Editing Eurovision Wiki:Teahouse (section)

=== My Question ===
I would really appreciate it if someone could help clarify the specific reason why the article was rejected. Understanding the exact issue would help me improve the article and avoid making the same mistake in future translations or submissions.

Thank you in advance for any guidance or feedback. [[User:VikepediaYuser|VikepediaYuser]] ([[User talk:VikepediaYuser|talk]]) 08:49, 16 March 2026 (UTC)

:Hi @[[User:VikepediaYuser|VikepediaYuser]], please note that your draft was declined, not rejected. This means you're welcome to continue working on it and resubmit it when it's ready. 
:Per the reviewer's feedback, the draft does not meet our [[WP:NBIO|notability criteria]]. We need to see multiple sources that meet [[WP:GOLDEN RULE]]; the subject's own YouTube channel is not independent, and the other sources don't show [[WP:SIGCOV|significant coverage]] of Beluga.

:@[[User:VikepediaYuser|VikepediaYuser]] Your sources don't meet the criteria for English Wikipedia. Refer [[WP:42]] and [[WP:GNG]] [[User:Mmemaigret|MmeMaigret]] ([[User talk:Mmemaigret|talk]]) 09:38, 16 March 2026 (UTC)

:Hello, @[[User:VikepediaYuser|VikepediaYuser]], and welcome to the Teahouse. 
:To add to what others have said: every different-language Wikipedia is a separate project, with its own policies and procedures. Many of them have less strict requirements for [[WP:REF|sources]] than English Wikipedia. 
:This means that ''translating'' an article from another Wikipedia into English is usually a waste of time, unless you verify ''first'' that the original article has adequate sources, most of which meet the requirements of being independent, reliable, secondary, and having significant coverage of the subject: see [[WP:42]]. (It's OK for them not to be in English as long as they meet those requirements). [[User:ColinFine|ColinFine]] ([[User talk:ColinFine|talk]]) 10:05, 16 March 2026 (UTC)
:Just wanted to note that this is our second draft on this subject, the older of which is [[Draft:Beluga (YouTuber)]]. -- [[User:MediaKyle|MediaKyle]] ([[User talk:MediaKyle|talk]]) 13:14, 16 March 2026 (UTC)
