Obobson created an article on the current Earl of Effingham and the page was moved to draftspace by SunDawn. I think that the submission should be accepted and the page moved to mainspace, because the Earl is presumed to be notable under WP:POLITICIAN as a member of the House of Lords, which is a national legislative body. In addition, there are articles on all other current members of the House of Lords in the mainspace.

Hello, I am new to Wikipedia and trying to publish an article about the brand Boredwalk and their Grievance Journal. Can you please provide me specific feedback so that I can get this article up on the site? What needs to be changed?

Hi there,
I wanted to start contributing to wiki efforts and start creating pages that do not exist or editing existing ones. I am not exactly sure why my first page was not accepted and it says that isn't in-depth when there are pages regarding similar topics with simply 2 sentences on the page. The page have been structured as per Wikipedia guidances and references have been provided. I am not exactly sure what else should be done, as there's not much more data to be included on that specific page and I prefer not to write things that might not be true or not 100% confirmed.
Please do let me know how this draft could be improved, as I do have a few more similar topics almost ready to go.
Best Regards.

I am confused about the state of the 'Steuart Padwick' page. I have submitted a number of changes over the years, each time trying to address the reason for rejection. Then in the middle of last year got a rejection saying 'not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia'. Since that time the breadth and importance of the work Steuart Padwick gets involved in has increased hugely, and I have therefore added that. I have also tried to tighten down on the words. What I don't know now is what the outcome of those changes have been? Have they been seen?

I need advice on what kinds of references are acceptable. I have changed the references multiple times and believe they all represent third-party sources but the article continues to be rejected. Thank you.

I am requesting a re-review of the Kevin Creekman article as I have taken your advice and made updates to showcase Kevin's weight loss journey and struggles with going from a morbidly obese teenager to a completely transformed social media creator and musician. His story has inspired many people to take the steps necessary to change their health and lives to become a better version of themselves. Here is the rewrite and I am willing to update, change or recreate any portion of it. I would also like to add pictures of his transformation and if him as a musician.

The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it. |
Early Life Kevin was born in Lucerne, Switzerland and moved to Germany at the age of 11 after his father died in a motorcycle accident. By the time of his father’s death, Kevin was already suffering from morbid obesity. At the age of 18 he started his weight loss journey. In 2013 Kevin received his BA degree in social work from the University of Applied Science in Cologne, Germany. In the following years, he worked as a probation officer, child protective services caseworker and in the public integration centers in Cologne, Germany. In 2015 he created a Facebook account, “The Creekman” to advertise himself as a musician which was the launch of his social media recognition. Kevin then began to catch the attention of various media outlets based on his transformation which helped to launch him further into modeling. He then moved to Los Angeles, California in 2018, where he continues his modeling, acting and music career. Weight Loss Journey Kevin is best known for his one-of-a-kind weight loss and body transformation story that has inspired millions of people. His popularity continues to grow through social media as he shares his mindset of, “your biggest weakness is your biggest strength,” the very mindset that fueled his reinvention. Kevin had been overweight since he was a child, with stretch marks appearing as early as the age of ten. As he aged, his weight increased. He eventually stopped weighing himself due to how large he had become. He was frequently bullied and tormented by his classmates over his appearance and shut himself off from all social experiences outside of school and played video games and ate junk food. He was an outsider. He finally hit his breaking point when he was 18 and weighed over 335 pounds (150kg). He found a friend who shared his desire to reduce weight. They supported each other, stayed motivated and pushed each other to achieve their mutual ambition. The fear of always being alone motivated him to lose over 176 pounds (80kg), over 50% of his body weight, in one year through cutting out sweets, eating 1500 calories a day, cardio exercise and a low carb diet. After finally reaching his goal weight, another problem arose. The loss of so much weight caused excess skin to hang in his chest and abdomen area. Although he had achieved his weight goal, he still did not feel comfortable in his own body. He made the decision to have the excess skin removed and opted for several surgeries with the first being an Abdominoplasty in 2014. The first surgery included cuts from his chest area down to the pubic area and around both sides and left him with scars that were quite noticeable and drew unwanted attention. He was self-conscious about these scars to the point where he didn’t take his shirt off to swim, even around his close friends and family. His second surgery occurred two years later to tighten the skin on his back and left even more scars. He was determined to start his new life and came up with a solution that would hide his scars and changes his life – tattoos. Kevin was tattooed before his surgery, however, in the following years after his surgery Kevin covered his scars with a full body tattoo to complete his transformation and hide his scars. He has spent approximately 250 hours under the tattoo gun over the years and has stated that, “My tattoos were the last puzzle piece to build strength, confidence and freedom in my skin.” Followers can see Kevin’s story and pictures of his tattoos on all his social media accounts. Body Image Despite Kevin’s success in managing his weight for 16 years he still struggles with his body image daily. There are times when he still sees and feels like the kid playing video games and eating junk food. He has been open about self-perception in interviews and has even gone so far as to mention Body Dysmorphia when discussing his views on his body post transformation. Kevin uses his social media platforms to inform the public on how taking a measured, healthy approach to weight loss will foster a more positive mindset. Career Kevin started his career as a model and a social media creator in 2015 and has expanded his social media reach from Facebook, Instagram and Twitter to his growing following on TikTok. He quickly became one of the most relevant and talked about tattoo models with millions of followers across all social media platforms and got the attention of several online resources like Inked Magazine, Men’s Health, LADbible as well as Daily Mail. Major brands like Golds Gym and ConAir used Kevin as the face and spokesperson for their brand. In 2018, Kevin joined as a bassist for singer songwriter Gil Ofarim. In 2021, he collaborated with singer Tim Lambesis (As I Lay Dying) on his project Born Through Fire as well as joined as bass player and permanent member for Tommy Vext’s (ex-lead singer of Bad Wolves) new band The Lone Wolf. Kevin has also acted as the leading male role in music videos for Trisha Paytas, Bad Wolves and Courtney Stodden. He helped to form a new band in 2022, Drxg The Kids and Filmography - Illustrated Man (2016) - Bad Wolves: Killing me Slowly (2019) - Trisha Paytas: Red Flags (2019) - Courtney Stodden: Pleasure (2021) Discography -The Lone Wolf: Grand Theft Audio (2022) Grand Theft Audio (2022) --> |

[M]y goal is to continue to get Kevin's story out to continue to inspire the morbidly obese to take that first stepis very explicitly not something we do. We are an encyclopaedia, not a motivational website. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v a little blue Bori 18:21, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
The page was declined again and i'm not totally sure why, so i'm reaching out to try and figure this out :) I ama ware of the independent sources claim and i went in and added more but it was still declined. I think what i'd really like to get an answer on is how this wikipedia page is any different to the page of A-List co-creator Nina Metivier? Nina Metivier . They have very similar sources too. Why is she allowed one, but Dan, who is a long time british children's TV writer isn't? I'm happy to make any amends needed but I think the sources are right- especially given the comparison with Nina Metivier's (Another writer and collaborator with Dan) wikipedia.
That being said I trust Wikimedia know what they're doing and I thank you for any help on getting this published! <3

Hello, I have revised the draft to follow the ORGCRIT and Notability guidelines listed by @CNMall41. The articles sourced meet the above criteria with multiple mentions from secondary independent sources that are reputable publications and staff writers. They also meet the guidelines on the Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources page. Thank you for your time and thorough examination of each draft. Silsurt (talk) 21:23, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
