Hello, Discopleasant! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Qcne (talk) 22:18, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I’ll see to it. Can I resubmit the article again for review once I make the changes? (Discopleasant (talk) 22:24, 12 May 2024 (UTC))[reply]

@Discopleasant yep! Make sure you prove notability under WP:NORG. Qcne (talk) 22:37, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'd also recommend a bit of a re-write, as "Since the channel's transition into a podcast it began gaining fast recognition and many clips from its episodes..." isn't very encyclopedic. You need to write neutrally. Qcne (talk) 22:37, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Understood. Thanks. (Discopleasant (talk) 22:50, 12 May 2024 (UTC))[reply]

One question, how many times an I allowed to submit the draft for review? (Discopleasant (talk) 17:45, 13 May 2024 (UTC))[reply]

There isn't a limit on how many times you can re-submit, but after each decline reviewers like to see substantial improvements that have met all the suggestions they've made. If your draft is rejected it means it won't be considered further and you can't re-submit. Happy for you to ping me here and I will have another look at the draft before you submit for review, to do a sort of pre-review. Qcne (talk) 21:55, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! (Discopleasant (talk) 21:56, 13 May 2024 (UTC))[reply]

Btw does someone’s linkedin account count as a reliable source? Probably not but still willing to know. (Discopleasant (talk) 01:04, 14 May 2024 (UTC))[reply]

@Discopleasant depends what you are sourcing - you can use primary sources in a limited way to cite straightforward facts - such as a LinkedIn post stating someone had a new job could be used to cite their employment, but we would prefer secondary sources. Qcne (talk) 07:26, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I understand. It’s to cite the creator’s current occupation and the info that shows he’s the creator of the channel. (Discopleasant (talk) 17:56, 14 May 2024 (UTC))[reply]

Could be okay, check WP:LINKEDIN Qcne (talk) 19:40, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently I couldn’t link the guy’s linkedin to the official site, but his IG does, so… guess I’m using his IG. (Discopleasant (talk) 01:28, 15 May 2024 (UTC))[reply]

That could work, just use it sparingly! Qcne (talk) 08:40, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've closed it as it doesn't belong there but I expect the editor will take this to WP:SPI. Doug Weller talk 09:09, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. And btw, I’m not the sockpuppet the other user is accusing me of being. How accurate are these sockpuppet investigations? (Discopleasant (talk) 15:09, 15 July 2024 (UTC))[reply]

Hi Doug I hope everything's alright. Is there a way an admin can confirm that Im not the sockpuppet Barjimoa is accusing me of being, considering he’s already staking my edits and I just wanna get this done with. (Discopleasant (talk) 08:22, 8 August 2024 (UTC))[reply]

Hello, Discopleasant. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Whatever".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 19:36, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks… It’s been a while since I been here. (Discopleasant (talk) 11:14, 19 January 2026 (UTC))[reply]
