Editing Eurovision Wiki:Teahouse (section)

== Rejected BLP Article ==

Hi! I'm very new to wikipedia and I've been working on my first article. I keep trying to incorporate the feedback on the page I'm working on [[Draft:Emilia Fart]]. Some feedback said I didn't have enough sources so I went and found more but now they're saying they're unreliable but they are reputable magazines like PAPER and BUST from interviews that the subject has done. At first it said that the subject met notability but there weren't enough sources so I added more sources and now I'm being told that actually she's not notable enough. I feel like I'm in this cycle and I don't know how to get past it to be able to publish the article. Especially the PAPER source provides significant, reliable and independent coverage. What more can I do to get this page to meet the guidelines. Thanks in advance!! [[User:Juliannaesmith|Juliannaesmith]] ([[User talk:Juliannaesmith|talk]]) 23:41, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

:See [[WP:42]] and [[WP:Notability (people)]]. Cheers! '''[[User:.nhals8|<span style="color:#fff; background:#A41720">n.h.huit, 化けの花</span>]]''' 00:03, 13 March 2026 (UTC)
:Interviews don’t count towards SIG COV. Refer [[WP:42]]. [[User:Mmemaigret|MmeMaigret]] ([[User talk:Mmemaigret|talk]]) 00:20, 13 March 2026 (UTC)
::SIGCOV means [[WP: Significant coverage]] by the way. ^^ '''[[User:.nhals8|<span style="color:#fff; background:#A41720">n.h.huit, 化けの花</span>]]''' 04:01, 13 March 2026 (UTC)
:Also, please be aware that Notability on living people on English Wikipedia is rather strict. An example is [[Kyle Hill (YouTuber)]], as an article about him were deleted after [[Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Kyle_Hill_(YouTuber)|this discussion]].

:Hi there, @[[User:Juliannaesmith|Juliannaesmith]]! Unfortunately you have launched yourself into the most difficult task on Wikipedia: writing a new article. Writing about a living person is the hardest kind of new article to write. And since you have properly declared a COI (thank you!), you have a further problem to deal with because you need to forget everything you know about your subject and write only what is in reliable sources. There are many policies you need to know and follow when creating articles, so we always recommend spending at least a few weeks editing existing articles before trying to write something new. It's probably also a good idea to read through [[WP:ABOUTME]] and decide whether Emilia would still be okay with a Wikipedia article if there was some kind of controversy - because that would almost certainly end up in the article.
:But let's assume you decide to continue working on your draft. You are looking for sources that meet ''all three'' criteria in WP:42. Interviews with or things written/created by your subject or her friends, family, colleagues, etc are not independent. Usually we need three or more WP:42-compliant sources to show that someone or something qualifies for a Wikipedia article. PAPER is not as independent as we'd like because it involves an interview - as indeed do most of your sources. Is there anything out there that was written without any input from your subject? 
:Make sure, as well, that everything in your draft is cited to a source and that that information is definitely present in the source - we have to be super careful with [[WP:BLP|biographies of living people]], and I see the draft is tagged for AI/LLM-generated text. Possibly the biggest problem with LLMs is that they will blithely cite something to a source that sounds plausible but doesn't actually contain that information. For example, in your 2017-2019 section, there's only one source given so the assumption is that all that info is in that source - but I spot-checked and the words 'mukbang' and 'story' aren't in the source. Go through your draft with a fine-tooth comb and make sure you haven't been sabotaged by the LLM!
:Finally, if you want to take a break and come back to the draft later - if you want to get more editing experience first - it will remain where it is for six months after the last edit, so you can keep editing it for basically forever and the timer will keep resetting for another six months every time. If you forget and it gets deleted, that's very normal and you can get it back with no problem via the [[WP:REFUND]] process. 
:I know that's a lot to take in. Feel free to ask more questions or for clarification here on on my talk page. I hope some of this has been helpful, and wish you happy editing! [[User:Meadowlark|Meadowlark]] ([[User talk:Meadowlark|talk]]) 11:49, 13 March 2026 (UTC)
:{{u|Juliannaesmith}}: "Some feedback said I didn't have enough sources". I find that unlikely. In assessing [[WP:N|notability]], assuming you have at least three sources, they'll be judged on quality rather than quantity. Maybe the feedback said "not enough good sources".
