Hello, I was revising the draft article for Draft:Aqababe and I know that you were the person that had originally declined the draft article when I had submitted it for review. I've read through the reasoning for the declination. I made sure there were no peacock terms. I tried to revise the article to put the wording in a neutral point of view with the reliable sources in accordance with your reasoning for the declination. I was wondering if you have any suggestions on making sure that the article is in a formal encyclopedic tone while being in a neutral point of view. That might be a big ask if there are several suggestions. I tried to write the Early life and Career and Legal issues sections of the article almost like a summary with details in each subsection, while putting the lead section header in an inverted pyramid style to try to keep that section concise enough. I also tried to expand the sources to have them be included in the lead section as well. I feel stuck and I was just wondering if you had any suggestions. Thank you.

Hi @IZ041: cheers, thanks for editing the page! I can see where you improved the tone and point of view but I still worry it might look a bit like an attack page. Not an accusing you of anything, but keep in mind the conflict of interest and NPOV guidelines. If you want, you can resubmit the draft for review now that you've improved it.

That makes sense @MelbourneIdentity:, I did include in the talk page of the draft article the indicator that the article is a biography of a living person and that any information considered to be libellous should be removed. I also made sure to include an indicator to show that this article is an English translation of the article on the French Wikipedia. When I translated the article on French Wikipedia from French to English, I was often using the translation that came out as the end result, with the only exception being having adapt things like grammar and slight word adjustments to make the article make sense in the English language. I just want to point out that the article in question was translated from French and since, the individual in question is in France and the sources for the article, are majority, in French, I wanted to make sure the article met Wikipedia's guidelines and thus, I started the article as a draft first so that it can be reviewed and approved first so that it wouldn't warrant a deletion nomination and/or proposal. Thank you. IZ041 (talk) 21:40, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

@MelbourneIdentity: I also tried to improve the lead section (intro section) in the article to make it more neutral to meet NPOV. I have no connection with the subject as well, so there should be no conflict of interest to be concerned with. I know that the content concerning the subject is controversial hence the attack page concerns. There is a lot of he said/she said with the various topics hence why I tried to rephrase the part of the lead section to state that the subject publishes information that is at times disputed and/or proven false given the sensitive nature of the subject in addition to the other areas where the tone could be made softer to ensure NPOV is met. One thing that is making things tough is the fact that there are pending legal cases with the subject and the fact that the subject has admitted to publishing false information as well. I'll resubmit the draft for review, but I don't know if it would get approved. Thank you. IZ041 (talk) 01:30, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

Hi MelbourneIdentity-

I noticed my draft for Quince (company) was not approved because of source reliability/independence issues. This is something I'm learning more about. Some of the sources (such as WSJ) are green/reliable according to Perennial Sources. But perhaps others are known for less independent content. I was curious if there was a specific source you had particular issue with? Maybe I can find a better one!

Are you from Melbourne if you don't mind my asking? I spent a semester there a while ago haha JamesH97 (talk) 02:34, 3 January 2026 (UTC)

Hi @JamesH97: some of the sources are primary sources, but you should try to find independent sources to verify information. The pages linked in the comments on your draft will help you to understand better. MelbourneIdentity (talk) 22:10, 8 January 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for this guidance. I removed three primary sources (including clay, the org and collectiveliquidity--these were primary sources of lists). Added in a more reliable one, and for many the points were supported by other sources anyway so I didn't really need those primary sources.

Can you let me know if you have any other specific suggestions of things to add/change, or other improvements that I can make to it?

Cheers JamesH97 (talk) 02:18, 11 January 2026 (UTC)

thank you. It helped me to understand the Wiki. I started topic on the Talk page which refers to the problem you mentioned. Now it looks resolved so I re-submitted draft. if needs I will make similar topic on the talk page on Draft:Hyperliquid as well, lmk. Belle Femme Emmo (talk) 11:09, 9 January 2026 (UTC)
