Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (November 7)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Timtrent were:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

This is all gossip column stuff. Forbes 30 under 30 is intended to sell copies of Forbes. There's nothing notable about being in the list, nor in any of their lists. You need to look for real referencers, dump the poor ones and decide whether Ndamase is truly notable. So far you have not demonstrated that

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to User:Firearies/sandbox and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Firearies[edit]

A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Firearies, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be advertising which only promotes or publicises someone or something. Promotional editing of any kind is not permitted, whether it be promotion of a person, company, product, group, service, belief, or anything else. This is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages — user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources or advertising space. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 20:43, 7 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You may not draft articles on your user page 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 20:44, 7 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Timtrent, Hi, I did not know that articles are not supposed to be put on user page. I tried deleting it and moving it to sandbox, where i submitted it for review. FYI, I am not here to promote anyone. The reason I chose Ndamase as a subject is because she is a big internet personality in South Africa. I will attempt to remove the content on my user page again. This was my first experience with Wikipedia and you are such a bully. Firearies (talk) 20:51, 7 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

When you create your user page it tells you very clearly that the user page is not the place for articles. But it has been deleted.

The draft is at User:Firearies/sandbox and requires work 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 04:43, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Timtrent when you say that the sources for the article are "tabloids" what do you mean? Wikipedia says that reliable sources have an author, are independent of the subject and are mainly about the subject. Some of the sources are newspaper articles so how are they "tabloids"? Firearies (talk) 07:58, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please read WP:RS more closely. Not all newspapers are reliable sources, and not all portions of otherwise reliable newspapers are reliable 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 13:02, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, User:Firearies/sandbox[edit]

Hello, Firearies. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "sandbox".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, 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.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 20:59, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
