:The decline notice on that page mentions nothing whatsoever about music repertoire. The article has been declined because the draft is currently completely lacking references.

I made an article about Shibu Prabhakar. I know him very well. because he is my husband. And the team rejected the article? Can you help me to publish the article?  [[User:Dhanyalal26|Dhanyalal26]] ([[User talk:Dhanyalal26|talk]]) 05:55, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
:{{u|Dhanyalal26}} I fixed your header so it links to your draft as intended; the full title is needed.  However, it was generated by an AI and has been deleted.  We want you to write in your own words without using an AI.  It's best if you don't attempt to write about your husband and allow an article to develop in the usual way, when an independent editor takes note of coverage of the topic and chooses to write about it, summarizing what that coverage says.  Know that [[WP:PROUD|an article is not necessarily something to desire]]; there are good reasons to not want one. [[User:331dot|331dot]] ([[User talk:331dot|talk]]) 07:38, 17 March 2026 (UTC)

:@[[User:Revelly|Revelly]]: Wikipedia does not publish original research, nor is it a place for you to tell the world about your ideas. When the only source you're citing is a paper you've authored, and in particular when you're describing the subject as a "proposed" system, it is blatantly obvious that the subject is not notable, at least not yet. Once it has been discussed by multiple independent and reliable sources, you can then summarise what they have said, cite them as references, and you might be in with a chance, not before. -- [[User:DoubleGrazing|DoubleGrazing]] ([[User talk:DoubleGrazing|talk]]) 14:46, 17 March 2026 (UTC)

{{Lafc|username=Newmyths|ts=16:19, 17 March 2026|draft=Draft:Stryker_McGuire}}
Hi there. I am trying to improve and expand the currently inadequate WKP entry on the London-based, American journalist Stryker McGuire (a living person). I recently submitted my expanded and improved draft of this article for approval, but it was declined with two lines of feedback from an account which is a confirmed SockPuppet who, it seems, didn’t even realize that there is already an existing WKP article on this subject.

Regardless, I have tried to address the reviewer's concerns and improve the article by adding more sources commenting on the subject’s writings, in addition to referencing articles written by the subject. Most often, I am linking to articles written by the subject for the sake of the biographical information the sources (all reputable news organizations) provide. The subject is a political & cultural commentator, and so it’s difficult to summarize the significance of his writings without linking to his own articles. 

I would truly appreciate any feedback, the more specific the better, concerning the problems relating to my draft since I still hope to re-submit it for approval.

Here’s the existing entry: [[Stryker McGuire]]

…& here’s my proposed rewrite: [[Draft:Stryker McGuire]] [[User:Newmyths|Newmyths]] ([[User talk:Newmyths|talk]]) 16:19, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
:{{u|Newmyths}} The whole url is not needed when linking, just <nowiki>[[Stryker McGuire]]</nowiki>.
:Rewrites are not done via this process. As the article is not protected, you are free to place your text in the article yourself; but you would likely be quickly reverted. You only have one source. Wikipedia articles summarize what independent [[WP:RS|reliable sources]] have chosen on their own to say about the topic. You are incorrect; a Wikipedia article should not reference someone's own work, it should summarize what is said about the work. If you have no independent sources, there can be no article. It is true that journalists don't often write about each other unless one is [[Tom Brokaw]] or [[Walter Cronkite]], but they don't get a pass on the independent and [[WP:V|verifiability]] requirements. 
:I suggest that you propose small, incremental changes, not a wholesale rewrite. [[User:331dot|331dot]] ([[User talk:331dot|talk]]) 16:56, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
:@[[User:Newmyths|Newmyths]] This rewrite is, to be blunt, a complete mess. It's promotional in tone, full of [[MOS:OVERLINK|overlinking]] and [[WP:REFBOMB|refbombing]], the lead is overlong, contains citations, and even contains information which is not actually present in the body of the article (the lead should summarise the content in the article; there's a mention of a story about 'Cool Britannia' which has three sources of its own (again, see the fact that the lead should not contain citations) but is never actually mentioned in the body of the article.)
:Rather than outright reverting it to the pre-rewritten version it I'm going to take a scythe to it and cut out the most problematic parts. [[User:Athanelar|Athanelar]] ([[User talk:Athanelar|talk]]) 21:36, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
::In fact, I am going to revert it to the pre-rewritten version, because there are also blatant source to text discrepancies. The claim that {{tq|For more than three decades between 1978 and 2009, he was a writer and editor at Newsweek}} is sourced to an article that makes no mention of either of those dates, nor of his position at Newsweek; its only mention of his career is that {{tq|McGuire has worked for Newsweek for more than 20 years.}} [[User:Athanelar|Athanelar]] ([[User talk:Athanelar|talk]]) 21:40, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
:::Athanelar, I apologize for not better understanding WKP editing conventions and for my misguided attempt to improve the currently inadequate article. At the time of your reversion, I was attempting to remove primary sources on account of the article's "excessive reliance" on them (e.g https://www.thedailybeast.com/author/stryker-mcguire/ , which does  confirm the fact in question - that McGuire worked for Newsweek for 30 years); hence the source to text discrepancy. To clarify, I am not actually connected to the subject but admire his work and had hoped to make a valuable contribution to an online institution I value. Obviously, I failed but thank you for clarifying why. [[User:Newmyths|Newmyths]] ([[User talk:Newmyths|talk]]) 23:00, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
::::You haven't 'failed,' I encourage you to work on the rewrite some more at [[Draft:Stryker McGuire]] being aware of the feedback I've given. It is certainly true that the article as it stands is in need of a rewrite. [[User:Athanelar|Athanelar]] ([[User talk:Athanelar|talk]]) 23:12, 17 March 2026 (UTC)

{{Lafc|username=21stcenturycoelacanth|ts=17:44, 17 March 2026|draft=Draft:Aoi Sangoshou}}
Hi all. I'm looking for advice as to how best to cite this particular site. It's Melon's official site for music chart rankings in Korea. See this link: https://www.melon.com/chart/search/index.htm
For example, Aoi Sangoshou peaked at number 3 on the J-Pop chart the week of July 15th. I can view this information by selecting 'Weekly Chart' in the table in the link, '2024', 'July', '07.15-07.21', and 'J-Pop'. It's quite easy to use if you translate the page using Google Translate or similar. 

The trouble is finding a permanent link to this information, because if you copy the link to this page, it just shows the chart index page, not the information you've inputted. If I was to cite a chart ranking using this site, how would I go about it? Just link to the search index? I wouldn't be sure how to go about saving an archive/snapshot of the site with that information visible either. I'd be grateful for any advice. [[User:21stcenturycoelacanth|21stcenturycoelacanth]] ([[User talk:21stcenturycoelacanth|talk]]) 17:44, 17 March 2026 (UTC)

:Before you get to the final page you're looking for, can you right click on the link and select "open page in new tab"? That might open a page with the correct link on it.
:Right now the page you linked is not operational for me, as if the site is down. ~[[User:Anachronist|Anachronist]] (who / me) <small>([[User talk:Anachronist|talk]])</small> 05:44, 18 March 2026 (UTC)
