- @Riche Richard: there is no evidence that this person is notable. You need to provide evidence that they meet either the general WP:GNG or the special WP:NACTOR notability guideline. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:42, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There are no references, because this person is anonymous, it does not promote anything. Other than just speaking fondly of the persons Forex trading capability. Gerald Bergstein (talk) 11:25, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

- It is not even biased, I do not understand this judgement. He is simply apart of the LGBTQ community and is clearing facing critism for this.

- Okay well if that is the case could I know how I could improve the bilbiography of this person, in order to publish this, also additional question how do I add images to an article. Gerald Bergstein (talk) 11:34, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- The draft has been deleted as spam, @Gerald Bergstein. If you wanted to start again with the draft you need to very carefully read Wikipedia:Notability (people) - Wikipedia only hosts articles about topics that pass our notability criteria. If there are no reliable, published, secondary sources about this person then he does not pass the notability criteria, and there can not be an article. qcne (talk) 11:35, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, this isn't the place to speak fondly of anything, that's what social media is for. 331dot (talk) 11:28, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Which sections need citation to satisfy that this information about the Hall is accurate and truthful? Aleksboch (talk) 14:36, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi @Aleksboch, we generally require at least three independent sources that discuss the Hall in depth and in detail, in order to satisfy Wikipedia:Notability. qcne (talk) 14:41, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Hello, @Aleksboch. The problem is that Wikipedia has little interest in what the subject of an article says or wants to say about themselves, or what their associates say about them. Wikipedia is almost entirely interested in what people who have no connection with the subject, and who have not been prompted or fed information on behalf of the subject, have chosen to publish about the subject in reliable sources. If enough material is cited from independent sources to establish notability, a limited amount of uncontroversial factual information may be added from non-independent sources.
- Writing an article starts by finding several sources, each of which is reliably published, isindependent of the subject, and contains significant coverage of the subject. If you an't find several such sources, the subject is almost certainly not notable in Wikipedia's sense, and no article is possbile. See WP:42 ColinFine (talk) 14:59, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello,
I would like to ask for help publishing my article about "Register.BG".
The company is popular in Bulgaria and it is the top level domain registry in the country. The company has its roots from the late 1980s and it has a rich history in contribution of the development the internet society.
I added all possible references that I found online, however the page publication was denied. Can you please give me an advice what else i can do to have this page accepted.
Kind Regards!
Nick Nickpetersen2023 (talk) 14:52, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi @Nickpetersen2023, we require independent sources (generally at least three) that discuss the company in significant detail. Wikipedia isn't interested in sources that just state the company exists without any analysis/discussion. It looks like most of your sources are just about the TLD process without any that discuss the company itself?
- If those are the only sources that exist, then I am afraid an article wouldn't be possible at this time. If it helps, sources can also be offline (i.e. books or newspapers), as long as they have been published. qcne (talk) 15:02, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Hello.
- Some of the sources are very credible including the ones from IANA (www.iana.org) and ICANN (www.icann.org). ICANN is a well known non-profit organization selected by the US government to manage and develop the internet zone. IANA is a US government agency to manage the internet root zone.
- In all these references there is an information that the company Register.BG is assigned to be a public top level domain registry for the country of Bulgaria.
- Having in mind the credibility of the sources what else we can do to publish the page.
- Kind Regards! Nickpetersen2023 (talk) 15:20, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi @Nickpetersen2023, I don't disagree the sources you have used aren't credible. They are. That's not the issue here. The issue is the sources don't devote significant coverage to the company. qcne (talk) 15:25, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi,
- I have just updated the page by adding additional references. Can you please take a look at the most recent edit and give us your opinion if the page now can be approved? Your help is greatly appreciated!!
- Thanks,
- Nick Nickpetersen2023 (talk) 16:40, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- The three new sources you added are just database listings, and don't provide that significant coverage of the company. qcne (talk) 16:43, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- References 1,5 and 8 are not a database listings.
- Regards,
- Nick Nickpetersen2023 (talk) 16:48, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Sorry - was looking at the previous version.
- 1: icannwiki.org: Can't be used, a user generated Wiki.
- 5: ruskov-law.eu: Mentions the company once, briefly. Not significant coverage.
- 8 register.bg: The companies website, not independent.

- @Nickpetersen2023, you might find WP:42 helpful - it lays out what you need in your sources. All three criteria must be met for a source to be useful to you. StartGrammarTime (talk) 19:17, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you for your help.
- Here are the latest links that I found and added in the draft:
- Position 1: "Register.BG - Registration and use of domain names at ccTLD registry"
- Position 10: "Bulgaria Internet Company Launches Domain Names in Cyrillic - Novinite.com - Sofia News Agency".
- Postion 3 (previously added):
- "Domain Registration and Transfer - SuperHosting"
Can you please take a look when you have time and say if the 3 sources are acceptable?
- Best Regards,

Hello! The given draft's application was rejected for not being notable enough, so I have added a lot more information alongside reliable, secondary citations, independent of the subject. Reading the entire article, I am pretty sure the notability is getting across EarthDude (talk) 15:21, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

why was this draft rejected Photoplayweb (talk) 17:46, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Bonadea,
Thank you for reviewing my submission. I see that the topic was not considered notable according to Wikipedia's standards. Could you provide more details on what aspects can be improved to make the topic eligible for inclusion?
I appreciate your help and guidance.
Thank you very much, Mahmoudali123 (talk) 21:20, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi @Mahmoudali123. If those are the only sources that you have about Luca then there is nothing more you can do: we cannot create notability out of nowhere. qcne (talk) 22:46, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
