Roblox games and Wikipedia articles
I suppose that this has most likely been brought up before, but why do only 3 roblox games have Wikipedia articles? So many of these games should be notable for setting records or having controversy.
Lets give an example for the setting records part, Grow a Garden just hit 6.5 million players playing the game at once. The update is only an hour away. That has to be the most CCU of any video game of all time. Why does Grow a Garden not have a Wikipedia article yet?
For the controversy part of this argument, Pet Simulator has been known for being basically child gambling, NFT scandals, creating brand new marketing strategies used in other games, and having some of the most addictive gameplay ever. (and to top it off, a McDonalds promotion.)
The fact that Galarian Corsola has an article but Roblox games that have done some insane stuff (for better or for worse) don’t have articles is kinda crazy to me. Toketaatalk 13:29, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
:Hello @Toketaa. Notability on Wikipedia can be a strange concept. Factors like player counts don't contribute to notability. What does matter are secondary sources providing in-depth information on the subject. Without these sources, no such article can be published, because there would be no verifiable information to create an encyclopedic article.
:You can try finding these sources yourself if you wish. There's always a chance the article hasn't been created because simply no one wanted to create it yet. Good luck. Tarlby (t) (c) 14:05, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
:I just created the article for Grow a Garden as there was sufficient coverage of the game in reliable sources. Ca talk to me! 15:43, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
:To give an example of what the other users have said, The Henry Stickmin Collection has no (English) Wikipedia article despite being very popular. If it receives enough coverage one day I might create the article as I quite like the series, but I don't think that's the case yet. Popularity does not confer notability for Wikipedia's purposes.

Copying Wikipedia article from other online encyclopedias
In my first task as an editor, Wikipedia gave me the challenge to find a citation in an article about Katyusha rocket launchers. (Katyusha rocket launcher)
While looking for the information, I came across two other sites and nearly cited them until I realized the text of the articles were 100% identical to the Wikipedia entry: https://encyclopedia.pub/entry/33152# and https://handwiki.org/wiki/Engineering:Katyusha_rocket_launcher
What is Wikipedia's policy on authors publishing an identical article on other online encyclopedias? Inquisit345 (talk) 19:22, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
: See WP:REUSE. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 19:28, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
::Thanks for your response Andy. I'm not sure what the bottom line is though. WP:REUSE appears to be a discussion about how text and images copied from Wikipedia should be referenced, but is it possible the author of Katyusha rocket launcher created his Wikipedia article as a copy of text and images from one of the other two encyclopedias instead of the other way around? Inquisit345 (talk) 18:26, 26 May 2025 (UTC)
:::Working that out usually involves some detective work, {{u|Inquisit345}}. It [https://handwiki.org/wiki/index.php?title=Engineering:Katyusha_rocket_launcher&action=info seems that] the version on HandWiki.org was created on 7 February 2024, and checking the revision history of Katyusha rocket launcher, the text was already in the article before that date, so it seems that it was copied from our article, not to it. Cordless Larry (talk) 07:36, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
::::In fact, it seems the version of the article that was copied from was the one that existed prior to [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Katyusha_rocket_launcher&diff=prev&oldid=1198018439 this edit], when it had the longer "Post-war development" section that you see on HandWiki.org.

How to publish an autobiography
Hello, I am a published book editor that wants a Wikipedia page, not to self promote simply to establish facts. How do I go about that Claroconcaro (talk) 02:25, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
:You don't. You're better off waiting for someone else with the sources to support it to write an article about you. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 02:34, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
::Thank you for replying. May articles have been written about me, independent sources. They just don’t do it in Wikipedia. They have done it in magazines etc but not here. So what can I do about that? Claroconcaro (talk) 02:37, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
:::Writing your own autobiography is "strongly discouraged", but not entirely impossible. You can try to write a draft and submit it to WP:AFC with the proper sourcing and writing that all articles require, but keep in mind that trying this will certainly bring many inherent obstacles.

::::So who can I ask to write it for me? What is the process? Claroconcaro (talk) 03:22, 27 May 2025 (UTC)

::::::Thanks! Claroconcaro (talk) 04:58, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
If you have edited published pieces you should be familiar with publishers’ guidelines. Think of Wikipedia as an online publisher, and you must follow Wikipedia’s rules on suitable articles. Help:Your first article tells you the basic guidelines to follow. Help:Referencing for beginners tells you what is and isn’t a suitable reference. You can’t start out by saying that you know what schools you attended, and what notable people you’ve worked with, so you can just write what you know. You need to find published sources that state these facts, so that others can track down those sources to double check what you’re writing about.
I would strongly recommend you read Wikipedia:An article about yourself isn't necessarily a good thing. If you (or someone else) writes an article about you that gets accepted by Wikipedia that article won’t belong to you. Others can edit the article, and add published information, criticisms or reviews that you’d prefer not to have included in the article. And if the time comes when you decide that you’d prefer that article to go away, you can’t delete it. It is part of the Wikipedia encyclopedia, and it might get copied and shared on other websites.
Best wishes on any Wikipedia projects you chose to work on. Karenthewriter (talk) 04:26, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
:Thank you for your reply! Are there writers that if you provide the information would want to publish an article about you, meaning if they believe it’s a contribution to society and find it interested to do so? Claroconcaro (talk) 04:58, 27 May 2025 (UTC)

::Hello, @Claroconcaro, and welcome to the Teahouse. You say "not for promotion", but what you are trying to do is precisely promotion, as Wikipedia undestands the term. ColinFine (talk) 09:38, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
:::Thank you for your reply. The reason I want to have a reliable autobiography it is because since I write and advice about finances, I get a lot of impostors, I don’t charge for financial advice, all of my advice is given for free and except for the book (that it is actually not mine, it’s the publishing house) there is nothing for sale on my end. What I would like written it’s financial concepts to help people out of their financial hole for free. Many articles have been written about me and the extra promotion is not what I am going for, it is simply to have the right info in a reliable source like Wikipedia. Claroconcaro (talk) 16:51, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
::@Claroconcaro You have been shy in telling us your full name, which would help experienced editors judge whether there were sufficient sources to establish you notability as Wikipedia defines that term. You can see whether many exist [https://cse.google.com/cse?cx=007734830908295939403:galkqgoksq0#gsc.tab=0 by searching at this URL]. Put your first/last name between inverted commas (i.e. "First Last") and with luck there will be some. Then read all the other links you have been provided with and this essay. Mike Turnbull (talk) 12:01, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
:::Not shy at all to share my name, my full name is “Carolina Hernandez” my published book is “Una guía millonaria” right now the book is published in Spanish and sold in over 50 countries but it is in the process of being published in English.
:::All the independent sources that have wrote about it, or tv shows, blogs, interviews etc that have talk about it are in Spanish, I am just preparing for when the information is also in English, to prevent the wrong information to be the one published. Claroconcaro (talk) 16:58, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
::::Unfortunately, as you may have found when you tried the link I provided, your name is the same as several other people, so that way of finding sources doesn't work well. You might be better to start by creating a draft for the Spanish-language version of Wikipedia. However, I don't know their requirements for sources to demonstrate wikinotability. Mike Turnbull (talk) 17:19, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
:::::Thanks Michael, that’s the thing, I meet the criteria under Creative professionals based on wikinotability, and what I am trying to do since I have a very common name is to separate myself from that, I know the independent sources’ links. Right now unless someone writes “Carolina Hernandez Una guía millonaria” too many Carolina’s show up. The guidelines in Spanish are pretty much the same but the community is not as active, hence me asking here. I truly appreciate your replies! Claroconcaro (talk) 19:23, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
:Another bit of advice: There are other places to promote/tell the world about yourself--your personal blog/site, social accounts, About.me/Carrd.co...the list goes on. Other than that, you already have the option to create a user page--which can only be used to state your goals/interests as a Wikipedian. --Slgrandson (How's my egg-throwing coleslaw?) 12:44, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
Notability of Jeff Campbell (Apostle)
Hi Teahouse,
I recently submitted a draft article on Jeff Campbell (Apostle), and it was declined by ToadetteEdit due to concerns about notability and the lack of significant coverage in independent, reliable sources. I really appreciate the review, and I’m hoping to get clarification on how to improve the draft for resubmission.
The draft is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Sadiowiki/sandbox
I’ve cited sources including La Voz, The Denver Post, Longmont Daily Times-Call, HuffPost, Westword, and award acknowledgments from the Bonfils-Stanton Foundation and Denver Arts & Venues. Some are in-depth features, while others cover public events or cultural contributions.
Could someone advise whether any of these sources already meet notability criteria if formatted correctly with inline
tags? And if not, what types of additional coverage should I be looking to include?
Any guidance on strengthening the article for acceptance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
—Sadiowiki Sadiowiki (talk) 07:01, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
:@Sadiowiki According to our policy on biographies of living people, all facts likely to be challenged must be cited to reliable sources. At present, in the "Early life" section you have put all the cites at the end (including a duplicated one), so it is unclear which back up the first paragraph, if any. The section on "Legacy and vision" is entirely uncited. Who said that about him? You? You also need to think which sources show how he is wikinotable and perhaps mention the three best ones in a comment on a draft to help the reviewer. Mike Turnbull (talk) 11:51, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
::Thank you for your detailed feedback — I’ve made several updates based on your suggestions:
::- All duplicate citations (like Migoya’s) have been consolidated using `name="..."` formatting to avoid redundancy.
::- I marked uncited statements such as the Forensics League achievements with `{{citation needed}}`.
::- I added inline `
::- The “Legacy and Vision” section is now cited with reliable sources from *Westword* (2013 in-depth interview) and *Denver Arts & Venues* (2024 award recognition), and rewritten in a neutral tone with attribution where applicable.
::For notability, the three strongest sources currently cited are:
::1. *Westword* feature on Jeff Campbell’s one-man show (2013)
::2. *Denver Arts & Venues* — Social Impact Artist Award (2024)
::3. *HuffPost* articles on his music and activism (2009)

Suspicious links
Hi, I've noticed that a new user is adding links that point to https://backlinkspro.net/, leading to what looks like a sales page, with no information on the subject of the link. For example, in an article on marketing:

My article has been rejected again and again - but why, really?
I have been trying to post an article about Dr. Alexander Meystel (deceased), a world-renowned roboticist and foundational researcher in the fields of control systems, machine learning/machine intelligence and robotics. Nothing too dissimilar from his colleage James Albus, who already has an article on Wikipedia.
The only difference, I guess, is that I happen to be his son (only child, now ... ahem ... we'll call me .. "old"), and there is no one else left to speak for him or his lasting legacy on the fields I mentioned (his works are still being taught around the world, referenced in patents and papers, etc.
It is very burdensome to go through this process thrice++. Can someone please help me? Thank you.

:Hello! Getting an article approved for submission can often times be a slow and frustrating process. I would recommend going through the notes on your talk page. Each time a submission is denied, they will list out any reasons why. You are also given tools to seek assistance either from the reviewing contributor or other sources available to new contributors.

:Hello, @Meystel, and welcome to the Teahouse.
:A Wikipedia article should be a neutral summary of what several people wholly unconnected with the subject have chosen to publish about him in reliable publications, and very little else.
:While your COI does not prevent you from creating and submitting a draft (and thank you for disclosing it), it may make it harder for you to write an acceptable article, because you may find it difficult to forget every single thing you know about him and write a summary only of what those independent sources say.
:(I'm overstating the case slightly: your knowledge about him is absolutely inadmissable, except where it is corroborated by reliable published sources; but non-independent published sources may be cited in limited ways - see WP:SPS. But such information will not contribute to establishing notability, and so may as well be omitted until the draft has been accepted). ColinFine (talk) 21:47, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
What to do about an semi-absent GA reviewer
About two months ago, my GA nomination of Equality was picked up, but since then, the reviewer has been periodically disappearing. I believe them when they say they are trying to make time for it, but given their reasons for disappearing, I'm beginning to think it would be better for everyone involved to let them off the hook. I'm not sure what to do. – Farkle Griffen (talk) 20:24, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
:I think formally speaking you're probably allowed to withdraw the nomination. Not sure how to change the templates/notices to account for that, but the person reviewing your article might know. Just say you'd like to withdraw the nomination. If no one is actively nominating it, the review must end, formally. Mrfoogles (talk) 03:36, 28 May 2025 (UTC)

Help with improving very niche subject
Hello. First of all sorry for my English. I am currently writing my thesis on this subject, and I have trouble switching to a different style than my usual one, so I can't improve the subject myself out of fear of being wrongly accused of plagiarism (or of simply using Wikipedia instead of doing my own research on current academic consensus). However, I can provide the necessary sources for the improvement of pages relating to the Muisca confederation: All of them are publicly accessible and I hope a devoted editor has the time and energy to read them, and then to change the Wikipedia page(s) on the Muisca for the better. Indeed, there have been many changes in Muisca scholarship recently (this does not mean that the traditional historical narratives are necessarily wrong). Here are the sources, they will contextualise everything and are fairly easy to read: https://www.banrepcultural.org/biblioteca-virtual/credencial-historia/numero-44/los-senores-muiscas (for this link you will have to refuse options for it to work); https://www.academia.edu/22398553/Mercados_poblamiento_Muiscas ; and https://sites.pitt.edu/~ccapubs/pdfdownloads/PITTmem09-Langebaek_1995.pdf (the last one will take some time loading). I know this demand might be bizarre, but it comes from the heart. It hurts seeing niche subjects cite almost only short museum pages/blogs/tourism pages instead of the detailed studies that exist about the muisca just as they do about the Aztec and Inca. I don’t have much time to argue about it a lot, and as I said I am not able to do the changes (big) myself (though believe me, I would love to, and I will probably one day). If a devoted user speaking basic Spanish and English with the time and energy necessary would have the kindness to read the three sources, I will be eternally grateful. There is MUCH more to this than 2 studies and a short article, but this can be a good way to improve Wikipedia by being informed about the muisca. After having finished, I am sure the editor in question will have the exact same eagerness as I have to improve Wikipedia pages related to the muisca. Maybe other editors with knowledge of niche subjects know what I am talking about. Kind regards, 80.187.115.196 (talk) 22:19, 27 May 2025 (UTC)

Alternate to peer review for a potential good article nomination
Hello,
I've been working on an article for quite a bit of time now and want to nominate it for good article status soon, but I was wondering if there was an alternative to peer reviewing to get a bit of feedback. I'm not looking for an in-depth review like the peer review option would give me, but just a bit of constructive criticism on what I can improve before submitting a nomination. I've been doing alright improving the article based on its previous good article nomination + the various pages with tips and tricks, but I've never nominated an article before and I'm really not 100% on if I should do it now. Is there anything like that on Wikipedia? I've spent quite a bit of time looking, but found nothing (though, I am a bit new here)
Thank you! Reverosie (talk) 23:12, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
:I don't think there's an explicit alternative. You may want to ask on the talk pages of the related Wikiprojects for the article. PhoenixCaelestis (Talk · Contributions) 23:27, 27 May 2025 (UTC)

I'm so sorry to ask another question so soon after the previous one, but it's unrelated: My account is now over 4 days old and has nearly 300 edits, so can I move my submitted draft into the article mainspace? If so, how? If not, can I delete my draft and re-create it as a new article that won't need a review? or do articles still need reviews even from verified accounts?
Thank you! Reverosie (talk) 23:16, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
:Your account should be autoconfirmed, and thus you should be able to move a page. There should be a blue "Move" button on the right ToC just under the header "Tools". If you feel the article meets notability guidelines, then by all means you are permitted to move it into mainspace. Be warned that it may be moved back to draftspace if another editor feels it is not ready. PhoenixCaelestis (Talk · Contributions) 23:31, 27 May 2025 (UTC)

Hey guys, thanks for your support. I need a hand with Draft:Paulo Otto. Anybody could help me in the way to publish it? Allyssonallan (talk) 00:39, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
:The reviewer gave feedback as to why the draft was declined - you have not shown notability with reliable, secondary sources. Every source you have used was partially written by the subject of the article. -- NotCharizard 🗨 03:42, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
::Thanks for your support @Notcharizard This Professor is low-profile and it is difficult to find his awards elsewhere. Allyssonallan (talk) 13:19, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
::: Since he was a professor, it is possible that his notability can be based on WP:NPROF. The usual options are either that his publications are highly-cited and impactful (relative to the standards of his field), or that his professorship was the equivalent of a named or distinguished professorship. AfC reviewers are often completely unaware of NPROF, which is an extremely unusual deviation from the sourcing requirements of Wikipedia generally, so you may need to draw their attention to it.

Use of sources
Can a television advertisement be used a source for dating a products availability to a decade when you can not find the exact release date of a product Sharnadd (talk) 04:20, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
:Hello, @Sharnadd, and welcome to the Teahouse. I don't think this would be acceptable: in my view it would be original research. ColinFine (talk) 09:37, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
:@Sharnadd Wikipedians can be remarkably good at finding sources if you give them key pieces of information. So, you could mention that you want to get an approximate date by posting on the talk page of the article, if it has lots of watchers, or maybe in one of the WP:Reference desks. One possibility would be to find a published newspaper advert for the product and cite that as a date it was certainly available. Mike Turnbull (talk) 13:19, 28 May 2025 (UTC)

Thug Life - Reel and Real
A Life Lesson for ever .........
Thug Life - Is it a tattoo - a meme or a Rebellion pose??
Is it waking up every day, staring failure in the face and saying — “Not today, da.”
Now let’s talk the reel and real Thug Life.
But the present version - ageing like our Amma's filter coffee and still tasty.
🎬 Kamal Haasan. Mani Ratnam. A.R. Rahman. Simbu.
4 men.
4 different battles.
1 loud message: “We’re still here. And we’re not done.”
After a big setback with Netizens almost trolling him to the core - a never before for Indian 2- Kamal Haasan at 70, walks into Thug Life
not like a man trying to prove something but confident of doing a new thing irrespective of anything.
And Mani Ratnam? He’s nearing 70 too.
He made a 30-year-old Kamal play a 60-year-old don in Nayakan. Now? He’s flipped the script. Making the same Kamal act like he’s 30 — with fire in his eyes and rebellion in his walk.
That is Thug Life - I feel.
It’s not about pretending to be young.
It’s about refusing to grow old inside.
🎶 Then comes Rahman.
Nearing 60 soon, still creating music like he’s got something to prove. He doesn't rest on Grammys. He reinvents. Every. Single. Time.
Thug Life?
It’s the beat that keeps playing even when the world hits pause.
🔥 And Simbu.
Written off. Doubted. Questioned. But Mani Ratnam didn’t just cast him. He trusted him when others didn’t. That trust? Simbu’s paying it back with every frame.
இனிமேல் நான் தான் Rangaraya Sakthivel Naickan. (Here after Iam - Rangaraya Sakthivel Naickan) - Simbu Roaring like a Lion in the Teaser
He’s acting, roaring and also
thanking in Audio Launch. That’s real thug gratitude.
So what is Thug Life?
Is it the life you flex on Instagram.
Is it the life you fight for when no one's watching.
It is Kamal screaming “action” at 70.
Mani rewriting rules at 69.
Rahman composing thunder at 59.
Simbu proving doubters wrong at 42
They didn’t drop a film. They dropped a message:
THUG LIFE
Don’t let your age, your past, your critics—or your own fear—decide when your story ends.
Because legends? They don’t age. They evolve.
If they’re living their Thug Life at 60's and and 70s
Why not you - Most happy to hear your thug life moments - irrespective of your age . VS Balajee (talk) 07:58, 28 May 2025 (UTC)

Collaboration Request: Creating English Wikipedia Article Following Wikimedia–Ringier Event
To Whom It May Concern,
Previosuly, a Wikipedia page with my name was available in English but no longer publicly accessible. I would kindly like to ask for your advice or help in restoring or recreating an English-language Wikipedia page that meets the notability criteria.
I am a senior expert in GenAI, AI&Society, tech foresight /policy with international recognition. I am an Associate Professor, a transatlantic Horizon Europe Research Project Leader, an invited expert for the UN, EU, and several leading academic and policy organizations, and a Fulbright alumna. I am the first who published a comprehensive summary/monograph of GenAI, Media and Society by Routledge/Taylor and Francis Group as the founder of AI Media Research - global hub, beyond several D1-Q1 publications in the emerging AI trends and strategic foresight.
If helpful, I am happy to collect and provide verified sources (academic publications, policy contributions, international media mentions, Google Scholar, ORCID etc.) to support the article’s credibility.
Would it be possible to be connected with a volunteer editor who could help review or re-upload my article? Thank you in advance for any support you can offer.
I’m highly motivated to contribute, as I recently participated in a Ringier–Hungarian Wikimedia event aimed at improving the underrepresentation of women on Wikipedia, where I was encouraged to connect with a volunteer editor to collaboratively work on an English-language article.
Thank you for your collaboration in advance,

Regent International Center, maybe the most populous building on Earth
Hello everyone, I was looking for the biggest building on Earth in terms of population : some sources were pointing to the Regent International Center, which had no Wikipedia article except in Chinese. I was enthusiastic about creating an article in English (although it is not my mother tongue). I marked it as a stub, knowing that the community would improve it after a while. But soon after I created it, it was deleted and replaced by a "Draft" : Draft:Regent International Center. I don't know how to improve it to pass this step, because of language problems (not so fluent in English, I am afraid) and the lack of sources others than tiktok videos and tabloids. If someone could help by editing this article, I would appreciate. Damouns (talk) 14:00, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
:@Damouns I think the best way forward would be to include your references and a picture in the main article on Hangzhou. Please read this help page on how to format your two sources correctly.

Article about Bring Back Euro Trains
Hello,
I would like to write an article about Bring Back Euro Trains, a campaign that was formed following the withdrawal of Eurostar international trains services from the Kent stations Ashford and Ebbsfleet, Kent, UK.
I believe this is notable because there is still a lot of misinformation about whether or not international trains are actually stopping at the stations that are labelled "international", that is to say: Stratford International, Ebbsfleet International, and Ashford International. The services were widthdrawn during the pandemic and were never reinstated, and many AI language tools that scrape the internet for information about these stations are misinformed. As a novice contributor, I would value someone's feedback on whether such an article would be valuable.
I am connected with Bring Back Euro Trains (as a volunteer) so I would like to write an article which could be edited by someone independent. Could someone advise me whether this would be the right approach?
The aim of this article would not be to criticise Eurostar in particular. Several competitors are vying to use the line and the organisation has a broad remit to inform as well as to campaign.
I hope someone can advise me on this.
StephanieChicken StephanieChicken (talk) 16:01, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
:You would need to show that the organisation meets the criteria at WP:GNG.
:You could start an article at Draft:Bring Back Euro Trains, declare your CoI on your user page, and submit the draft when ready via the AfC process.
:Another option would be to ask on the talk pages of relevant articles, like High Speed 1 for someone to add a section to those articles. If and when there is enough material, it can be split off into a separate article. Again, you should declare your CoI.
:I have left some other, more general advice, on your talk page. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 16:11, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
::Thank you for your quick reply and for your welcome, much appreciated. The High Speed 1 page correctly (and very briefly) mentions the lack of Eurostar at Ashford and Ebbsfleet since the pandemic, but not the impact this has had on Kent and the wider south east. I doubt if London St Pancras High Speed (as the company is called now) would be interested in a section on this. I will try drafting something independent, declare my CoI, and see if I can work within the guidelines. StephanieChicken (talk) 16:30, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
:::Hello, @StephanieChicken, and welcome to the Teahouse.
:::{{User:ColinFine/PractiseFirst}}
:::Your text above shows some misunderstandings about Wikipedia, (unsurprising in somebody who is new to it). You say "I believe this is notable because there is still a lot of misinformation..." - this is a complete non-sequitur. Notability is roughly about "is there enough wholly independent reliably published material about the subject to base an article on?" And whether or not "London St Pancras High Speed (as the company is called now) would be interested in a section on this" is 100% irrelevant to Wikipedia, because the company have absolutely no control or ownership of the Wikipedia article about them, any more than BBET would have any ownership or control of a Wikipedia article about them.

::::Thank you ColinFine I really appreciate you taking the trouble to explain this. I realised almost as soon as I had pressed Send that companies have no ownership of articles about them, and therefore part of what I said was irrelevant! I understand the non-sequitur which you have explained well. Of course I am biased, but I also have experience of journalism and of writing from a neutral standpoint. But Wikipedia is a very particular environment which as you say I need to learn to navigate. So I will start by looking around at my subject of interest and see where I can add or correct information. Does that sound like a proper plan? StephanieChicken (talk) 20:10, 28 May 2025 (UTC)

:Hello, @Actor Farhan Khan Rio, and welcome to the Teahouse. You are very strongly discouraged from creating an article about yourself or your works (see WP:autobiography) but not forbidden.
:In order to write such an article successfully, you would need to
:# Find several places where people wholly unconnected with you, and unprompted by you, have chosen to publish material about you in reliable publications (without several such sources, no article is possible); and
:# Write a summary of what those sources say. What you know, believe, or think about yourself is irrelevant, and should not be mentioned in the article unless it is corroborated by independent sources.

I will note, just by a quick skim, that the sections "Formation" and "Activity" are completely unsourced - you need a source for each claim made in the article.
