Huw Edwards

Hi. Was the recent move discussed anywhere beforehand? Deb (talk) 14:53, 15 January 2019 (UTC)

It was not. Andysmith248 (talk) 21:17, 15 January 2019 (UTC)

Don't you think it might have been slightly controversial? Deb (talk) 22:19, 15 January 2019 (UTC)

Hello. I see that you have moved Huw Edwards to Huw Edwards (disambiguation). Are you suggesting that the journalist is a primary topic and intending to move Huw Edwards (journalist) to Huw Edwards? If not then we should probably revert the move to avoid leaving a malplaced disambiguation page. What do you think? Certes (talk) 22:15, 10 February 2019 (UTC)

Hello. Yes, I do think the journalist should be the primary topic and Huw Edwards (journalist) should be moved to Huw Edwards. Andysmith248 (talk) 09:24, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. The journalist certainly first comes to my mind but I would suggest starting a RM as it may be considered controversial. Certes (talk) 15:11, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

I have now requested that Huw Edwards (journalist) be moved to Huw Edwards on the Huw Edwards (journalist) talk page. Thanks for your suggestion. Andysmith248 (talk) 18:23, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

In the meantime I have changed the disambiguation page back to its original state. Andysmith248 (talk) 18:23, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Simon Konecki (March 26)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Praxidicae were:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

Being the spouse of someone does not equate to notability. We need coverage of him (in-depth) unrelated to his marriage.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

• If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Simon Konecki and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
• If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Simon Konecki, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
• If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and will be deleted.
• If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Chris Tarrant: Extreme Railways (April 4)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by AngusWOOF were:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

This submission provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject matter. Please see the guide to writing better articles for information on how to better format your submission.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

Needs a few more news sources from WP:RSP (avoiding The Sun and other tabloids) to indicate reception, also history of the broadcast and home media. Series appears notable enough otherwise.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.
