02:44:39, 21 February 2017 review of submission by Janweh64

[edit source]
Added several new reliable sources. Including The Pioneer: [1], The Statesman: [2], The Hindu: [3], Forbes India: [4], The Economic Times: [5], Deccan Herald: [6], Daily News and Analysis: [7] [8], and new article (not profile) from Business Standard: [9].
Please note my paid COI declared on the articles talk page. —አቤል ዳዊት?(Janweh64) (talk) 04:25, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
Hello, Janweh. Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. Our apologies for the delay in response. You've produced a draft that is neutrally-worded and reliably-sourced, but I'm still not convinced of the notability of the company. The problem I have is with the significance of the sources. Although they are precisely the types of sources that would be needed to fill in the history of a notable company, I suspect that you would say they do more than that -- that they actually establish the company's notability. I would not agree, because I see them only as examples of the routine coverage that is ubiquitous in the modern financial press. For notability, I look for something more. And what we have here is an Indian purveyor of luxury watches with plans to open shops in China. To me, that isn't encyclopedic. And so, I'll not be the one to accept your draft for publication. Then again, another reviewer -- especially one that is less familiar with the financial press -- might find notability in all of these routine announcements. I hope this response has been helpful.

Thank you for your response, my faith in AfC and Wikipedia as a whole is restored. I do not mind long delays when they are followed by such focused attention. I will let the matter stand as it is indefinitely unless someone else sees fit to take it on or significant developments occur.—አቤል ዳዊት?(Janweh64) (talk) 19:20, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

03:02:50, 21 February 2017 review of submission by Janweh64

[edit source]

I have added 23 new citations more than doubling the number of sources. References of particular note are: The Los Angeles Times, The Hollywood Reporter, Signature Magazine, and Dime Magazine which discuss Doleac in length. Also of note are cites 25 a thru e and 46 a thru h which are critics reviews from news organizations like SF Weekly, The Hollywood Reporter, The New York Times, The Village Voice, two from Los Angeles Times, Starburst Magazine, and Film Journal International. I should point out I have a COI declared in the articles talk page, my user page, and discussed with User:Winged Blades of Godric on his talk page.

How much is enough to establish notability? This article now contains over 40 secondary reliable sources and a couple dozen primary sources, profiles and such.

Please help me to get this article live. I have done every possible changes to verify the notability. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amitpandeys0281 (talk • contribs) 10:14, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

Hello, Amitpandeys. Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. Our apologies for the delay in response. I've declined your submission, essentially because of the lack of significant sourcing. More detail has been provided in a comment at the top of your draft. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. NewYorkActuary (talk) 19:37, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

09:33:31, 21 February 2017 review of submission by 020pietro

[edit source]

Hello, I am creating this wiki as an official page for this individual. There are a number of variant spellings and names he is known as across wikipedia (ie. Sacha Newley, Alexander Sacha Newly, Sacha Alexander Newley). Can you tell me please how it is possible to divert them to this page from these variants- so that it his page is easy to find and does not confuse people? Thank you, Peter

020pietro (talk) 09:33, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

Hi 020pietro - I actually noticed a much bigger and more pressing problem with your draft. While not an exact copy of the bio from the subject's website, it would be an understatement to say that the draft's wording leans very heavily on that source. You should immediately go in and reword the whole thing to avoid a copyright issue, paraphrasing the information instead of borrowing the wording directly. While there, it would be good to remove any non-neutral assertions - leading, iconic, and similar terms. If the subject is really leading or iconic, the objective descriptions of his work will bear that out. See WP:NPOV for more info. This neutrality thing is part of what makes a Wikipedia entry a lot different from a PR piece or a subject's own website. Thanks. EricEnfermero (Talk) 10:02, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

Request on 16:11:00, 21 February 2017 for assistance on AfC submission by Diagonal579

[edit source]

To whom it may concern: Our article Fluendo S.A. has been deleted twice for the following reasons: This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. It's not satisfying our main policy WP:What Wikipedia is not and it continually mirrors only what they would advertise to clients and, instead, not what an informative non-PR article says. We would like to know how to improve our content because we have tried to advertise the minimum and add links to reliable sources as websites or other Wikipedia articles, but it is still not enough. Thank you very much for your attention and your time. The content of the article was:

Fluendo 16:11, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

Your submission is, indeed, merely an advertisement. WP: Wikipedia is not a soapbox for you to advertise your products. This reasoning is sufficient for deletion. I hope I cleared an questions you may have had. If you have any further questions, please reply below this message by beginning your response with :: or use {{Ping|NotTheFakeJTP}} to respond to me directly.

@Diagonal579: Can I clarify that you meant what you said when you said "Our article"? As in multiple people are using this account? JTP (talk • contribs) 23:02, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

Requesting help to update the Maritz, LLC article

[edit source]

Hello! I am not sure if this is the best place to ask for help, but I submitted an edit request to expand the Maritz, LLC Wikipedia article and I am wondering if there is a Help desk member who would be willing to review my proposed draft and copy over content to the current article as appropriate. I am not getting any feedback on the edit request I submitted so I thought I’d try to find help here. I also asked for help at WikiProject Companies. I realize submitting an edit request is different than going through the articles for creation process, but my proposed draft is a major expansion to the existing article, similar to submitting a new article. Thanks for your consideration, and sorry if this is not an appropriate space to ask for help. MadisonfromStanding (talk) 17:27, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

Hello, Madison. Our apologies for the delay in response. I understand why you're asking here -- the article did indeed go through the Articles for Creation process, but that was about seven years ago. Also note that, although the Edit Request backlog is currently a little more than 100 requests, our backlog here is more than 800 submissions. Perhaps someone here will be inclined to address your request, but I think it unlikely. I regret that I cannot be of any further help. NewYorkActuary (talk) 19:49, 22 February 2017 (UTC)
