editReview of Draft:Kingsley Assefuah
editHi SafariScribe, you previously declined my draft for Draft:Kingsley Assefuah with feedback about the references. I have since updated the article and added new sources.

Hello SafariScribe, could you help me on the notability for my draft pls?
editThank you for reviewing my earlier draft. I added a section with external media features. Would that qualify the notability criteria?
kind regards, NordicSea (talk) 09:57, 16 November 2025 (UTC)
- No my dear, it won't add to the notability. Please I want you to also answer this message on your talk page. Cheers! Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 21:16, 16 November 2025 (UTC)
Hi, take a look at it now and see what you think before I submit it again. R2025kt (talk) 17:38, 15 November 2025 (UTC)
- Bravissimo @R2025kt, hai fatto molto bene. I have accepted the draft and remember, for it to appear on search engines, it will undergo the NPP process, where it could be determined and accessed. For now, congratulations and find yourself a bottle of drink! Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 21:18, 16 November 2025 (UTC)
Jarett Kobek
editHi SafariScribe I sent through some addition links to the teahouse but for some reason they are not going through. If you could please look again at this person's notability - he his not conected to me in any way.
This guy is a pretty well established author - and is well-known in the literary scene. https://www.simonandschuster.com/authors/Jarett-Kobek/239108514
He is a simon and schuster author!
https://www.ft.com/content/39e7bcb4-ceab-11e7-9dbb-291a884dd8c6
Jarett Kobek is a Turkish-American writer known for his provocative and satirical novels that critique contemporary culture, technology, and society. His most notable work is the international bestseller I Hate the Internet. Key Works I Hate the Internet: An international bestseller, this novel offers a "sardonic tone and willingness to tackle controversial subjects" related to the digital age, corporate interests, and social dynamics online.
ATTA: A novella that serves as a fictional biography of 9/11 hijacker Mohamed Atta, praised for its "compelling literary style" and deep research into the character's motivations and background. Only Americans Burn in Hell: Described by Alan Moore as the "best satire of our contemporary nightmare," this novel is a fantasy that critiques a world ruled by a billionaire reality TV star and the decline of American democracy.
The Future Won't Be Long: A novel that explores 80s and 90s gay New York life, the art world, and American disillusionment through the lens of a friendship between two main characters. Do Every Thing Wrong!: XXXTentacion Against the World: A deep dive into the life and social media presence of the late rapper, characterized by its non-traditional, research-heavy approach. Style and Themes
Kobek is recognized for his unique narrative voice, which often blends fact and fiction to offer a unique perspective on current issues. His writing is characterized by: Satire and Cultural Criticism: He uses a sharp, often controversial, tone to critique subjects like capitalism, social media culture, identity politics, and the state of modern literature. Thorough Research: His works are noted for extensive research, from the social media presence of a rapper to the life of a terrorist, which grounds his narratives in reality.
Metafictional Elements: His narrative style can be fast-paced and jumpy, sometimes incorporating metafictional elements or trigger warnings for things like "capitalism" and "the awful stench of men".
He has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize and his work has been anthologized alongside authors like Haruki Murakami.
Cheers
Feldspa
can we get a second opinion? Feldspa (talk) 15:07, 15 November 2025 (UTC)
- @Feldspa, you've done your part well and that's fine. The author has only one notable book, I hate The Internet, but that isn't enough, including many articles and short writings to meet WP:NAUTHOR. By some years coming, the author might become notable, there's no deadline. Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 21:23, 16 November 2025 (UTC)
Legora draft article
editHi SafariScribe, Thank you so much for reviewing Draft:Legora and providing feedback. I was a bit surprised by the decline as the article is now supported by multiple in-depth and independent sources including Business Insider, Reuters, Forbes, Bloomberg Law and Sifted - covering funding, growth and recognition as a tech unicorn. Please could you clarify if there are specific facts or sections where you feel sourcing or notability is lacking, or if there's something about the sources themselves that is lacking? I'm very happy to address any concerns you have. Thank you again for your time! --Neilyoung77 (talk) 15:04, 13 November 2025 (UTC)
- No I don't have any other problem. Any reviewer would handle that. Cheers! Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 21:24, 16 November 2025 (UTC)

Hi Scribe, I can only assume this acceptance was a mistake? It does look (from skimming the source titles and nothing more) that the topic may be notable, but this borders on G11 and is almost certainly created by UPE. -- asilvering (talk) 20:49, 17 November 2025 (UTC)
- I was almost cleaning it up before I had an emergency. That's a good catch by you. For the editor being possibly an UPE, I don't normally check editors before declining or accepting. The draft, now article has been listed at AFD. Cheers! Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 16:57, 18 November 2025 (UTC)
Article denial for no reason
editHi Safariscribe, You recently rejected one of my article submissions and I wanted to know why. you said it was rejected because:
This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:
- in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
- reliable
- secondary
- independent of the subject
That is just insane. I added over 20 differant referances that are all in depth, reliable citations. i used a mix of Primary and secondary souces. What more do you want me to add. I bet that if I added a citation for every word, you still would reject it. Can you explain to me in more depth why it was rejected. Thank you for understanding.
N.Cooksey N.Cooksey (talk) 03:58, 17 November 2025 (UTC)
- Out of the 19 sources, sources 1,3,5,6,10,15 (total 6) were from www.kinley.com.au, the estate's website. They are called WP:PRIMARYSOURCES because they don't show notability rather they are used to verify some claims about a company, which these ones doesn't serve. Source 2 from www.yarraranges.vic.gov.au is more like a property listing website and fails WP:RS. Hoyne is a blog website, same as Henley, a blog site owned by a property building company. Big build is a governmental website but its article about your draft is nothing to write home about; it is not independent of it, hence fails WP:RS. Above all, your draft is promotional and meets WP:NPOV issues. I will advise you to start reading WP:YFA in order to digest how Wikipedia works. You may also visit the WP:TEAHOUSE incase you have some questions. Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 17:11, 18 November 2025 (UTC)
Ryan Bridge and Elliott Stanley
editHello. Thanks for reviewing Draft:Ryan Bridge and Elliott Stanley. Could you help me to understand what's required to improve the chances of the draft being approved? You advised that the draft needs multiple sources. It currently has 14. Is that not enough? I wondered at first if it might be that some of the sources only mention Bridge and Stanley in passing, but at least some of them are in-depth, e.g. "Red flags: The non-existent company behind Brum's Union Jacks", "EXCLUSIVE: British businessman linked to £40MILLION holiday sickness scam is named by cops", "Lamp-post flags organiser has 'no regrets'", "Birmingham 'Raise the Flags' founder was at Solihull asylum hotels protest". Stirchley resident (talk) 19:20, 16 November 2025 (UTC)
- The Birmingham Dispatch doesn't appear to meet our criteria for reliable sources. Again, The Mirror article is about Ryan Bridge and never connects him to Elliot; it could be interpreted that Bridge is another person apart from the one written about in the draft. Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 21:08, 16 November 2025 (UTC)
- Could you explain which of the criteria the Dispatch doesn't meet? It's a respected local newspaper that's part of a national network of similar titles. The link between the two is made clear in several of the other sources, e.g. "Birmingham flag wars erupt in quiet village as defiant dad faces death threats". Stirchley resident (talk) 21:16, 16 November 2025 (UTC)
- Above all, my reason for declining was that there is no way the sources cited shows that the individuals meet WP:GNG. Apart from founding the "non notable" campaign group, is there any other thing they did? Then they are not notable. Cheers! Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 21:14, 16 November 2025 (UTC)
- The page you linked to states "A topic is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list when it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". There are now 17 sources that the draft cites, all of them independent. Stirchley resident (talk) 21:17, 16 November 2025 (UTC)
- There's also an additional Telegraph article, though when I tried to cite it, it tripped some filter - I think because of a word used in the article title (reported at Wikipedia:Edit filter/False positives/Reports). Stirchley resident (talk) 21:26, 16 November 2025 (UTC)
- The page you linked to states "A topic is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list when it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

- You're clearly relying on WP:JUSTNOTNOTABLE as a reasoning here. Your comments on the newspapers as sources are ridiculous. Andy Dingley (talk) 21:37, 16 November 2025 (UTC)
- I've now added further sources. In light of this and Andy's comment above, would you be able to take another look and reconsider your verdict? Stirchley.resident (talk) 17:30, 17 November 2025 (UTC)

editHi SafariScribe. Thank you for your work on Stephen Ezeanya. Another editor, Mariamnei, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:
Thank you for your work on this article. Unfortunately, it is not yet ready for main space. Please establish notability as per WP:BIO. I will be moving it draft space. Please feel free to republish once it meets the above criteria. Thanks and have a great day!
To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Mariamnei}}. (Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)
Mariamnei (talk) 09:43, 20 November 2025 (UTC)
- @Mariamnei, I have reverted your draftification.
That was a very wrong move, you made.Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 10:15, 20 November 2025 (UTC)- @SafariScribe - I am not a subject expert. However, you currently have two sources, and I don't see how either of them establishes notability. Of course, if I made a mistake or I missed something, I would appreciate if you could WP:AGF and discuss the issue at hand with me directly before jumping to complaining to others. Mariamnei (talk) 10:28, 20 November 2025 (UTC)
- @Mariamnei, don't tag me on my talk page pls, I must get the notification without that. First, if you aren't a subject expert, please don't attempt the article on presumption because we review articles here on the possibility of "will it pass when subjected to WP:AFD?", if you have doubts, then tag it and never draftify especially when it was written by an experienced editor; almost all the articles on Wikipedia started as a stub with one or two sources until expansion as days get by; same is applicable here: it's better to tag and article as "not notable" or "needs more sources for verification" than dratifying them. On the other hand, Asilvering is an admin I respect so much and she knows the best way to convey these messages to you. I may be advocating for the revocation of your NPP right because I want the best for you. It's not a matter of rushing, you could always get the tool when you are ready to use them well. Cheers! Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 12:18, 20 November 2025 (UTC)
- I have received complaints that I should have draftified articles that I approved and the opposite direction as well. I have reviewed hundreds (if not thousands) of articles in the last couple months; I have received a small number of complaints and been thanked by many users for constructive behavior.
- I am not convinced that the article in question would pass in an WP:AFD and I certainly think it is borderline. WP:42 says that there need be multiple sources discussing the subject, and I do not see that here. If you disagree with me, this is a simple content dispute, and I believe that you should have assumed good faith and discussed it with me rather than casting aspersions and immediately writing to an admin saying that I am a terrible reviewer. This is also not reflective of the vast majority of reviews I have done, and I am still learning and open to hearing feedback and improving. 12:38, 20 November 2025 (UTC) Mariamnei (talk) 12:38, 20 November 2025 (UTC)
- Please don't be ignorant, there is always room for improvements. No one casted aspersions on you and if you accuse me for that, I will take it as lack of WP:CIVILITY. Why won't you just calm down and read again the NPP standards or perhaps the general notability guidelines as well as arguments to avoid in deletion discussions and see why it's important NPP reviewers should know this. I can never condemn your good works here; I must confess you are one of the best contributing NPPers herein, however mistakes does happen and no one, expect God is the master of perfection. How could you tell me that the Archbishop of an Archdiocese would fail an AFD? have you read WP:NBISHOP?
- My dear, when this type of complaint gets to you, there are few things to do: read it, breathe, tell the complainant that you could do better and that it's just a mistake, refresh your memory on the guidelines especially on notability (because you need to be sending some articles to AFD at some point), and come out better. These are little things but being faithful to them will keep you going. Devo dire ancora che stai facendo molto molto bene qui. Gli errori spesso succede ma non mostra che sei male; non é va bene così. Fai il tuo migliore e lascia l'altre cose per Dio, okay. Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 13:00, 20 November 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you for the reference to WP:NBISHOP; you have now showed me in policy where I erred. I was looking for something of that sort in the notability guidelines, but it does not seem to be linked to the general notability page. I will review the NPP standards again. Have a wonderful day! Mariamnei (talk) 13:35, 20 November 2025 (UTC)

Second oppinion on declined draft
editHi SafariScribe, I've been working on Draft:South Park Commons that your reviewed and declined. I sought advice from an experienced AfC reviewer (Qcne) regarding the strongest sources for notability (see User_talk:Qcne#Thanks_for_guidance!).
Based on that discussion, I presented strong case citing fully focused New York Times, TechCrunch, and Business Standard articles, which we both believe establish GNG. Could you please take another look? Thanks! --Saphelion (talk) 16:07, 25 November 2025 (UTC)

Prince Alexander Literary Prize (Belgium)
editHello,
Thank you very much for reviewing my article. I hope you're doing well today.
You said that the article fails WP:NAWARDS, but that is an essay page, not a guideline page. Essay pages are just opinion pieces, not Wikipedia guideline pages. It does have 3 sources that you can read, and it also has another source that does exist, but that I haven't found a link to yet. Also, could you be more specific on what part of WP:NAWARDS you think it fails? Let me know if you need help translating.
Thank you for your time and effort on my article. Orlando Davis (talk) 04:35, 24 November 2025 (UTC)

Questions About Draft:Kris Sidial
editHi SafariScribe. You rejected my Articles for Creation submission at Draft:Kris Sidial on the basis that Sidial does not meet the notability requirements. The article relies heavily on citations to Bloomberg and Business Insider. I figured both publications have a "broad audience", he is the primary subject of each article, and both are profile pieces, not routine announcements or churnalism. I know you probably review a lot of these and get plenty of complaints from people that get their articles rejected. However, I'd be in your debt if you could teach me what I'm missing about the criteria and these two articles. Mperry1512 (talk) 03:00, 26 November 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you @Mperry1512. I also approve theses two sources but they aren't enough to determine notability, see WP:THREE. Other sources in the draft fails our reliable sources criteria, hence my decline. Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 04:11, 29 November 2025 (UTC)
Questions about Draft:Battle of Nawanpind
editHey, you just declined my draft on the Battle of Nawanpind during the 1971 Indo-Pakistani war.
Here's the link to the draft - Draft:Battle of Nawanpind#Battle of Nawanpind
- I wanted to understand why was this draft declined.
- Since you had mentioned references, I would like to add that the battle in question hasn't been covered well and therefore does not specific mentions anywhere else (which is why I sought to create the wikipedia page).
- The references I do mention are either news articles (by highly reputed newspapers/media organisations) or books that have unfortunately not been digitised (yet).
- I would love to add more references but the particular war in question (the 1971 India-Pakistani war) was 13 days long and thus, most of the coverage/papers on it focus on its offensive and not defensive battle (which is what the Battle of Nawanpind was).
- Moreover, Wikipedia already has a mention of the battle in another page linked here (it is the page about one of the units that participated in the battle) - 173 Medium Regiment (India).

- Thank you @Asc9924 for the write up above. I have a few question: does any of the sources, i.e books referred it as "Battle of Nawanpind"? Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 04:07, 29 November 2025 (UTC)
- Hey, thanks for the reply. As far as the name is concerned, the battle of is called either "Engagement at Nawanpind" or "Battle of Nawanpind" in most of the primary sources (i.e., sources by the Indian Armed Forces and the Government of India) like wartime citations which are published in The Gazette of India, an official communique of the Government of India. The citations I have added in the draft are also from Gazette. Asc9924 (talk) 04:12, 29 November 2025 (UTC)
- If you do think it is necessary to add the Gazette as a source, I'd be happy to do so. Asc9924 (talk) 04:13, 29 November 2025 (UTC)
- if that is the most appropriate source that defines the war, then add them, trim the draft and remove unnecessary informations except ones said by the source (s). Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 04:18, 29 November 2025 (UTC)

- Hi @Soccerkk, unfortunately the draft doesn't meet the threshold for acceptance here, on English Wikipedia. May I also let you know that different Wikipedia has their different notability guidelines, hence an article may exist in German/Korean Wikipedia but not here. Cheers! Safari ScribeEdits!

Question about Draft:Harry Potter (pinball)
editHello, I wanted to ask you about the notability aspect of the reason for declining Draft:Harry Potter (pinball). I thought the Pinball News references taken as a whole, including count as one, and RePlay magazine would count for another (it is also published in printed form in the August issue), and the review at might count as a third?
The other issue of what I might need to remove from the article due to being unsufficiently sourced is obviously a bit of a moot point until notability is established. Wilbers (talk) 16:15, 27 November 2025 (UTC)
- @Wilbers, Pinball News is not reliable because it is a blog written by one person. I also don't know the reliability of Replay magazine but let me trust the team. In this case, we need sources that are reliable and a good example of the subject's significant coverage.Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 04:16, 29 November 2025 (UTC)
- The Punchball mag is also [ Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 04:23, 29 November 2025 (UTC)
- Hello, Pinball News is a lot more than that, although the editor is also effectively head writer. It does say on that about page "Finally, you may have noticed how the ‘I’ from the first few paragraphs has turned into a ‘we’. That’s because Pinball News is not my site. It is the collaborative work of all the dozens of writers who have contributed or continue to write for us. Sure, I edit the site and write some of it, but the writing stays fresh thanks to the variety of voices and opinions found in our articles."
- For example, is definitely written by someone else, with editorial oversight. Wilbers (talk) 15:02, 30 November 2025 (UTC)
- @Wilbers, you edit on Pinball News, sorry? Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 09:15, 3 December 2025 (UTC)
- No, I was just using that as an example of an article on the site written by somebody else. I also noticed that in Pinball Magazine 2 (2013) there is a 6 page interview with the editor of that website (Martin Ayub). Given in that he says helping reporting for BBC news is his job I've had a search for something online saying that, and I've come across this , especially the three minutes following 3:40 where he talks about journalistic standards and bias which lends credance to Pinball News being a reliable source.

AfC review of Draft:Udi Mokady
editHi SafariScribe! I saw when reviewing Draft:Udi Mokady at AfC that you had previously told the creator that they needed to provide copies of book sources within their draft itself in order for those sources to be considered by AfC reviewers . I’m not sure I really agree with that advice, since including copies of a book within a draft will almost always be a WP:COPYLINK violation (in this case the creator followed your suggestion and included their Google Drive links to scans of the book within the draft, which I have now removed). WP:AFCSTANDARDS also specifies that offline and book sources are acceptable. Just wanted to suggest that in future you might want to request that quotes/scans be sent to you directly via email or leave the draft for another reviewer if you don’t have access to book sources, rather than suggesting that copies of the books be included within the draft itself.

- Thank you @MCE89. I appreciate! Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 06:54, 4 December 2025 (UTC)
Daniel Freedman meets notability requirements in every category
edithttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Daniel_Freedman_(musician) Daniel Freedman has been in 2 TONY award wining broadway shows as a featured performer, Hadestown and American Utopia. Was also featured in the film of American Utopia. Their work as a leader and sideman has been reviewed and featured in the US's top journals and newspapers. Every cite in bold meets these requirements.
Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself.
Micallef, Ken (July 2016). "Best Albums of 2016" (PDF). Downbeat. 83 (7). Ratliff, Ben (21 December 2012). "A Cubanized Blending of Musical Languages". New York Times. Tamarkin, Jeff (1 July 2016). "Daniel Freedman: Imagine That". Jazztimes. Retrieved 15 August 2024. Rentner, Simon. "Imagine That: Daniel Freedman". wbgo.org. WBGO. Chinen, Nate (8 September 2016). "Jazz Listings". New York Times.
Has released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable).
1998 Various Artists Jazz Underground: Live at Smalls Impulse! Records 2009 Sting If on a Winter’s Night… Deutsche Grammophon
Is an ensemble that contains two or more independently notable musicians, or is a musician who has been a reasonably prominent member of two or more independently notable ensembles.[note 5] This should be adapted appropriately for musical genre; for example, having performed two lead roles at major opera houses. Note that this criterion needs to be interpreted with caution, as there have been instances where this criterion was cited in a circular manner to create a self-fulfilling notability loop (e.g., musicians who were "notable" only for having been in two bands, of which one or both were "notable" only because those musicians had been in them.)

Has become one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style or the most prominent of the local scene of a city; note that the subject must still meet all ordinary Wikipedia standards, including verifiability.

Has performed music for a work of media that is notable, such as a theme for a network television show, performance in a television show or notable film, inclusion on a notable compilation album. (But if this is the only claim, it is probably more appropriate to have a mention in the main article and redirect to that article. Read the policy and notability guideline on subjects notable only for one event, for further clarifications). Has been placed in rotation nationally by a major radio or music television network.
Hans, Simran (19 December 2020). "American Utopia review – David Byrne and Spike Lee burn down the house". The Guardian.
Has been a featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment across a national radio or television network.

- Hi @Mistephake, I have commented there with regard to your comment above. Please check the draft. Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 09:13, 3 December 2025 (UTC)
- I've updated ref 1 with a page number. Mistephake (talk) 20:41, 3 December 2025 (UTC)
- Hi safariscribe. Sorry i added all that content on your talk to establish Freedman's notability. If Freedman's notability is not in question then it appears you denied the article based on the cites about his family members. Please explain why these refs are not verifiable: The Brooklyn Rail is a noted journal and Pitchfork. thanks Mistephake (talk) 20:44, 3 December 2025 (UTC)
- Look at what I am saying, @Mistephake. If he did all those things in the draft, then he is notable. Nevertheless Wikipedia works with verifica grom reliable sources and that's how we prove of truly truly he is notable. We need sources that lists him, in each of the song, as a leader or co-leader and at its best, review of the music. This is usually difficult to find, but if he is notable and most likely attain WP:SIGCOV, then thee should have been sources that lists at least a handful and review of sole of his works where he served as the leader or co-leader. Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 06:57, 4 December 2025 (UTC)
- please don"t be condescending. I've used these sources in dozens of articles and they all met approval. Mistephake (talk) 16:01, 4 December 2025 (UTC)
- OK.so you wrote "We need sources that lists him, in each of the song, as a leader or co-leader and at its best, review of the music". I've read over WP:SNG Freedman's name IS listed in every review of his work as a leader.
- Sidemen in theatrical shows and bands are often not mentioned in reviews. However Freedman's name would be listed in dozens of Playbills. Freedman also performed in the film version of American Utopia. His name may not be in the review but it is in the credits. Mistephake (talk) 16:32, 4 December 2025 (UTC)

editThanks for your contributions to A Shuttle in the Crypt. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted it to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.
