Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/British Columbia Conservatory of Music

Hi Editor. Thank you for your feedback on my article about the British Columbia Conservatory of Music. I am struggling with getting this article accepted, and I am wondering what I could do to improve this article to match up with similar articles such as the one for the Royal Academy of Music. Thank you!

Wikipedia content shold be based on reliable sources that are independent of the subject, such as articles in newspapers or reputable music magazines. Your sources largely are primary sources such as a book published by the BCCM itself or their own website. Others are not reliable; for example Tom Lee Music is a store, not a news agency, and their website is unlikely to be subject to editorial oversight. You will probably have to rewrite the article significantly so it becomes a summary of what reliable third-party sources have to say about the Conservatory. Huon (talk) 03:09, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/BeatDeck

Why was my submission not accepted? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Josh2bmd (talk • contribs) 03:42, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Your submission was not accepted because it lacked sufficient coverage in reliable third-party sources to establish the company's notability. For that, we require multiple good sources of at least a paragraph each about the company. Self-published blogs are not considered reliable and should not be used as sources.

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/New Warriors Arena will be a arena for the Golden State Warriors in San Francisco, California. Plan to open in 2017. The arena will replace the warriors current arena in Oakland, California.

Can you change the title to New Warriors Arena 108.240.222.57 (talk) 03:45, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Technically I could, but it seems a little premature for such an article when they haven't even started building it. When the draft is accepted the reviewer will move it to an appropriate title anyway. Huon (talk) 04:42, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Bernadette Pajer

I resubmitted the article with references, as requested. But I'm new and can't tell if my references are still there or if I need to retype them. The REFERENCES section is blank, but has 5 numbers. Jelafi17 (talk) 06:59, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

The references should be added to the article text itself, immediately after the statement they are cited for. The footnotes will be automatically displayed in the references section by the {{reflist}} template, and the small numbers which will appear in the text itself will link to the corresponding footnote. I've moved the {{reflist}} template below the references so they are visible, but you should move the references to the appropriate places. Huon (talk) 15:13, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Radio Directory

I am missing a article taking up information of this services, it exist many directories that can be a own list beside internet radios. Should i create one or is it lack of interest/references to create a good article about that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.47.143.92 (talk) 07:31, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

We have a callbook article which covers a certain kind of radio directory. I'm not sure whether there's enough to be said about radio directories in general to write an article on them; if you know of good sources to write such an article, you can use the Article Wizard to write a draft.

Wikipedia itself is not a directory, but we do have various lists of radio stations; see for example the list of radio stations in Sweden. Huon (talk) 15:13, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Richard J. McCollough

Hello, this is all new and I look forward to learning how to do it right. What do I have to do to get this article edited properly and then published? I appreciate your help and guidance.---Richard — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.100.134.199 (talk) 11:58, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

This draft cites no reliable sources that are independent of the subject, such as articles in newspapers or reputable magazines. Instead it only cites primary sources such as the websites of organizations McCollough is affiliated with, or YouTube videos of his own films. Wikipedia requires third-party coverage, both to allow our readers to verify the article's content and to establish that McCollough is notable enough for an article in the first place. See also WP:Referencing for beginners on how to easily create nicely-formatted footnotes. Finally, if you are yourself McCollough, you may want to have a look at our guideline on conflicts of interest; writing an autobiography is strongly discouraged. Huon (talk) 15:13, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Fly Panda Article creation

Hi I am trying to prove Fly Panda's notability in order to have their Wikipedia article approved (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Fly_Panda). My last edit was declined due to inadequate sources.

Would this new mtv music profile prove notability? http://www.mtv.com/artists/fly-panda/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.83.182.174 (talk) 16:22, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

No. That profile was submitted by the artists themselves and is not under MTV's editorial control. What the band writes about itself cannot establish its notability; we need reliable third-party sources such as newspaper articles or reviews published in reputable music magazines for that.

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Ecoburb

I have attempted to submit an article "Ecoburb" listed above in the subject line for review. It keeps coming back saying not submitted for review after I press "save article." How do I submit this for review? CynthialouisegCynthialouiseg 17:08, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

The "currently not submitted" message is an artefact; the submission instructions explicitly tell you to "simply ignore the old (grey) drafted templates". Usually a bot will clean that up; here Joe Decker did so. The draft is correctly submitted for review; you may want to check Joe Decker's comment, though. Huon (talk) 18:07, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Articles for Creation "Garnet Capital Advisors"

Hi, before making necessary updates/changes to "Garnet Capital Advisors" creation page I was wondering for further clarification on the notability required to move forward in the process. Also, what type of sources are not considered applicable vs. which ones are.

Thanks, Danman13190 (talk) 17:35, 22 May 2013 (UTC)danman13190

Notability requires significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, such as articles in newspapers or reputable trade magazines. See also WP:CORP for more specific notability guidelines. Press releases are not considered reliable because they are not subject to editorial oversight. Websites of organizations closely associated with the subject (such as a conference websites detailing the conference speakers, or the AABD reporting on their new director) are considered primary sources; they are not independent. A bare-bones business directory such as this is not considered significant coverage. Huon (talk) 18:07, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Media Development Investment Fund - How to change the name of a company?

There's an article in there for Media Development Loan Fund, but the organization changed it's name. I tried resubmitting a brand new article but it says that it's a duplicate. I can't find a way to change the actual name of Media Development Loan Fund. Any ideas? — Preceding unsigned comment added by ShubhaBala (talk • contribs) 19:18, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Just change the name in the title on that page. If the article is accepted after review, the reviewer, hopefully, will give it the right name. LionMans Account (talk) 20:36, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Made in Egypt (MIE)

extended content

Made In Egypt (MIE) is a University-Industry linkage program founded and organized by IEEE Egypt GOLD affinity group, that aims at bridging the gap between the academic community - including both research and educational sectors - and the industrial community. MIE Competition first took place in 2005. Our contribution mainly lies in creating suitable models of cooperation between both communities that enrich the national industry and production and lift up the academic standards to create a better impact on the industrial and economic development in Egypt.

History and Vision

The competition module was initially bench-marked against a similar program at the University of Florida and has been held for 6 years in form of Competition with a goal to create a link between the industry and university through graduation projects of the senior year students in Engineering & Computer Science universities. A project to be admitted to the MIE Competition, it has to be sponsored by a non-Academic organization and the team of students have to solve an industrial problem or introduce a new product to the market.

The expected outcome of MIE competition is to produce:

• A functional prototype to be a base for a product that fulfills one of the following:

o Develop new technological prototypes or services with significant market value.

o Substitute a similar imported product.

o Fulfilling sponsor needs in general where applicable.

• A Team equipped with:

o MIE’s vision in developing Egypt through innovative ideas, and products.

o Communications skills to build and maintain a productive relationship with the team and within external entities.

o Technical skills to develop a functional prototype.

o Knowledge to solve problems, develop projects, and seize opportunities whenever they might be found.

o Entrepreneurial skills.

Competition Phases

Each team has to go through number of phases in order to produce a functional prototype and fulfill the competition requirements, these phases mainly are:

Phase one: Admission and Registeration. Registration for the competition is done through the registration web page on www.mie.eg.

Phase Two: Initial Selection and Filtration (1st Filtration point). The Filtration criteria are based on the project abstract, Team HR Application and the team video. Then, each accepted team will be assigned a Team Coordinator.

Phase Three: Induction Training and Workshop. Training topics are set in coordination with the sponsor companies to ensure the delivery of an integrated package to the participating teams. It includes basic business and interpersonal skills required for the completion of the project successfully.

Phase Four: Project & Sponsors submission (2nd Filtration point). Each team shall submit project proposal, Product Design and Development Report, and Industry University Link application that shows the details of the deal with the sponsor. The selected best teams are those with the actual technical mentor-ship which have the ability to deliver high quality prototypes, and our target is to find projects with quality rather than admitting a large number of teams.

1. Create the article in its own page starting WP:WIZ. 2. Make sure you have references. LionMans Account (talk) 20:40, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Trinidad and Tobago Chess Championship

Good day

There are no hard copy documents to verify the information presented. The references, newspaper articles, and FIDE web pages presented are what is available. An official from the Trinidad & Tobago Chess Association may be contacted to verify the information.

I looked at the pages from some of the other chess associations like the Albania Chess Championship and the verification sources presented were similar.

What more sources are required for the article Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Trinidad and Tobago Chess Championship given these circumstances? Watcher56 (talk) 21:30, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

If the only published information about the organisation is from the organisation itself, then it is not a suitable topic for Wikipedia. Sorry. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 21:57, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

If the "Trinidad Guardian" is a newspaper/news website with proper editorial control (as opposed to a personal blog) then the articles in it may be sufficient to establish notability although it is preferrable to have citations from at least two separate publications - so take a look at other news media. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 09:41, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

I have followed the suggestion to add another National Newspaper's (Newsday) articles. I also corrected the links to the USA Drum Web Site's stories.04:17, 25 May 2013 (UTC)Watcher56 (talk)

Review of User:Cooper Sisters/sandbox

Hi,

I submitted an article for review 3 or 4 weeks ago, yet it still says my article is waiting to be reviewed. Can you tell me if there is something I am doing incorrectly?

It is [ [Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Berkeley Hall School] ]

Thank you!

Cooper Sisters (talk) 21:42, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Actually that draft was submitted for review on May 8, not quite two weeks ago. There's currently a backlog of almost a thousand submissions awaiting review, so it may take two weeks until a draft is reviewed. I've had a look at yours, but I had to decline it because most of the content was not verifiable from reliable sources. I don't think the single local newspaper article is enough to establish the school's notability either. Huon (talk) 22:09, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
