we cannot cite IMDb, as it is user-generated. (see WP:IMDB for more info) We also cannot cite Medium, as it is a blog-hosting service. The draft needs more sources about Poonia himself, not just the movies he acted in, especially when it's a small role like 'Guest'. (see WP:NACTOR) Nothing 'needs' to be accepted. This isn't a race.

What is acceptable?? 49.36.111.50 (talk) 11:24, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Drafts that meet notability guidelines. Also, please log in when editing. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talkcontribs) 11:25, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Editorharpsweetrolls: Refer to my /Decode subpage (linked in my signature as "critiques"):
We literally can use none of your sources. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 17:24, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This sounds like WP:TOOSOON. ColinFine (talk) 20:31, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

19:30, 22 May 2024 review of submission by Alearzrsm[edit]

Hello, I have seen my draft declined for the Hybrid Practice band, but I have added a lot of information especially taken from the Encyclopedia Metallum Music Archive online. Furthermore, I am the founder of the band itself, so I can clarify further things if you need to know. Please let me know what to do. Alearzrsm (talk) 19:30, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Alearzrsm, as the founder of the band, you have a glaring conflict of interest. You must make the mandatory Paid contributions disclosure. Encyclopaedia Metallum consists of user-contributed content and is not a reliable source on Wikipedia. Vast swathes of your draft are unreferenced, which violates the core content policy of Verifiability. Your other references are not independent. The repeated red links are bizarre, distracting and unnecessary. Your draft fails to make the case that this is a notable band. Cullen328 (talk) 19:45, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, Alearzrsm. Like many new editors, you have plunged straight into the challenging task of creating a new article without first acquiring the necessary skills - this is likely to lead to a great deal of frustration for you and others.
I always recommend new editors to spend (at least) several weeks making improvements to existing articles and learning how Wikipedia works before even trying this. Once you have understood fundamental principles such as verifiability, reliable sources, neutral point of view, and notability, then is the time to read your first article and try it - not before.
The fact that you are the founder makes it even harder to write an article - the thing to remember is that not one thing that you or your colleagues say or want to say about the band is relevant to the article, unless it has also been said by somebody completely unconnected with you (and not quoting you) and published in a reliable source; and that not one thing that you know about the band should go in the article, unless it has been published in a reliable source.
Basically, you will need to find several sources completely independent of you and the band, which contain enough material about the band to base an article on; and then you will need to forget everything you know about the band, and write a summary of those sources. Do you see why it is difficult to write with a conflict of interest? ColinFine (talk) 20:57, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
