- @Tarawade.Atul as you will have seen by now, the draft has been deleted as overly promotional — a common fate of attempted autobiographies, and one of the many reasons why they are not encouraged. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 05:33, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'm trying to get an article published however I am being told that my sources aren't reliable. However, my activity with the Grammy Award-winning artist Amy Wadge is everywhere. I wrote the song 'Just The Same' with her on her latest EP which is available on all major platforms, to which I am credited by the PRS and PPL. Everything else is difficult to source as my earliest releases were between 2003 and 2010.

- Hi @BCross2003, Wikipedia is based on reliable sources. A article needs to meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines (in this instance Wikipedia's notability guidelines for music) in order to have a stand alone article. Notability in general requires 2-3 reliable sources providing significant coverage to the subject. The two sources in the article (currently amazon and apple music) are not reliable. Justiyaya 06:53, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Also please read WP:conflict of interest Justiyaya 06:58, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- So do I just need to add another source on top of the other sources? Thanks for the reply btw BCross2003 (talk) 06:59, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- @BCross2003 you would likely need to declare a conflict of interest with the subject first (instructions can be found at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI). Then find two reliable sources (providing significant coverage) regarding the subject (a list of sources usually considered reliable can be found at WP:ALBUM/SOURCES). Then submit the article for review after adding the sources in. Justiyaya 07:05, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- @BCross2003 Unless you can show (backed up by reliable sources) that you satisfy the WP:MUSICBIO notability, of which there is currently no indication, then you will need to demonstrate notability via WP:GNG which requires significant coverage in multiple independent and reliable secondary sources. You currently cite no such source, therefore you need to add three or more.
- You also need to support every material statement by citing a reliable source. Currently almost the entire draft is unreferenced. See WP:REFB for advice. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:08, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Confusing stuff indeed! Does the fact that my name is clearly on the record title count for anything? BCross2003 (talk) 07:14, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- In a word, no. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:30, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- @BCross2003 Amazon, etc. just show that the music exists. Having co-written a song is not enough to make you notable in Wikipedia's definition, unfortunately. Notability for a musical artist requires, most commonly, that independent journalists have written about you (and not just from interviews with you). The blue word in a reply above, music, is a link with the notability guidelines. Please read that. It's a high bar. 71.228.112.175 (talk) 09:12, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- @Justiyaya, @BCross2003 I believe that Amazon and Apple Music are reliable, but not independent. Those blue words are clickable links; please read them. 71.228.112.175 (talk) 09:17, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Eh, you're right that it is not independent but likely reliable and using that would've probably made it clearer. I'll take note next time answering, thanks :D Justiyaya 11:26, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi there, just to let you know I have changed the citations which are now all reliable sources and clearly prove my involvement with Amy Wadge and my songwriting credits. I truly hope this helps.
- Many thanks,
- Benn BCross2003 (talk) 05:37, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- @BCross2003: I don't think anyone is doubting your involvement with Wadge; what we're trying to say is that that alone doesn't make you notable in Wikipedia terms. If that's your main musical achievement, then you don't meet the MUSICBIO notability test. There is also a general notability standard, GNG, which could justify an article, but that requires significant coverage (of you, directly) in multiple independent and reliable secondary sources. Your draft cites no such source. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:10, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello everybody,
after several declined admissions I now ask for help. Today I added two further exhibitions of the artist, a book that was published about his actual exhibition in the Lemke House and I changed the source of the german television weblink from a youtube-video to the original website of the tv channel (German TV "ARD").
Can you tell me, what the problem is, what I maybe I don't understand?
Thanks a lot.

I'm not sure why this has been declined, apart from the Personal Life section being light on sources. Everything else has been sourced to my knowledge, and I'm not sure what's missing or needed based on the "not adequately supported by reliable sources" feedback.
The Conflict of Interest page was also linked as an additional comment. I declared myself a COI before starting the article (I'm one of his grandsons) thinking it's the right thing to do, but are there extra steps I need to take because of that? Can I even write about him because it's a COI?
Thank you for your time.

- Content like “Baum is an avid golfer and remains true to his Cincinnati Reds. He also collects sweatshirts from colleges across the country.“ is not appropriate for an encyclopedia and being a classmate of Jerry Rubin confers zero notability. The personal life section has virtually no sources we cannot accept any content that you add from personal knowledge. Theroadislong (talk) 13:06, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- @Wstnharris I see that you took it out, but for future reference, mentioning Jerry Rubin doesn't tell the reader anything about Dave Baum. Cheers. 71.228.112.175 (talk) 09:23, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi @Wstnharris, there are several unreferenced statements in there — basically, if a paragraph doesn't have at least one citation, it's by definition unreferenced. Especially personal details and anything potentially contentious needs to be supported by a clear and immediate inline citation, see WP:BLP. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:09, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Why has my submission been declined for 'dumping citations at the end?'
These have not been dumped at all and having read multiple wikipedia pages I cannot understand why this one is being decline?
Many thanks for your response.
- Helenjbaileyauthor In a Wikipedia article, sources are provided in-line with the text, so it is known what sources source which information. If done properly, the actual sources appear at the end, but are placed within the text. Please see Referencing for beginners. 331dot (talk) 15:00, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- E/C It is hard to tell if your draft is original research or not, if the citations were placed directly after the content that they support it would make it easier to evaluate. Also please remember to sign your posts. Theroadislong (talk) 15:01, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Ahh ok thank you. I do know how to do this but thought you preferred everything sourced at the end. I'll cite properly and hopefully it will then be published. Many thanks! Helenjbaileyauthor (talk) 15:05, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,
I do feel I need to ask questions as this is one of many Television Personalty Biographies I intend to write. I just need help getting the format and cites down.
For the Biography of Ashley M Lands, I wanted to choose Another model & Tv Personality that had a similar career trajectory that also has a Wikipedia Page. I chose Ashley Graham, I have linked her Wikipedia page here for reference. Ashley Graham (model)
If you look at the current page I have written about Ashley Lands, I believe it is very similar to Grahams. If you look at Grahams page, it also includes references and statements I feel would be considered "puffery" as well her personal website is used to verify sources and cites.
If you can, which cites on this declined article of (Ashley M Lands) are not acceptable? IMDb is the most trusted source I found, so I chose to use it the most often as that is a verifiable media platform that lists Lands in the cast. Should I removed every single mention of her personal or owned website except listing it is her 'official website'? Also, I had previously used media articles and interview with Lands I found to tell more of a story of her career, but I was told the article did not "read like an Encyclopedia Entry". I am feeling jammed on what I am allowed to use.
Please Advise,
Charles (MTVSleuth)

- @MTVsleuth: The problem with aping an existing irrelevant/tangential article is that you're going to inherit the flaws of that article. As to your sources, refer to User:Jéské Couriano/Decode:
- We can't use IMDb, full stop (no editorial oversight). IMDb is a wiki, and while it claims to have editorial oversight, its fact-checking is hideously bad at best. You also do not need to source that she appeared in a work as long as she didn't take an anonymous or Alan Smithee credit. All the IMDb links are completely worthless.
- We can't use https://www.ashleymlands.com/news (connexion to subject, circular reference). Anything the subject controls is useless for notability in the first place, and circular references are academic blasphemy. All the ashleymlands.com links are completely worthless.
- We can't use https://archive.vogue.com/issue/20211101 (Incomplete). Use
((cite magazine))
and provide the page numbers, article title, and byline. And if you're literally just citing an advertizement, get rid of the cite altogether; we don't cite those.
- We can't use https://medium.com/authority-magazine/power-women-ashley-m-lands-of-stuff-oui-love-on-how-to-successfully-navigate-work-love-and-life-62701b8ecba0 (deprecated). Medium is not an acceptable source for Wikipedia, full stop. Even if this weren't on Medium, it'd be useless for notability (connexion to subject) as it is an interview with the subject; anything a subject says, films, writes, commissions, pantomimes, semaphores, interpretive-dances, etc. is useless for that subject's notability.
- We can't use https://www.thenealhamilagency.com/talent/ashley-lands?main_portfolio=talent-women&portfolio=talent-women (too sparse, connexion to subject). Content-free vital statistics from her agency.

I should also note the reality show appearance does nothing to help prove notability; we generally discount coverage of such and regard a player's run on those reality shows as something that cannot support a biography on its own, partly because reality shows present people at their absolute worst.
- https://www.monstersandcritics.com/tv/ashley-lands-on-double-shot-at-love-will-this-adrenaline-junkie-excite-or-scare-the-jersey-shore-bachelors/ is useless for notability (routine coverage). Coverage in the context of Double Shot at Love.

- If you want someone to give you glasses that view Wikipedia in rainbows and pastels, then my job is to break those glasses. I am not averse to pointing out if someone is actually citing good sources, but that is not the case here, and I am not going to hold back my criticism of a source (or sources) just because it hurts the feelings of the person citing it.
- As to the matter of "GeNZ and Millennials Media Personalities"[sic] the reason they're underrepresented on Wikipedia is because of the dearth of sources that report on them in the first place that Wikipedia can accept. Writing about them on Wikipedia is a daunting task in and of itself especially when we also have WP:Biographies of living persons (which has legal considerations and cannot be ignored) to consider. A reality show star is a textbook example of a media personality we shouldn't have an article on barring reliable reporting about events divorced from the reality show. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v a little blue Bori 19:28, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@MTVsleuth: The draft has been reviewed and declined thrice by three different reviewers, one of whom explained that imdb can't be used as a source, and there are comments on the draft from a fourth reviewer about the use of imdb as a source. Take that information to heart and remove all references pointing to imdb, and take the information in Jéské Couriano's thorough source evaluation to heart and remove all sources that are not reliable. At the moment there is no actual claim to notability in the article – a person doing her job isn't notable in itself. --bonadea contributions talk 20:01, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am writing a follow up as it pertains to articles I am writing.
I will once again reference this page (Ashley Graham) as this entire article contradicts my submitted pieces.
This week, I have been told I cannot use the following to verify a TV personality or Model:
- 1 IMDB film credits
- 2: Interviews with the person discussing their career
- 3: Digital Magazine References to Vogue (USA)
- 4: The persons personal website
- 5: Articles in Spanish (or other languages)
- 6: The models Agency website page (even though the original moderation stated that I HAD to add a current agency website that listed the persons name. They said this was an absolute MUST).
- 7: IMDB Runway show credits
- 8: YOUTUBE (even if the TV series/Podcast/set of Interviews were only on Youtube)
However, all the the aforementioned that are rejected to reference notability are all contained in the Ashley Graham Wikipedia.
At this time, I would like to rephrase my question as it seems as the rules are not applied to all media personality entrees: What type of cite should I be using to create pages about TV personalities and models?
Best,
Charles (MTVSleuth)
- Stop focusing on the irrelevant/tangential article that likely needs to be deleted in the first place and start focusing on your draft. Using another article as a yardstick, especially one that is blatantly tagged as having issues and which completely predates Articles for Creation as it exists now, is doing you absolutely no favours what-so-ever.
- We're looking for in-depth, non-routine, independent news/scholarly sources written by identifiable authors and subjected to rigourous fact-checking. Any reporting on her reality show appearances is considered routine coverage and thus useless. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v a little blue Bori 18:54, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia
But I do have coverage in independent sources, an article in the New York times and a long 7 page feature in American Artist. He also had paintings in the Metropolitan Museum in New York, the Corcoran in Washington DC, other museums and many private collections. I think that should qualify for an article.

Hi, I was trying to find out more about why this article was declined for publication. I specifically picked a challeging entry so I could see what was out there in order to better support the previous iteration of this subject. The user Gorutna stated the subject did not meet the threshold of notability, however this seems disingneous as they did not leave any specific feedback. That is counter to the mission of wikipedia to improve and grow topics of interest through dialog. Additionally Gortuna feels like a vandalism profile. Reading their (talk) page I get the sense that this account was started to take down articles at will since they were already blocked from commented .

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am contacting you in regard to a draft page Draft:NumXL, which was recently declined.
We have several mentions of the software in published papers, but as a tool in their research, not to document the software for-say.
Examples:
1. Sunitha Kumaran | (2022) Modelling the downside risk potential of mutual fund returns, Cogent Economics & Finance, 10:1, 2015084, DOI: 10.1080/23322039.2021.2015084
2. Return Based Risk Measures for Non-Normally Distributed Returns: An Alternative Modelling Approach
3. Seasonality of deaths with respect to age and cause in Chitral District Pakistan
4. Efficient Unsupervised Classification of Hyperspectral Images Using Voronoi Diagrams and Strong Patterns
Can this type of 3rd party publication satisfy the requirement for eligibility to be included in Wikipedia?
Thank you for your time, and look forward to hearing back from you.
