Your submission at Articles for creation: The 30th Sultan of Darfur (April 7)

Draft declined

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. Your draft submission to Articles for creation has been reviewed but not accepted at this time.

Feedback

The reviewer, ChrysGalley, left the following feedback:

This draft's references do not show that the person meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion for people. The draft requires multiple published secondary sources that:

provide significant coverage: discuss the person in detail, not brief mentions or interviews lacking independent analysis;
are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight;
are independent: not connected to the person, such as interviews, press releases, the subject's own website, or sponsored content.

Please add references that meet all three of these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia.

This draft duplicates another submission, The 30th Sultan of the of the Islamic Sultanate of Darfur, currently submitted for review. To save time, we will review the other submission only. Any future edits or improvements should be made on that submission, not here.

Insufficiently sourced and a duplicate. Also read WP:COI and respond to any requirements there.

Hello ChrysGerry,

How can I publish this for the first time? Dezilfa (talk) 08:39, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

@Dezilfa - firstly decide which draft you want to use, and apply to have the other draft deleted. Secondly, and more importantly, you need to meet the WP:GOLDENRULE - you need ideally three totally reliable and very good quality sources. If you do not have that, wait until you find them. ChrysGalley (talk) 09:05, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

delete the other one Dezilfa (talk) 09:42, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

Thanks @Dezilfa, and you almost got that right, but there were "nowiki" tags around it so it wouldn't work. I've removed those, but it's possible there may be some further challenge on that. But hopefully that is the first part sorted. Focus on the other draft and make sure you have really good quality sources. ChrysGalley (talk) 09:48, 7 April 2026 (UTC)
