{{Lafc|username=Chorchapu|ts=00:08, 17 April 2025|draft=Draft:JackSucksatLife}}

This article was recently rejected at AfC due to it lacking sufficient notability. According to the reasons given, the sources shown are 1) not good enough and 2) don't show notability. Jack, however, has [https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/news/2020/10/jacksucksatlife-creator-jack-massey-welsh-sets-record-with-his-youtube-channels-634011#:~:text=YouTube%20star%20Jack%20Massey%20Welsh,subscribers%20owned%20by%20an%20individual. received a Guinness World Record], been written about in the news ([https://nypost.com/2025/01/14/health/man-28-walked-17-miles-a-day-for-a-week-what-it-did-to-his-body/ 1],[https://www.msn.com/en-my/news/other/man-walked-250-000-steps-in-a-week-to-see-what-it-would-do-to-his-body/ar-BB1rrtfw?cvid=A7C26D7079744AD68DAFA487C54FE960&ocid=hpmsn&apiversion=v2&noservercache=1&domshim=1&renderwebcomponents=1&wcseo=1&batchservertelemetry=1&noservertelemetry=1 2],[https://www.menshealth.com/uk/fitness/a63418319/250000-steps-a-week-walking-challenge/ 3],[https://www.ladbible.com/lifestyle/step-challenge-100000-youtube-jack-massey-welsh-impact-body-078948-20250217 4],[https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/etimes/trending/a-28-year-old-walked-17-miles-a-day-for-a-week-heres-what-happened-next/articleshow/117275002.cms 5]), and has amassed ~13.53 million subscribers on all his (many) YouTube channels. Admittedly, the article linked is a bit short and isn't well cited, however with a bit of work (which I'd be willing to do) it has the potential to become a decent article. If this becomes an article, we should probably put it under Jack Massey Welsh, as JackSucksAtLife is just one channel of his.

:Just to be clear, I did not write the article linked, or have any contribution to it, I just noticed it got rejected for reason I don't entirely understand. User:Chorchapu (talk|edits|commons|wiktionary|simple english) 00:09, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

::@Chorchapu: did you see Bonadea's comment about the history of this subject under different titles going back over six years, including at least one MfD discussion? While none of that would completely preclude the possibility of an acceptable draft being one day presented, this practically unreferenced one is certainly not that, and there is no point in wasting further reviewer time in dealing with such dross. If you want to have a go at creating a better one, I can't exactly stop you, but be advised that you would be fighting an uphill battle, and would require a particularly convincing draft to get it through. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:50, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

:::I understand that the topic has been rejected and salted before, however since then he's been written about by several news outlets and his channels have expanded significantly. The drafts submitted also aren't nearly to the quality that Jack could have been written about. Where exactly is the notability guideline showing that Jack is not notable? User:Chorchapu (talk|edits|commons|wiktionary|simple english) 13:37, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

::::@Chorchapu: {{tq|"Where exactly is the notability guideline"}} – that would be this way: WP:GNG (or you're welcome to try to make a case for any of the subject-specific guidelines WP:SNG if you think they apply). This draft is 'referenced' with a single citation to the person's own IG account. As such, it breaks pretty much every referencing rule in the book. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:43, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

::::That he has a lot of channels means very little, as anyone can create any number of channels with little effort, unless independent reliable sources discuss the significance of his having many channels. Viewer numbers do not themselves confer notability, someone can have 5 viewers and be notable, and someone can have 15 million and not be. It depends on the sources. 331dot (talk) 13:43, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

:::::The record is for "most YouTube channels with over 100,000 subscribers owned by an individual", so this is not just a case of someone making a bunch of channels just for a record. User:Chorchapu (talk|edits|commons|wiktionary|simple english) 16:31, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

::::Hello, @Chorchapu. That's not how it works. It's up to the person proposing an article or draft to show that the subject is notable. Appearing in Guiness doesn't do it. If you're right that "he has been written about by several news outlets" and several of those reports meet the triple criteria in WP:42, then he could well meet the criteria. But if most of them are either passing mentions, or mostly interviews, then they won't count. ColinFine (talk) 13:45, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

:::::What about the Times of India source? It's from a semi-reliable news source, with no glaring issues appearing with this particular article. User:Chorchapu (talk|edits|commons|wiktionary|simple english) 23:27, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

::::{{ping|Chorchapu}} To add to what everyone else has been saying, articles on living or recently-departed people have much stricter sourcing rules than most other Wikipedia content. This is something that has been a consistent bugbear for any article on Welsh, as the third-party sources we rely on to support an article have practically never existed. WP:Articles for deletion/Jack Massey Welsh is instructive here. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v ^{threads critiques} 16:37, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

:::::And in regards to those sources, we can't use the New York Post or Daily Mail (deprecated), and the rest are waterskiing-budgerigar stories about a single event. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v ^{threads critiques} 16:40, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

::::::I don't mean to sound WP:BLUDGEONy, but these are about 2 different walking challenges he did. Also, the WP:RSP states that, while the New York Post is normally deprecated, in entertainment it says that it's "considered to be marginally reliable sources for entertainment coverage, including reviews, but should not be used for controversial statements related to living persons." I'm pretty sure "he exists" isn't a controversial statement, but I don't know. User:Chorchapu (talk|edits|commons|wiktionary|simple english) 23:29, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

:::::::{{ping|Chorchapu}} "He exists" is about as much a claim to notability as "I exist" - none what-so-ever. Existence is not a factor in our inclusion criteria for people (just ask Alan Smithee). "Controversial" in the passage you cite above is closer to "Could potentially be challenged by a reasonable person who doesn't know him from Adam", rather than explosive allegations or disputes. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v ^{threads critiques} 15:55, 18 April 2025 (UTC)

{{Lafc|username=Portia3201|ts=02:02, 17 April 2025|draft=Draft: Guy Gugliotta}}

This submission was declined because it " is not adequately supported by reliable sources." I am new to this. There are 14 confirmed linked citations for awards won, fellowships awarded and books and articles published by Guy Gugliotta.

I would appreciate direction for what else needs to be reliably cited. Are we talking about proof of year of college graduation? Or links to articles in the Washington Post or Miami Herald? Or proof of his Bronze Stars? I will track down as much as I can, I just need direction. Thanks so much for the help. Portia3201 (talk) 02:02, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

:@Portia3201: the answer to your question {{tq|"what else needs to be reliably cited"}} is – pretty much everything. You say he has an English degree from Columbia – where's the evidence of that? Three bronze stars – how do we know that's true? His family members – which (reliable published) source gives that information? In fact, there are entire paragraphs wholly unreferenced. This would be problematic in any article, but especially articles on living people (WP:BLP) have particularly strict referencing requirements, with every material statement, anything potentially contentious, as well as all private personal and family details needing to be clearly supported by inline citations to reliable published sources, or else removed. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:39, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

{{Lafc|username=방명호|ts=07:40, 17 April 2025|draft=Draft:Junghun Choi}}

Hello,

My draft article titled **"Junghun Choi"** was recently declined at Articles for Creation.

I'm trying to understand which aspects of the submission failed to meet the notability or sourcing standards, so I can revise accordingly.

Here are the key sources I referenced:

- Korean Wikipedia article (accepted): https://ko.wikipedia.org/wiki/최정훈_(기업인)

- Wikidata item: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q133873203

- Reliable English-language coverage:

- Business Korea: https://www.businesskorea.co.kr/news/articleView.html?idxno=237464

- Korea JoongAng Daily: https://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/2022/09/13/business/industry/korea-yido-climate-change/20220913165903955.html

- Chosun Biz (English): https://biz.chosun.com/en/en-realestate/2025/02/05/XJWVJ5ZVRFHG5GX6JYMBMR5BZU/

- Freely licensed portrait image on Wikimedia Commons: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Junghun_Choi_yido_profile.jpg

-YIDO homepage - https://www.yido.com/en/intro/ceo

-ARMCHAM KOREA INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/amchamkorea/p/DHKO6Jhzyrw/?img_index=1

The subject is the founder and CEO of YIDO, a company operating in ESG infrastructure and environmental services, and has received multiple awards and recognitions, including from South Korea’s Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy.

I would really appreciate any specific feedback on what improvements are needed to meet the notability criteria for biographies of living persons.

Thanks so much for your time and support!

Best regards,

• Bang Myungho**

방명호 (talk) 07:40, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

:@방명호: the draft is currently unreferenced. In articles on living people, we require comprehensive inline citations throughout; it isn't enough to just list some possible sources at the end. For this reason, whatever claims of notability there may be, they are currently unsubstantiated. See WP:REFB for advice on correct referencing, and WP:GNG for the general notability guideline which this draft would need to satisfy. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:08, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

{{Lafc|username=AhmadAli7861|ts=07:50, 17 April 2025|draft=Draft:Abdullah_Khawaja}}

Hi! I just wanted to clarify that Abdullah Khawaja has been featured on 7 of Pakistan’s top national news channels—including ARY, Dunya News, GTV, and PTV—watched by millions daily. He’s also been covered by leading Jordanian outlets like Roya News, Jordan TV, Mamlaka, and MBC, as well as internationally by The Independent (UK) and outlets in the U.S. These aren't just passing mentions but full-feature coverage, highlighting his prosthetic arm innovation and social impact. AhmadAli7861 (talk) 07:50, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

:{{u|AhmadAli7681}} Please see Referencing for beginners. Every substantive fact about a living person needs to be sourced. Much of the draft is unsourced, or at least the sources are not in line next to the text they support.

:Most of your sources seem to be interviews; interviews do not contribute to notability, as by definition an interview is the subject speaking about themselves, which is not an independent source. Wikipedia wants to know what independent reliable sources choose on their own to say about the subject, not what it says about itself. 331dot (talk) 08:23, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

Hello, my submission was just declined saying it's not supported by reliable sources.

I can't find what's wrong with the souces I used, knowing that I used the same sources as the French Wikipedia page for Fabio Marra.

Is it a problem of language ?

I'd be gratefull if someone could bring me an answer Nou33 (talk) 12:45, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

:Each language version of Wikipedia is a separate project, with their own editors and policies. What is acceptable on one version is not necessarily acceptable on another. It's up to the translator to make sure their translated article meets the standards of the Wikipedia for which they are translating.

I would like to help get this page posted but I keep getting rejections due to some sources coming from the companies website. Dennis Rude and Cathedral Stone Products are both VERY prominent figures in the masonry industry. His name is well-known through word-of-mouth as well as through his reputation he's build over the last 60+ years. I've attached numerous sources that do not come from the company themselves. How can I get this page active? Thanks. 96.86.38.217 (talk) 17:18, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

:Remember to log in when posting. Your draft seems to be talking about two subjects, the company and its founder. I suggest that you focus on one or the other. 331dot (talk) 17:51, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

:Hello, @Buttercupraddish (I assume that's you). Citations from the company's website should only be occasionally used, as they are not independent - but that applies equally to people or organizations associated with the company, such as Mend Restoration.

:The only sources which can be used to establish notability are those which meet all three of the requirements in WP:42: they are reliable (i.e. published by somebody with a reputation for editorial control and fact checking), independent (ie they are not written, published, or based on the words of the subject or any associates of the subject), and contain significant coverage of the subject.

:Your draft reads very much like Cathedral Stone telling the world what they want the world to know about them. Wikipedia is essentially uninterested in what Cathedral Stone want people to know: an article should be a summary of what wholly independent sources have published about the subject, and very little else.

Hi, I've been advised that the sources used are not eligible, but then I looked at other mining company Wikipedia pages, including out management teams prior company (Westgold Resources) and our next-door neighbors in Idaho (Hecla Mining), and they both have their own website and press releases for their sources. Why is there a different standard for some companies than for others? Maximka ko (talk) 17:24, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

:{{u|Maximka ko}} This is a volunteer project where people do what they can, when they can. As such, things only get done when volunteers choose to invest the time into doing them, based on what interests them. There are many ways to get inappropriate content past us, this cannot justify adding more inappropriate content. This does mean that our guidelines are only applied when people point out violations.

:We don't have "company Wikipedia pages" here. Wikipedia has articles about topics, including some companies that meet our criteria. 331dot (talk) 17:42, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

:You don't need the whole url when linking, simply place the title of the target of the link in double brackets(as I've done here). An article must summarize what independent reliable sources choose on their own to say about a topic, not what the topic wants to say about itself. If you want to use other articles as a model, use those that are classified as good articles, which have received community vetting. Lastly, I would read WP:BOSS, and have your superiors read it, too. 331dot (talk) 17:45, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

::Thanks for the response and the guidance. I mentioned before but Wikipedia:BOSS doesn't apply in my case, since I myself wanted to take initiative and create the 2 articles I'm working on, considering there are a number of places where our company's projects are referenced, and they either have incomplete info, incorrect info, or no further details at all, which likely means a reader like myself would want more info on the subject but not be able to find it, or get inaccurate or misleading info.

My submission to publish an article publicly has been declined twice.

Today I added additional sources that I believe are in-depth, adding to Dust's notability. I am still unsure if they are enough to help the article pass the notability benchmark.

Before resubmitting I would love some more detailed feedback about the sources I've provided and any advice on what I could do to help prove Dust's nobility.

I do realise my conflict of interest. Nonetheless, I am committed to adhering to the Wikipedia's standards for writing and proving notability. I would be deeply thankful for any feedback. Coleschm (talk) 18:09, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

Hi Cowboygilbert, I submitted a draft article for myself, Nick Marcus, but it was rejected because the references didn’t display properly. I’ve gathered several reliable sources including Bangor Daily News articles (Pete Warner), Eurobasket, Getty Images, and more. I’m waiting on one more ESPN article. Could you help me confirm whether these sources are enough for notability? And assist with the proper formatting of the references in my sandbox? MaineChronical (talk) 22:33, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

:{{u|MaineChronical}} First, while it's not forbidden for people to write about themselves, it is highly discouraged, please read the autobiography policy. It is usually very difficult for people to write about themselves as Wikipedia requires- you need to set aside everything you know about yourself and all materials you put out, and only write based on the content of independent reliable sources. It is a rare thing for someone to succeed at that here; are you the rare person who can do it? Possibly, but the odds are against it. Just a fair warning.

:Regarding the draft, Please see Referencing for beginners as to how to format references. I'm not really seeing how you meet the definition of a notable person. There needs to be sources with significant coverage of you- coverage that goes into detail about what is seen as important/significant/influential about you- not what you see as important about yourself. You wrote, for example, "He is known for developing curriculum and digital products designed to reduce educators’ workloads and improve institutional AI adoption" but don't source who said that and why they said it. 331dot (talk) 22:46, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

::Thanks for the feedback. I’ve just acquired a full ESPN The Magazine print article (2003) that includes named coverage of me (as Hank McDaniel) during the Denver Nuggets open tryout. It quotes my athletic performance and includes a photo. I’m now reworking the draft to build the biography only from reliable secondary sources and will focus the tone to remain neutral. Would you mind reviewing again once that’s complete? MaineChronical (talk) 23:57, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

:::{{u|MaineChronical}} You may submit it for a formal review; I've added the coding to your draft to enable this. it won't necessarily be specifically from me.

:::Not to diminish your sports achievements(certainly much more than what I could do), but trying out for an NBA team isn't likely to make you notable as an athlete(in a Wikipedia sense). Even making the team wouldn't be a guarantee of notability(though much more likely than just trying out); generally you would need to have appeared in an actual NBA game. If you have sources that discuss your professional career overseas, that would help if they say more than just the fact you played in another country. I don't have access to the ESPN Magazine, but it needs to do more than run your picture and mention you- it must give extensive coverage of you and discuss what makes your tryout significant beyond the fact that it occurred. The piece from the Bangor Daily News is probably better, but you need to summarize what it said, not just say it profiled your impact. 331dot (talk) 08:49, 18 April 2025 (UTC)

:@Krshna4sri: Draft:CR Srikanth was declined (not 'rejected') earlier, and I've just declined it again, because of referencing. You need to cite reliable sources to support the information, and they need to be cited inline, not merely piled in a heap at the end. It must be much clearer which source supports what information, and we also need to see that the information is sufficiently supported throughout. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 05:30, 18 April 2025 (UTC)

::Hello Wikipedia team and editors,

::First, thank you for the incredible work you do in keeping Wikipedia the free and reliable knowledge base it is. I’ve been a long-time supporter and donor of this platform, and I’ve always appreciated the spirit of open, verified, and shared knowledge that this community represents.

::This is the first time I’ve ever submitted anything on my own behalf. I’ve spent months creating and improving my music and composition portfolio, and I’ve now received verified global airplay, classical music publications on IMSLP, and over 40 third-party press features — all carefully cited and formatted in this article.

::I fully understand and respect Wikipedia’s standards. I’ve worked hard to ensure the article is written neutrally, supported by inline references, and meets the notability requirements for contemporary musicians. It would mean the world to me if you could please consider re-reviewing this with fresh eyes. No favors expected — just fairness and clarity in light of the evidence provided.

As this site has recently been implicated in the 4chan hack, and thus covered by several mainstream media outlets, it now meets the criteria for notability, right? I also noticed that there is a soyjak.party article on the Russian version of Wikipedia. Why the discrepancy? Does it come down to different moderators? 78.62.166.101 (talk) 09:05, 18 April 2025 (UTC)

:Each language version of Wikipedia is a separate project, with their own editors and policies(and, as you note, different administrators). What is acceptable on one version is not necessarily acceptable on another. Given that access to Wikipedia is restricted in Russia right now, the number of participants there is probably less. 331dot (talk) 09:09, 18 April 2025 (UTC)

::That's what I figured. As far as notability is concerned, the sources I've added do not necessarily just mention the subject in passing, they expound upon its central involvement in the hack. However, any sources referencing the subject are largely in the context of the hack, and not necessarily about the site itself. Nonetheless, I believe it consitutes notability at this point.

In fact, the content was written by an author and we have supplemented the elements with reliable sources as indicated in the best practices.

Can you please tell us more precisely what's wrong? 92.154.12.75 (talk) 13:08, 18 April 2025 (UTC)

:From what I can see, not enough references are present in the draft to conclude that subject is notable for a Wikipedia article, in particular as a creative professional. To fully assess the notability of the subject, more references should be added if possible, specially those that are secondary and independent. For example, the fifth reference in the draft is an interview with the subject of the draft itself, thus doesn't count as independent. If you don't find more reliable sources that talk about the subject in detail, then it isn't notable yet, and I'm sorry to say that the best prose in the world can't supply for that. Usually the best course of action is wait for the subject to become notable (or contribute to its notability outside Wikipedia).

Hi! Thank you for reviewing my page so quickly! I'm wondering what i can do to format the significant coverage better, which is the reason my page was declined. I may have written it in a way that downplays their significance. Sharky Pitts is the main subject of several of the podcasts listed in review ( books closed/ so your kind of a big deal/like for like). Her works and career have been written about by outside sources, ie Substack article written about "I Sing The Body Electric". Her instagram podcast is talked about in her books closed interview along with her famous on the road approach to tattooing. Should i remove the other smaller features? They seem equally as significant. Sharky Pitts (talk) 00:51, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

Wikipedia is only interested in what people wholly unconnected with the Institute have chosen to publish about it in reliable sources.

I am requesting assistance with reviewing my updated draft article on Ali Alam Qamar (linked to my sandbox). The previous submission was declined due to concerns about notability and insufficient secondary sources. I have now revised the article to:

Include citations from independent, reliable publications (e.g., The News, Dawn, Business Recorder, Cambridge Judge Business School)

Focus on verifiable accomplishments like the PSX listing of Zarea.pk, STZA licensing, and public policy appointments

Remove promotional language and maintain a neutral tone throughout

I have also disclosed a conflict of interest, so I’m reaching out here to request a neutral review before formal resubmission. Thank you for your guidance.

:@Ali Alam Qamar (AAQ): to clarify, the previous version was rejected (twice), not just declined. That means the end of the road. And while you are allowed to create a new draft if sufficient evidence of notability has come to light, this new draft doesn't seem to present such evidence.

::A fully rewritten, neutral version that avoids promotional tone

::Removal of direct submissions — I’ll proceed only through the Articles for Creation process

::I’ve also updated my user page with a full disclosure of my conflict of interest regarding both myself and Zarea Limited. I will not submit the article myself and will rely on the AfC process for independent evaluation.

{{cot|title=And the same again...}}

Thank you for your clarification and guidance.

I acknowledge that the previous version was rejected and understand it cannot be reused. I’ve now drafted a new version which I intend to submit via the Articles for Creation (AfC) process, not for pre-review. The revised draft makes a stronger case for notability, in line with Wikipedia’s Notability guidelines, particularly as they relate to people and organizations.

Specifically:

The draft is supported by multiple independent, reliable, and secondary sources with significant coverage of the subject, including:

The News International (PSX listing of Zarea)

Dawn, The Nation, and Business Recorder (coverage of business leadership and public role)

Cambridge Judge Business School (profiled as an alumnus and entrepreneur)

These sources are not affiliated with the subject, are published by credible organizations, and provide coverage beyond trivial mentions — satisfying the notability requirements outlined in WP:N, WP:BIO, and WP:ORG.

I have also updated my user page with a clear conflict of interest disclosure regarding both myself and Zarea Limited, in accordance with WP:COI. I will not directly submit articles in mainspace and will only proceed through community review channels.

Thank you again, and I welcome any further suggestions to help ensure the draft is fully policy-compliant.

Kind regards,

Ali Alam Qamar (AAQ)

I am seeking guidance on how to improve and possibly resubmit my draft article on Imtiaz Rafi Butt. The draft was declined due to notability and tone issues.

New Article Rejected - Trying to find sources that qualify}}

I am trying to make an article for a museum I am currently working for, but it was rejected for not having the correct sources? I am not really sure what else I can use as a source, it's not a big museum so it doesn't have grand opening in-depth type pages on independent sites or anything, it's mostly just local news articles and small mentions in larger publications. What can I use to get the correct citations? Examples of what I can use to get it published? The museum is really struggling right now with all the budget cuts and all going on so any publicity we can get is desperately needed, and I think the cause (and a lot of the historical artifacts we have) are important enough that it deserves an article. MoonlitDunes (talk) 17:47, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

:{{u|MoonlitDunes}} You had text where the title of your draft should go, creating a link. I fixed this for you.

:If there are no independent reliable sources that provide on their own significant coverage of your museum, it would not be a notable organization in a Wikipedia sense. Wikipedia is not a means of promotion, see WP:PROMO. Unfortunately you will have to look elsewhere to promote your museum. 331dot (talk) 18:28, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

::It has been covered by multiple other sources, many of which I've been including links to. Newspapers, fish and wildlife, there was a segment I believe on a PBS show, a gentleman who worked on it came in a few weeks ago to take new footage for an updated show he's doing for Amazon, but I have no idea when that's going to be out. It hasn't really been on national news to the best of my knowledge, though I am reaching out to see if there are larger publications that have done stories on it so I can get that information. I'm still very new to this and am not entirely sure where to look or what's considered 'big enough'. MoonlitDunes (talk) 18:33, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

{{Lafc|username=Bhcdjjdsh|ts=18:27, 19 April 2025|draft=Draft:Laniakea_Technologies}}

I’m working on a draft article for Laniakea Technologies, a technology company founded in 2021 that develops decentralized software, notably Laniakea OS. The draft is based on a variety of sources, including recent additions, and I’d greatly appreciate feedback or assistance to ensure it meets Wikipedia’s standards for notability, neutrality, and reliable sourcing.

Specific Requests

Notability Review: The article cites multiple sources, including industry publications and news outlets, to establish notability (e.g., InfoNetInsider, TimeBulletins, BizNewsReporter). Could editors review whether these sources sufficiently meet WP:GNG for a technology company?

Source Reliability: I’ve added three new references:

TexasNewsMagazine discussing potential applications in space exploration.

TimeBulletins covering Laniakea TV’s virtual reality content.

BizNewsReporter providing insights from the OS creators.

Are these sources considered reliable per WP:RS, or should I seek additional ones?

Content Balance: The article covers the company’s history, products, and technological focus (blockchain, AI, decentralization). Is the tone appropriately neutral, or are there areas that seem promotional?

Formatting and Structure: The draft includes an infobox, history section, external links, and references. Are there improvements needed for MOS compliance or category suggestions beyond those listed (e.g., Category:Mexican technology companies, Category:Blockchain technology)?

Reference Integration: I’ve added one sentence per new reference as requested. Could editors confirm if these are well-integrated and properly formatted?

How You Can Help

Copyediting: Suggestions to improve clarity or conciseness.

Source Evaluation: Guidance on whether cited sources are sufficient or if more primary/secondary sources are needed.

Notability Discussion: Input on whether the company meets Wikipedia’s notability criteria for organizations.

Technical Assistance: Help with citation templates or infobox parameters if errors are present.

I’m happy to collaborate and make revisions based on feedback. The draft is available [insert link to draft if applicable, or note it’s in the provided text], and I’d be grateful for any insights from editors experienced with technology or business articles. Thank you in advance for your time and expertise!

Hello! I recently resubmitted Draft:John Kenneth Paranada after addressing the previous decline comments. I've carefully revised the article to ensure that it now includes multiple reliable, independent secondary sources that provide significant coverage of the subject.

I’ve removed non-compliant references (such as YouTube) and clarified citations. I'd be very grateful if an AfC reviewer could kindly take another look when possible.

Thank you for your time and support!

Best wishes,

hello, thank you for reviewing my article. Getting resources for Hindu spiritual gurus is difficult since most of them are in different languages (eg Bengali). I have tried to mostly use web links of resources that are easier for anyone to review its authenticity. I was thinking of modelling the page based on another similar Hindu guru's page: "Ram Thakur". The only reference is something from their own organisation's website. In South Asia, the guru I am writing an article about has over a million disciples and I just wanted a stub or small article so that he is more easily discoverable on the internet.

I want to clarify that I am the subject's daughter and wrote the article myself based on my own knowledge together with referencing of reliable sources including the Australian War Memorial and the Royal Australian Artillery Historical Company (which I added in when I received the first notice about lack of citations). I recieved the message about the article being declined after I added in the citations. I've been working carefully, and with assistance, to meet tone, sourcing and formatting requirements (which is hard for a first time user!). I've also replied to a reviewer on the Talk page. Would someone be willing to take a second look or offer guidance about what I need to do to move forward and have this published? Thank you.
