@RangersRus: Draft:Anuradhapura invasion of Chola Kingdom (114-136)

In the last discussion you said that you would check the sources and let me know and its been almost two months and still no answer and clearly the sources which i provided show the historical accuracy of the event and i hope i get a resolution regarding the draft. Thanks TeenX808 (talk) 10:34, 13 December 2025 (UTC)

From the discussion we had, remove all unreliable sources and its content. Only use reliable sources by actual academics who are historians and modern era sources. Please rewrite article with neutrality as per what each historians say about the incident as real and myth. RangersRus (talk) 01:06, 15 December 2025 (UTC)

@RangersRus: i will update it and let you know, should the last section be removed which gives a overview of all historians and their thoughts on the event. Thanks TeenX808 (talk) 20:51, 15 December 2025 (UTC)

@RangersRus: Hi i couldn't start the article because i was busy, I have mentioned in the places which are exaggerated should i remove the legacy info and add which info are directly mythical ?

Almost every single author is a historian and says similar info to the rest.

If all the problems are fixed shall i resubmit. TeenX808 (talk) 04:36, 23 January 2026 (UTC)

There was more to this discussion that we talked about and you have not addressed it. Please see what I said last. RangersRus (talk) 10:55, 24 January 2026 (UTC)

@RangersRus: You asked me to remove the mythical elements and i did plus added a source also mentioned how some historians consider the event exaggerated.

The reason you might think more should be removed is the mention of the giant which was never included in the article and for some reason brought up in the discussion. if i missed something please can you point out and i will do the change. Thanks

My brother,I see lies on your part. Georgy Chervinsky is mentioned in all the top media outlets in Russia.He worked at the Greek Cultural Center, which speaks to his internationality.He went on tour to Europe and England, if you had thoroughly understood it, I’m sure there wouldn’t have been any problems.RangersRus-I look forward to your comments. Jamescopperfieldd (talk) 09:17, 29 January 2026 (UTC)

Regarding your rejection of Cherie Lily

Thank you for reviewing the article, but I have a few problems with your assesment.

First, I was already engaged in a back-and-forth with @SportingFlyer and was going to respond to their inquiry with some listed out citations, I just needed more time to do so.

More importantly, your assessment that most of the sources involve her work with Drag Race artists is, bluntly, erroneous. Far and a way, that characterizes a small minority of the sources. Of the 71 citations, this is how they break down:

Sources about Cherie Lily, on or her solo music or overall career/biographical (by and large don't mention Drag Race) - 34

Work with Andrew WK/Lee Scratch Perry/To Live and Shave in LA(NOT DRAG RACE ARTISTS) - 8

Significant TV appearances (not including Andrew WK) - 7

Lily's work work with Cazwell (NOT AFFILIATED WITH DRAG RACE) - 4

Other secondary sources that mention Lily but don't focus on her solely (Lists of "Ballroom Anthems" or "Hot Tracks", cameo appearance etc) - 5

Articles about her role with Voss Events artist management/RuPaul's Drag Race - 4

Work with Kevin Aviance (NOT a Drag Race artist) - 3

Additional mentions of Lily/Lily's work with Amanda Lepore (NOT a Drag Race artist) -3

Articles about her production for Yvie Oddly (Drag Race winner, but the articles aren't about drag race) - 3 (2 Yvie Oddly videos listing CL as producer, one Entertainment Weekly Feature about the song)

So generously we're talking about 7 sources out of the 71. Hardly the majority. In fact nearly half of them are articles about Cherie Lily specifically, not including her 7 significant TV show appearances.

My draft makes her involvement in LGTBQ culture explicit in a few places. You seem to be construing every artist in this category as directly related to RuPaul's Drag Race. That is not the case, in fact, I addressed this in my Talk section post, which I called out in the comments.

Music and LGBTQ culture are both deep and expansive areas of knowledge. I understand that not everyone is as familiar with these areas as I am but I am trying my best to help the reviewers along. FogleMorplethorpe (talk) 15:13, 29 January 2026 (UTC)

Maybe I didn't make myself clear with my comment. From all the sources on the page, most mention and maybe some notable work was for Ru Paul show. Everything else you mentioned about, I do not see them as any Substantial achievement noteworthy. What i would recommend is that while the page is in decline state, please make improvements with sources that speaks out loud on her achievements, awards, any song on national or international chart and so. Then resubmit the draft for review and likely me or some other reviewer will take a look at again. RangersRus (talk) 17:41, 29 January 2026 (UTC)

I appreciate your response, but this is also incorrect. In fact, she never worked for Rupaul's Drag Race apart from her musical production work for the Werq the World tour (which is cited although not direclty mentioned in my draft). Apart from that, the connection to Drag Race is due to her being an employee of Voss Events and the founder of a label called Chervana. These businesses serve clients, a number of whom are RuPaul's Drag Race performers, but whose notoriety extends beyond the show as discussed in their respective Wikipedia articles.

(Virtually every contestant on RuPaul's Drag Race is a notable drag performer prior to their participation in the show; yes for many of them it's the most notorious thing they have done and helps their careers, but it is not as if all of their notorious contributions stem from their connection to it. It is incorrect to suggest that work done by these artists' record labels or management on behalf of these artists should construed as directly for or officially associated with Rupaul's Drag Race. That is far from the case.)

As I noted in my first comment, the vast majority of secondary reliable sources cited, and I have cited many, are coverage of Cherie Lily and her contributions to fitness, her proprietary music career, or her high-profile collaborations/production work with artists OUTSIDE of RuPaul's Drag Race. Some of these are even accolades such as creating a "Ballroom Anthem" (Resident Advisor) or one of "2015's Hottest Dance Beat." There are extensive articles covering her music, including a track premier by TimeOut Magazine. She is mentioned by a Brown University scholar as "an icon of the gay scene". She is a featured guest on several television shows as a named/headlining guest. She performed around the world, including on Conan Obrien's show on TBS, with Andrew W.K. The Lee "Scratch" Perry album that she sang and contributed percussion on was nominated for a Grammy and covered widely in the music press, including the video documentary that Cherie Lily is in. Her music videos have racked up millions of views across services. She had a "Need To Know" feature in one of the country's top LGBTQ magazines.

IMPORTANT: NEARLY ALL of these accolades and achievements came BEFORE her employment with Voss which is the company hired by many of the Drag Race contestants -- which didn't start until 2019. In 2025, she started the Chervana label, and the first album they have released, Kevin Aviance's (again - no association with RuPaul's Drag Race) HIPPOPOTAMUS, has received much coverage including a Billboard Magazine feature that delves deep into Lily's role in creating the music. Contrary to your claim, the vast majority of my citations simply do not mention Voss OR RuPaul's Drag Race.

I have done my best to follow the recommendations of other reviewers, and was in the middle of addressing the concerns of @SportingFlyer when you rejected me on completely separate grounds. At this point, the goalpost has been moved a number of times. FogleMorplethorpe (talk) 18:12, 29 January 2026 (UTC)

Apart from that, the connection to Drag Race is due to her being an employee of Voss Events and the founder of a label called Chervana. This is what I meant about her association or connection with Ru Paul Drag Race. When AFC draft is open for review, any AFC reviewer can jump to review it and won't be aware who you have been working with. So if you are working with someone, great, plus use the suggestions I recommended as well to resubmit for review. RangersRus (talk) 19:16, 29 January 2026 (UTC)

Thank you, but the draft already spells all of this out in the "Business roles" section at the bottom of the draft, and all of that information is supported with citations.

1. The summary bio mentions that she managed "the careers of Drag Race contestants", not that she worked for Drag Race. The topic of her business roles connected to Rupaul's Drag Race are connected to 7 of the 71 citations.
2. The other citations demonstrate notable contributions in other areas of entertainment - as a musician, as a producer/songwriter, as a performer, and as a celebrity trainer. The business role at Voss for the Drag Race contestants, while it is discussed in 7 citations, is not nearly as prominent as the other contributions.
3. The 34 articles about Cherie or her music, the 7 highly visible TV appearances, and many articles discussing her collaborations or production work, by and large are not connected to Drag Race/Voss, and the vast majority of them were published prior to her working with Voss or founding Chervana in 2025.

I saw that you declined Draft:No Packers No Life. This documentary film appears to be notable, as it was extensively covered by national media outlets, with citations provided. The film was also released in theaters and appears to meet Wikipedia’s notability guidelines for films (WP:NFF).Yalzorneem (talk) 14:09, 31 January 2026 (UTC)

Looks good with multiple critical reviews. RangersRus (talk) 15:02, 1 February 2026 (UTC)

You declined Draft:Zamana as -exists-. Did you check what was at the title Zamana? Zamana is a disambiguation page. If a draft has the same name as a disambiguation page, then the draft should be disambiguated rather than declined. The disambiguated draft can then be accepted if it passes notability and verifiability, or declined for any of the usual reasons, mainly notability and verifiability. I have reverted your decline. However, I see that you have now accepted Zamana (2026 film), which is the correct disambiguation. So I will decline Draft:Zamana again, but will refer to the disambiguated title.

If a draft has the same title as a disambiguation page, the draft should be disambiguated (unless it obviously needs to be declined or rejected without determining what the title should be). Robert McClenon (talk) 20:18, 1 February 2026 (UTC)

Maybe I should have added comment that the page Zamana (2026 film) already exists and the draft is a duplicate of that page. RangersRus (talk) 22:00, 1 February 2026 (UTC)

If Shamima Begum is notable, and Aqsa Mahmood is notable, how is Nora El-Bahty not? Her disappearance made headlines internationally and there was a criminal trial, and an appeal, in France for the people who helped her get to Syria. Muffinbutt1985 (talk) 16:39, 2 February 2026 (UTC)

The coverage on Shamima Begum and Aqsa Mahmood is significant as compared to Nora but I see that the draft was a duplicate of an already existing page. So you don't need the draft anymore and work on improving the existing page to avoid getting nominated for WP:AFD. RangersRus (talk) 15:36, 3 February 2026 (UTC)

Nora is probably the best-known French woman (girl) to have joined the Syrian civil war and she got significant coverage. As much coverage as Aqsa in my opinion, not just in France but internationally. Look at the articles about her I used as sources. She is notable. Certainly more notable than, say, Sophie Kasiki, who also has her own entry and has for years. Muffinbutt1985 (talk) 15:38, 3 February 2026 (UTC)

Nora’s disappearance was covered by AP News and the Guardian as well as French media. Muffinbutt1985 (talk) 15:41, 3 February 2026 (UTC)

And by Arab media. And by CNN. So coverage in France, the US, the UK, and the Middle East. How is this not notable enough? Muffinbutt1985 (talk) 15:42, 3 February 2026 (UTC)

Please do not compare your page to other existing pages. Just because other pages exist, does not really mean they are notable or have no flaws. Its just that no one had time to go through and review the content and sources in detail. All I ask of you is to avoid the draft since Nora page already exists and improve the existing page with as much significant coverage you can find. By the way please share the link here about coverage by US and UK. RangersRus (talk) 16:02, 3 February 2026 (UTC)

They are all linked on Nora's existing page, in the sources.

So by US and UK, you actually meant CNN and Guardian. RangersRus (talk) 16:10, 3 February 2026 (UTC)

Are those not American and British media companies? Muffinbutt1985 (talk) 16:11, 3 February 2026 (UTC)

yes these are good. So Nora El-Bahty already exists. So anymore changes you need to make, you will have to make it here. No need for draft. RangersRus (talk) 16:14, 3 February 2026 (UTC)

Hi RangersRus, thanks for the feedback.

I've updated the draft to show why the club is notable beyond routine news. I added info about the owner (U Moe Aung Chaw) and our sports science partnership. Most importantly, this is the first women's club in Myanmar to sign foreign players (Kirara Ogawa from Japan and Alyssa Ube from the Philippines), a milestone covered by the ASEAN Football Federation. I believe this international coverage and the club's unique history now meet the notability standards. Could you please take another look? Thank you! ZyTun (talk) 03:51, 4 February 2026 (UTC)

Hello,

Thank you for your review, even if it was declined. I would like to have more information about why it was declined so as to make it better next time. Is it that the sources I have used aren't reliable for Wikipedia or is it that it's just passing mentions? Also, I would like to know what advice you could give me to get more chances to get my article published (in the measure of possible) please.

Thank you for your time,

Why the draft has been declining is because the child actor is not notable as per Wikipedia WP:NACTOR criteria. The child actor only had supporting role in one notable show "Wednesday". So actor needs to have a major role like lead in 2 or more notable films to pass notability where the coverage is significant in well known sources. RangersRus (talk) 13:37, 5 February 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for your answer @RangersRus, I appreciate your feedback. Thank you for the specificity of it too, I'll try again when he'll reach the criteria.

Have a nice day!

Maëlyshouin Maëlyshouin (talk) 10:12, 6 February 2026 (UTC)

Hello @RangersRus,

I'm really sorry to bother your more, but the list of Wednesday characters (List of Wednesday characters) says that Eugene Ottinger (actor: Moosa Mostafa), is a main role in both seasons. Does that count as one major role? Or is it put wrongly as a main role or is it simply not main as in main/important role?

Thank you for your pacience. Maëlyshouin (talk) 11:46, 6 February 2026 (UTC)

Other Wikipedia references are not considered reliable as they are edited by anyone. If the actor who played Eugene Ottinger got significant coverage like critical review on their acting or performance in Wednesday, then it can be considered notable role. Still, this will just be considered one. The actor needs one more major role to pass notability as an actor on Wikipedia. Hope this helps. RangersRus (talk) 14:31, 6 February 2026 (UTC)

Okay, thank you so much for clarifying that! Maëlyshouin (talk) 14:36, 7 February 2026 (UTC)

Hi RangersRus, thank you for reviewing my draft. I am a new editor trying to document a human rights lawyer. I understand I need better sources.

Could you please let me know if the issue is with the 'Kafila' sources? If I remove the blogs and keep only the academic/news sources, would that meet the standard? Thanks for your guidance. Icai.amca (talk) 01:54, 7 February 2026 (UTC)

Hello, I saw you declined the submission of Draft:All'Italia with this motivation:

Declining submission: music - Submission is about a musician or musical work not yet shown to meet notability guidelines

I'd like to point you out some very important things:

• Giacomo Leopardi is not a musician. He is one the most important, if not the most important, Italian poet of 19th century. He's the Italian equivalent to Byron or Yates from a literature standpoint. Stating that he is "a musician not yet meeting notability guidelines" sounds like stating "This article is about a rock song by a certain George Byron who has not yet shown to meet notability guidelines"
• All'Italia is not a song. It's a poetry, not intended at all to be a musical work not to be sung. It's everything but a "musical work"

I understand that you may have been misled by two incorrect terms ("lyric" instead of "poem" and "song" instead of "canzone"), but it seems you did not have a look at the article Giacomo Leopardi, that could have helped you in your evaluation. As a matter of fact, your decline was based on a serious misunderstanding about the argument of the article (one of the most important patriotic poetry in Italian literature, written in a moment when Italy was not yet united as a single Kingdom), and about the notability of the author (which is undoubtable). Leopardi is part of basic education of all Italians. To an Italian reader, your motivation for declining the submission of that Draft sounds totally out of scope. I think that, after fixing the incorrect terms, there are sound reasons for you to seriously reconsider your decision. Thanks. Superspritz (talk) 16:15, 8 February 2026 (UTC)

Hello! Thank you for reviewing my Draft:Sarah Pribis and for your feedback. I understand the concern that her roles in Dirty John and The Purge were minor and do not establish notability under WP:NACTOR.

However, her primary claim to notability is as one of the original and regular hosts of HQ Trivia, the viral mobile trivia app that peaked at millions of daily players and became a major cultural phenomenon in 2017–2018. She hosted live games for over a year (often filling in for Scott Rogowsky or as a main alternate), reaching audiences of up to 1 million+ per game, as covered in reliable sources including PhillyVoice, Business Insider, Refinery29, and Around Ambler. The app itself has a Wikipedia page, and she is listed among its hosts on the HQ (video game) article.

Scott Rogowsky, the primary host, has a Wikipedia page largely based on the same HQ Trivia role plus similar media coverage. Pribis has comparable if not more exposure and tenure, with additional independent coverage of her hosting.

She also starred in a lead role (Chloe Barlow) in the 2025 feature film Music City Mistletoe, a holiday romance-comedy distributed on Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video, and other platforms.

If specific additions or adjustments would help meet the guidelines, please let me know, I'm happy to revise. Thank you again for your time! Sea2sky (talk) 16:43, 22 February 2026 (UTC)

@RangersRus, thank you for reviewing my draft! Could you please explain the decline reason in more detail? Is it notability issue in general or particular facts that you feel as promotional? Alexandra Goncharik ^-sms- 19:32, 2 March 2026 (UTC)

So you need multiple secondary independent reliable sources with deep significant coverage on survey, study, discussion, analysis, commentary or evaluation of the product, company, or organization. Everything about company and its product should be critiqued either positively or negatively. Such coverage provides an organization with a great level of attention instead of someone just trying to promote a company and product. RangersRus (talk) 19:37, 2 March 2026 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for your explanation. In this case, I have to address the notability issue. I’ve done it in the source analysis below. Is it viable? Alexandra Goncharik ^-sms- 19:49, 2 March 2026 (UTC)

I looked at the sources and they are not independent of Boris Sofman. Sources should be independent of anyone that is associated with the company. So any commentary, analysis of product or company should come from a third source who is critiquing the company or irs product. This company is fairly new, a startup, founded in 2024 so it is evident that it is too early for the company to generate any such analysis. But this is just my opinion and I may be wrong that there are sources that we are looking for that can help find this company notable. You will just need to find them. Just remember, secondary independent reliable sources. RangersRus (talk) 00:03, 3 March 2026 (UTC)

@RangersRus, thank you very much for taking the time to explain your reasoning! When you mention that the sources are “not independent of Boris Sofman,” I understand that you are referring to intellectual independence per WP:ORGIND, meaning that even if the authors themselves are independent journalists, the coverage may still rely heavily on the CEO’s narrative, rather than providing independent analysis.

So the question is whether the depth and framing of the coverage rise to the level of independent secondary analysis. I revisited the sourcing and focused the sources that go beyond the CEO quotes:

• introduces external market data
• compare with competitors
• discusses industry constraints, risks, or adoption barriers
• includes perspectives beyond company executives

Here is the result of my extra ref check below. Would you consider this type of analysis sufficient under WP:ORGIND? Alexandra Goncharik ^-sms- 18:14, 3 March 2026 (UTC)

Hi! I'm still new to all of this, so I'm still in the learning phase. When talking about the coverage, would contemporary film Magazines and periodicals be enough because I added them under the "Reception" part? I just wanna know your thoughts on it, since it wouldn't be worth it to resubmit it without checking if it has a valid chance. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(films) I did check this page. My guess (still beginner so that's why double checking) is that the film fulllfills at least two criteras: "1.The film is widely distributed and has received full-length reviews in two or more GNG-worthy publications." There's plenty of contemporary reviews and it had national distribution. 2."The film was selected for preservation in a national archive." It is being preserved by the Royal Film Archive of Belgium — CINEMATEK. Would be great to hear if it's worth resubmiting or not. Maybe inclusionary number 2.: "The film features significant involvement (i.e., one of the most important roles in the making of the film) by a notable person and is a major part of their career. An article on the film should be created only if there is enough information on it that it would clutter up the biography page of that person if it was mentioned there." The film is directed by at the time youngest Academy Award winner for best director https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Taurog.

The Smart Star (talk) 23:18, 2 March 2026 (UTC)

For all sources you added under reception, please provide page numbers for verification. I looked at first two and nothing matched what was said. Such as The film has been noted by silent‑film historians for its early appearance by Duke Morrison (later known as John Wayne) in a minor role. I do not see where it is noted by film historians. And this one Motion Picture News noted that the film relied on the comic performance of its lead and called it a light farce built around collegiate misadventures. The source attributed here on page 53 is just an entry. (Correct ne if that is not the right page). Take this page as an example The Kid (1921 film) and if you can show the significance, legacy or reception from newspaper clips of the time will help. RangersRus (talk) 23:55, 2 March 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for noticing! Yes, the film historian reference was mixed up, it's now corrected to the one written by the Royal Belgium Film Archive.

For the reception part, I did change to quotes from easily findable reviews. Appereantly there's many more reviews too, just not digitalized yet. After teh corrections and the connection to Norman, as well as the much studied Johnny Arthur charachter (several books have been written about his early queer coded persona) what do you think the chances are? The Smart Star (talk) 01:00, 3 March 2026 (UTC)

So do you also think that the exceptions might apply? The Smart Star (talk) 15:03, 5 March 2026 (UTC)

This is the best source you have and gives some leeway. But the other about is just a video. I am not sure where it shows The film has been noted by silent‑film historians. RangersRus (talk) 15:20, 5 March 2026 (UTC)

If you look at the description that accompanies the video, there's note by the experts/film historians at the Royal Belgium Film Archive. The Smart Star (talk) 17:08, 5 March 2026 (UTC)

Did you see it and do you think the article, with it's better sourcing and possible qualification for exception, could benefit from a resubmition? The Smart Star (talk) 00:00, 10 March 2026 (UTC)

I am confused as to who are you referring as historians. The description says Stage and film actor Johnny Arthur was specialized in timid roles. In his comic films, he developed the ultra-effeminate "Nancy Boy" character until they were banned by the Production Code of 1934. In this film Arthur messes in the college rugby team.The film includes one of the earliest appearances of John "Duke" Wayne. And this is not reception. Keeping this aside, considering how old the film is, there could be exceptions to resubmit the page for review but I would still like you to try your best in finding something, like "Legacy" or something about how important the silent film was at its time, its significance, any news clippings with someone giving even a brief review. RangersRus (talk) 03:20, 10 March 2026 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks for the reply! Yes, you're right, I assumed the identity of the writer, I shall change the citation to the Archive. Also change from reception yes. And thank you for all the tips and advice. I look into this! The Smart Star (talk) 17:37, 10 March 2026 (UTC)

I agree with your decline of this draft, but I think that you failed to note the most serious failing of the draft, which is that it didn't have any references, which is especially problematic for a biography of a living person. Maybe you looked at the top of the draft and saw that it didn't meet biographical notability but didn't look at the bottom, and so didn't see the references, or the lack thereof. If a draft has no references, I think that it is best to call that to the attention of the author on the first review. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:48, 5 March 2026 (UTC)

Robert McClenon I actually saw that there were no references as well but will keep in mind to notify creator at first review. RangersRus (talk) 03:05, 5 March 2026 (UTC)

  • Draft:Lipstick (electronic dance music band) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

It is very clear to me that you did not even take the time to read through the comment made at my talk page in its entirety before declining my article draft's submission pertaining to: "Problems regarding arbitrary decision making with concern to secondary sourcing".

I think you are unable to understand the cultural impact of any music release reaching into the 'Top 5' of any [] national, music chart such as the Dutch Top 40, undoubtly has had. The Dutch Top 40 is most certainly not a 'so called' 'Deprecated_chart' aka WP:BADCHART.

"I'm a raver" by Lipstick was positioned at #4 in the Netherlands' national music chart in the weeks w.36-37, meaning it was the then 4th most sold CD single in that country, placed only three positions behind the best-selling, strategically made summer music release of "Wannabe" by Spice Girls (that can also be seen at "List of Dutch Top 40 number-one singles of 1996"). You must know that there were 100+ CD singles being sold in a given week, out of which the two aforementioned ones were the 4th and the 1st most sold CD singles (The Dutch Top 40 makes presentations down to the 40th most sold CD Singles but statistical records are still being made down to the 100th position).

Therefore, the evidence provided for of very prominent chart positions in a credible, sales-based music chart speak for themselves. That is indeed:

• in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
• reliable
• secondary
• independent of the subject

You can read in more detail in the article draft as well as in my talk page what undoubtly, vast medial coverage that automatically goes along with such markedly high chart positions. Any reviewer who is more specialised in reading and analysing the cultural impact of prominent sales-based, music chart positions would know this: Any CD singles that were ever amongst the 'Top 5' most sold are automatically and undoubtly of encyclopedia interest in that 'musical notability' has already been proven for all of those through their most prominent music chart positions.

For instance, Princess of Egypt peaked at a much lower chart position of #9, and it undoubtly sold less records, yet it has been deemed to be publishable.

Qaanaaq8 (talk) 17:49, 10 March 2026 (UTC)

Let's be clear, reviewers review the draft and not the comment on the creator's talk page. Your draft has been declined multiple times and there are reasons for it that you need to take time to consider looking into and make improvement. Major problem with the draft is that it is not well written and the sources are so poor like anazon, muziekweb, eurokdj and more. You need to have reliable sources with significant coverage on the song/music. RangersRus (talk) 18:41, 10 March 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for your response!

As for the bad references mentioned, I only added those last ones yesterday, as I was feeling insecure as to what eventual improvements had to be made (a previous reviewer had mentioned the 'need' for more sources) and I do agree that those particular ones are not good. I was reading physical encyclopedias well before the existence of Wikipedia and I am agreed that any article's eventual inclusion into any encyclopedia relies on the existence of a public interest for the subject, where such articles also need to be sourced.

There were always two good references included though: namely Discogs (at www.dicsogs.com) and the Dutch Top 40 (at www.top40.nl). Are we agreed that the band featured in this article released a CD single that was once the fourth most sold in the Netherlands? (In the weeks of w.36 and w.37 respectively, in the year of 1996). This, we are able to understand from reading the chart positions of the Dutch Top 40 music chart, even though neither of us speaks any Dutch. Are we agreed that this particular music chart should be considered to be a 'suitable chart'?

How can I know that those chart positions correspond to record sales numbers? It says so in the Wikipedia article of the Dutch Top 40: "It was first published and broadcast on 2 January 1965 by Radio Veronica, a Dutch offshore radio station that had been looking for a reliable weekly chart based on Dutch record sales.", and I have very little reason to doubt that it is true (and that particular information should also be available in their own webpage, or elsewhere). Having been the fourth most CD single for two weeks in a national, music chart (out of a 100+, or so, unique CD single being sold), is rather 'notable'. That's my main reason for why 'musical notability' has been proven. A certain amount of fame and a widespread medial coverage would undoubtedly have gone along with those many thousands of record copies that were sold at the time.

By comparison, seeing this article: "Princess of Egypt", it can be understood that this CD Single by E-Type (musician) was just the ninth most sold CD Single at its best, in Sweden's national music chart Sverigetopplistan (whose chart positions are also known to be sales-based). Yet, it has been included into Wikipedia and thus it has been considered to be of 'musical notability'. Through analysis of chart positions, it is plausible to believe that it received comparatively less medial coverage and that it was also a less famous CD Single than the one, above mentioned, that peaked at #4 in The Netherlands.

I see that I have covered a subject here that is of relevance to the encyclopedia and I consider it my duty to make sure that it ends up being published. At the same time, I feel I have reached a stand-still: at this point, who could possibly help me to rewrite the article in a manner that would be considered more favourable and suitable for Wikipedia, at the stage of an article draft? All these reviews and their repeated denials are somewhat tiresome to me, to the point that I am not knowing "in or out" anymore. At a certain point, the article draft started becoming repetitive and redundant, which also reduced its quality. As it stands, it is not well-written. Once the article has been allowed publishing, it will also have reached above the threshold of having entered into the 'public space', where others would also be likely to join in at its improvement.

Perhaps, it will become easier for me to see more clearly what changes have to be made, when I try to publish the corresponding article for their once famous, best-selling CD single - that would make for a 'fresh start'. With that objective, I intend to use the well-written article on "Princess of Egypt" as a template (that yet, only seems to have eight references in it).

I assure you, being stranded 'on your own' in the article draft space can be tough. Well-written or poorly-written, you are making me feel ever the more insecure as to what changes need to be made. So, you are not contributing to a very healthy environment, in the end. I need constructive solutions in order to realise the submission of the article. Qaanaaq8 (talk) 12:25, 11 March 2026 (UTC)

You have been given constructive solution and it is you need to find and add significant coverage in reliable sources about the song/music. Per Wikipedia notability Songs and singles are probably notable if they have received significant coverage as the subject[1] of multiple,[2] non-trivial[3] published works whose sources are independent of the artist and label. Even if a song has made to a national or international chart, this earlier mentioned notability about significant coverage is still needed. There are many bad examples you can find that could be nominated for deletion and I would recommend you to not use such bad examples. Here is a better example Scatman (Ski-Ba-Bop-Ba-Dop-Bop). You always have Wikipedia:Teahouse to help with guiding you to write well written articles. RangersRus (talk) 22:59, 11 March 2026 (UTC)

You are very right in that I have been provided constructive solution and thank you for furthering your explanation even more! It is now in my own hands and you seem to be most knowledgeable and accurate in your decisions on submission/decline of article drafts. Thanks for the links as well!

Many thanks...(Oh! Btw, I almost forgot... Go PowerRangers!) Qaanaaq8 (talk) 13:46, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

...I was going to write "Go Power Rangers!" and btw, that Scatman song sure is a classic! I can go back to being tentative with the article drafts and provide additional sources needeed for 'notability' and make sure it is all neat and well-written - that Scatman song article being the best model possible. Sorry for going OT... No further explanations needed =) Qaanaaq8 (talk) 13:57, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

Hi RangersRus! Firstly, Thank you so much for taking the time to review my draft so promptly. I saw that it was declined for 'significant coverage.' Since the decline, I have significantly expanded the article and added three new feature-length sources: a solo feature in The Hindu regarding Virtual Production (May 2023), a biographical profile in Sakshi (August 2025), and a feature in Eenadu (February 2023). The Hindu , Eenadu and Sakshi are some the leading dailies and news publications in India.(English and Telugu).

Could you take a quick look and let me know if these meet the 'significant' threshold you were looking for? I've also added English translations to the non-English titles to make them easier to verify. Thanks for your time and consideration!

Please discuss in talk page my rebuttal to your decline. I am neither a new editor nor conflicted and the article has 22 references in <24 hrs, one of the fastest growing stub for a forgotten hero, with a classic real life jungle story series written 113 years ago in addition to many other achievements. I wonder how fast you would have located even half of them for your stubs. I am a physician and an academic professor very well versed with academic citations, and I have personally discovered a lot of other historic forgotten figures. But the other figures (eg someone who started 1st transfusion in India 102 years ago whose name none of my transfusion medicine peers knew) are original research which I need to publish quick as I gave national talks on them. But this one is completely encyclopedic and possibly you made some mistake in declining it. Literally thousands of Bengali readers might write strong rebuttals to you if you forget to reverse your mistaken rebuttal as he is literally a brave hero for over six generations of young bengali readers. You should have written the article just before posting the decline as you possibly saw my stub created just a day ago. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft_talk:Pramada_Ranjan_Ray#Rebuttal_to_decline:_Draft:Pramada_Ranjan_Ray --Dr.saptarshi (talk) 03:46, 23 March 2026 (UTC)

for a doctor, your tone is quite unpleasant. What is the meaning of this? Literally thousands of Bengali readers might write strong rebuttals to you if you forget to reverse your mistaken rebuttal. You have the right to question but it is unnecessary to make such statement. I will add more at your talk page where you need my response. RangersRus (talk) 11:32, 23 March 2026 (UTC)

So this film has released? And you can not find 2 or more critical reviews? You need critical reviews on the film to pass notability. RangersRus (talk) 10:26, 25 March 2026 (UTC)

RangersRus, you are wrong, critical reviews are not necessary to pass notability, a topic only needs to satisfy WP:GNG to be notable. This movie already has significant coverage in multiple reliable sources which can be found in the article itself. Please do not decline submissions if you are not competent enough to understand the notability guidelines. You have declined multiple such submissions which are easily quite notable. This is very disruptive. Music.laboratory (talk) 20:09, 25 March 2026 (UTC)

Critical reviews are necessary to pass notability for a film. See WP:NFILM and as AFC reviewer it is my responsibility to make sure only notable and well written articles make it to mainspace. What is disruptive is trying to bypass AFC review to publish articles. You and your acquaintance ls should stop that. Or such articles can be nominated for deletion next. RangersRus (talk) 22:11, 25 March 2026 (UTC)

As I said you are not competent enough to understand the notability guidelines so you shouldn't even be reviewing these articles. WP:NFILM itself says that an article is notable as long as it satisfies the general notability guidelines. This film has significant coverage in multiple reliable sources which makes it notable per WP:GNG. Music.laboratory (talk) 02:38, 26 March 2026 (UTC)

Maybe you are having trouble understanding or you don't want to accept it or otherwise you wouldn't try to bypass the AFC review to publish an article. Promotions and annoucements are not notable significant coverage and that is why most time, reviews are put in place to pass notability. I have reviewed thousands and will continue to do so. Thank you very much. RangersRus (talk) 10:47, 26 March 2026 (UTC)
