first draft of German Newbie: Giselle Anne - "re-writing in a dry neutral tone"

Thanks for your suggestion in the comment of my first draft „Giselle Anne“. I deleted terms and sentences, trying to write in a dry neutral tone. Hope I could improve it. Is it better now? I gave my best. Info.Forscher (talk) 12:32, 12 October 2025 (UTC)

Would you please offer advice to the creating editor

I reviewed Draft:Horatio Sprague Eustis and have received a "But you are wholly incorrect" suggesting at User talk:Timtrent#Horatio Sprague Eustis to which I have responded. I think extra eyes and a response from a tall page stalker might bear some fruit. The editor is convinced, for example, that "would" is better than "did" which we all disagree with. There are notability conceptual differences, too. 🇵🇸‍🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦‍🇵🇸 14:34, 12 October 2025 (UTC)

Seems they chose to delete the draft. Probably not a bad thing since there was no notability. 🇵🇸‍🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦‍🇵🇸 20:36, 12 October 2025 (UTC)

The Brotherhood Skate Club page declined review

Hi @Theroadislong. Thanks a lot for your review and comments on mi publication about The Brotherhood Skate Club. In order to improve the article, I've added several more independent press sources (both local and national) related to this sports and social club.

I've replaced the national TV clip with the full program from the website of this Spanish national TV channel, in which the club was featured and interviewed due ti its remarkable work promoting and developing women's skateboarding in Spain. I have added more details about independent press media talking about the "biggest skateboarding club in Spain" and I've also included additional independent press articles so that you can verify its significance in organizing official skateboaring events in Spain, among other aspects.

You'll see that in the latest edit i've done.

Regarding the direct links to the club's website, I've included them because (in addition to being allowed for informational purposes) they describe in detail its social action programs and how they are implemented, which I believe is relevant and useful information for readers.

Could you please review this edit so that we can include this article? It concerns the most historically significant skateboarding club in Spain for the last decades.

Thanks a lot!! Ganduuul (talk) 08:19, 13 October 2025 (UTC)

You have used their own website 12 times, Wikipedia has very little interest in what it says, like wise Instagram, Facebook and YouTube, none of which are independent. Theroadislong (talk) 16:04, 13 October 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for your response.

Yes, as I said, I did. I did it because it contains all the information about their social programs.

About youtube videos, as you can see is just "via" youtube. It means that some of these independent media upload the videos/content/interviews on THEIR youtube channel (not the channel of the entity).

Anyway, you can see all other sources I added recently and you will see many other independent sources.

Do you mean national TV channel "TVE: Televisión Española" is not independent? Such as many other sources I also added and you don't mention...

I don't know why you only mention that I used 3-4 times their webpage (just so readers can get more information about them) but you don't mention all different sources I just added from different local and national independent sources. Maybe you just didn't review the modifications I did? Ganduuul (talk) 16:51, 13 October 2025 (UTC)

Wikipedia reports on what reliable independent sources say about a topic, your draft is largely based on what their own website says. Theroadislong (talk) 16:54, 13 October 2025 (UTC)

Michael Stone Website

Hi - you have just deleted the external link to Michael Stone's website at www.MichaelStone.co.uk. It is his official website and indeed he has no other website. What reason can you provide for deleting the link to the external site from the Michael Stone page? Londonlinks (talk) 20:01, 13 October 2025 (UTC)

Sorry it didn't look remotely official, my mistake. Theroadislong (talk) 20:16, 13 October 2025 (UTC)

I agree his site doesn't look great but the domain name is his and I guess if you've been in prison for the last 28 years since 1997 maintaining your innocence then that might explain why the design is not great. When you get time please reverse the edit. Thanks. Londonlinks (talk) 20:33, 13 October 2025 (UTC)

  • User:Ncornwell/sandbox (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

I am seeking clarification regarding why this page was not accepted. The subject of this article demonstrates greater notability compared to other contemporaries in the field. For instance, the late artist Harriet Barber, who studied with Desmond Haughton, is featured despite limited recognition. It is important that evaluations are made impartially and without racial bias.

Note that I am spamming all over Wikipedia. Not Sure How this is Accurate

This is the only Top 10 Law Firm in Korea that doesn't have a page on Wiki. We have contributed in the past to law related articles where few people are contributing to articles on Korean Law. Not sure where we are spamming as you noted. As the other law firms listed - we of course should be listed and we modeled our listing after Yulchon Law Firm and Kim & Chang Law Firm - both listed. Shawn7474 (talk) 09:11, 15 October 2025 (UTC)

Love to understand how I am "spamming all over Wiki" and how this page as it is similar and better referenced than other pages mentioned above are listed.

Andy Ruben draft – sourcing clarification added

Hi @Theroadislong — thanks for taking the time to review my draft (Andy Ruben). I’ve added a concise notability and sourcing rationale on the draft’s Talk page highlighting independent, significant coverage (NYT, SSIR, Goleman book, Wartzman book, TIME, Forbes Digital Cover, Inc., HBR, CBS, plus Congressional records). The draft has been resubmitted to AfC. Appreciate your consideration for a second look. Akruben (talk) 16:23, 18 October 2025 (UTC)

Draft:Emotional_Basement

Hello Theroadislong

I am writing regarding the draft I wrote on the Emotional Basement.

I would love to get a better understanding as to why it was not accepted. I have found and cited multiple sources that I believe fit the criteria (e.g. peer-reviewed journals) that discuss the term. Additionally, the publication in "Study of The Organization and Human Resource Quarterly", a peer-reviewed journal written in the Hebrew language, directly discusses all aspects of the term. Most of the contents of the article I tried to publish is taken from there.

Would love for your assistance, I will try to do my best efforts to make the draft fit the criteria.

Much appreciated Maorash (talk) 18:23, 18 October 2025 (UTC)

You have at least 8 sections with zero sources. Theroadislong (talk) 19:14, 18 October 2025 (UTC)

Regarding CostalCal

Were two separate templates warning the user for their use of AI necessary? You replied to their Teahouse question, then left two comments on their talk page telling them to cease their use of AI (within three minutes of one another). Feels a bit unnecessary to me, especially since the sole edit since the Teahouse post was adding a link to an article. I understand AI is a very sensitive issue and I don't like its use, but that still felt very aggressive (maybe bitey, though I know the editor is not a new one. PhoenixCaelestis (Talk · Contributions) 21:29, 19 October 2025 (UTC)

PhoenixCaelestis Yes it was bitey, the problem is that the user is continuing to add hallucinated sources such as and with their edits, indicating that they are not reviewing the content after using AI. Diff ] Theroadislong (talk) 08:22, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

page declined

I am seeking clarification regarding why this page was not accepted. The subject of this article demonstrates greater notability compared to other contemporaries in the field. For instance, the late artist Harriet Barber, who studied with Desmond Haughton, is featured despite limited recognition. It is important that evaluations are made impartially and without racial bias. Ncornwell (talk) 10:03, 14 October 2025 (UTC)

Your vile accusation of racism is entirely without merit, your draft was declined because you have yet to show with independent sources that the topic passes WP:NARTIST, primary sources connected to him are not what we require. Theroadislong (talk) 12:12, 14 October 2025 (UTC)

In my previous message, I pointed out concerns regarding the objectivity of the page approval process. For example, a page about Harriet Barber—who has no significant public recognition—was approved without difficulty. Meanwhile, my submission about Des Haughton, an artist whose work is part of major public collections such as the National Portrait Gallery (one of Europe's most visited galleries), was rejected. This inconsistency prompts questions about the criteria being applied and the level of objectivity in the current approval system. Ncornwell (talk) 15:07, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

Please see other stuff exists, your draft was NOT rejected, it was declined for further improvement ie, correct formatting of sources, references need to be placed after the content they support. Theroadislong (talk) 15:25, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

Draft:Dargah Ustad E Zaman Trust

Hello Theroadislong, I've added a few more reliable sources to this Draft:Dargah Ustad E Zaman Trust and tried to improve it, all of which are independent. I'm still learning, so I need your help. Please review it and let me know if any further improvements are needed. I'd be very grateful. BrownCanary61 (talk) 07:00, 23 October 2025 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) @BrownCanary61, you've now asked this at the AfC help desk, AfC project talk page, and here. I've already answered: the sources may be reliable, but they do not provide significant coverage of the subject, and therefore do not establish notability. If you have no better sources, then this organisation is probably not notable, as indeed are the vast majority of organisations in this world. No amount of editing can magic notability out of thin air. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:11, 23 October 2025 (UTC)

Draft: Digul Gullas

Hi. I'm writing you this to kindly request for a reconsideration, because my submission's references clearly shows that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article as he was the youngest elected City Councilor not just in a particular city, but in the entire country. Also, he became the youngest officer of a prestigious collegial body of elected councilors all over the country. The online news articles from mainstream media clearly show significant coverage and not just passing mentions about the subject. These same sources are independent of the subject as these are mainstream media and not owned or controlled in any way by the subject. I'm fervently hoping you will approve of this submission. Thank you for your time. Erick Wrights (talk) 07:54, 23 October 2025 (UTC)

Being a city councillor doesn't make him notable, and being "the youngest officer of a prestigious collegial body of elected councilors" doesn't make him notable either I'm afraid. The draft is also very promotional do you have a conflict of interest by any chance? Theroadislong (talk) 07:58, 23 October 2025 (UTC)

Criterion of notability

I understand the logic of this criterion. It is a good standard to have. But it is very clearly not applied consistently or fairly across Wikipedia. There are many biographical articles that do not coming close to meeting the standards you have imposed. Alber Sorel (talk) 10:50, 23 October 2025 (UTC)

HalfMyDAF page

Hi--

Got your note about myHalfMyDAF page, and have made a few changes in response to your feedback.

did my best to keep it non-promotional-- there's not been any significant criticism of the program beyond the general feedback that it would be nice to have legislation requiring DAF pay-outs. (We support such legislation, but it's gone nowhere.)

The citations are from external, credible sources-- The Chronicle of Philanthropy, the Robb Report, the San Francisco Chronicle, etc. I've added a Bloomberg BuisessWeek reprint as well.

I'm happy to disclose that I'm the Founder-- I created the page because people have asked why there isn't one. Of course I can ask someone else to submit this on my behalf but that seems a little indirect.

In short, I'm asking for a little more feedback. Have I addressed the concerns? What else looks promotional? What language is vague? What do I need to do to disclose my connection with the program?

I get that Wikipedia is a high-integrity org. It also wants to be comprehensive. Having a hard time knowing what to do next. Thanks. WikiContributor (talk) 23:18, 26 October 2025 (UTC)

Your draft is entirely promotional, it tells us everything you would like us to know about the organisation. Wikipedia has no requirement to be "comprehensive" we don't need articles about everything. I strongly suggest you wait until somebody with no connection to you or the organisation decides you are a notable organisation and creates it. Theroadislong (talk) 07:45, 27 October 2025 (UTC)

Paid editing clarification regarding Royan Institute draft

Clarification on Paid Editing and Logo Copyright

I would like to clarify my relationship to Royan Institute and my contributions to Wikipedia.

I am not receiving any compensation, directly or indirectly, for writing or editing the Royan Institute article. My contributions are entirely voluntary and intended to improve Wikipedia in a neutral and verifiable way.

Regarding the logo and any images of the Institute: I designed the Institute's logo in the past and delivered it to Royan Institute, but I do not hold copyright over it. I am contributing as a private individual who has knowledge about the Institute and its activities, and I aim to write in an encyclopedic, neutral, and verifiable manner.--M.asadimotlagh (talk) 09:52, 27 October 2025 (UTC)

You clearly have a connection to the organisation so you need to disclose this. Theroadislong (talk) 09:58, 27 October 2025 (UTC)

Clarification on my relationship to Royan Institute and images

I would like to clarify my relationship to Royan Institute. I am not an employee, contractor, or patient of the Institute. I previously designed the Institute's logo and delivered it to them, but I do not hold copyright over it, nor do I have any ongoing financial or contractual relationship.

Regarding images: I used images found through Google search in the draft for illustrative purposes. I understand that I do not have copyright for these images and that they cannot be released on Wikipedia or Wikimedia Commons without explicit permission. I will remove all such images from the draft immediately and will ensure that any future images used are either properly licensed or explicitly released.

I am contributing to Wikipedia solely as a private individual, aiming to improve the article in a neutral and verifiable manner.--M.asadimotlagh (talk) 10:02, 27 October 2025 (UTC)

Hi there, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia! I wanted to let you know that I've declined your G15 speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Digilent]. G15 does not apply to all articles written by an LLM such as ChatGPT. Rather, G15 only applies to LLM-generated articles without reasonable human review, as evidenced by communication intended for the user, implausible non-existent references, and/or nonsensical citations. Although I may have erred, I did not see these signs and thus, have declined the speedy deletion. If you have any questions about this, please let me know. Thank you!

I have completed the re-submission. Thank you for your previous detailed feedback regarding "significant coverage."

I confirm the draft is now edited and structured to meet the WP:CREATIVE criteria for notability, specifically Theory (Significant New Concept): The Archigenetics theory is now documented by six independent, specialized platforms, it as more than a "passing mention." I added strong, historical sources (from 2010) to prove the subject's early.

Adding World Friendship Flag Project Inc. draft to an article instead?

Hello!

First of all, thanks so much for your feedback on my draft. I understand that the references at the time of submission were not adequate to support the draft and that the tone was unintentionally promotional. I have additionally realized that the subject may not meet notability standards. While this may make it ineligible for an independent article, I am considering if it would be better simply added to Summerville article instead, with the appropriate edits, as my draft concerns an organization based in that town and has had notable involvment the town. Please let me know if this would be a better route to take with the subject, or if this question would be better addressed elsewhere (perhaps on the Summerville talk page?) I have attempted to correct the tone and sources used, but again I do not feel that it warrants an article. I am also willing to disregard the subject if it would be ineligible for inclusion on the Summerville article as well.

Thank you!

I have 16 references in this page, only 3 references are from the company website and 1 reference from LinkedIn Can you tell me the best solution to this? Should I delete the four problematic references? Due the content , the only and best reference is from the company website and social networks for this information. as it is the original source.

Nideon (talk) 14:37, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

Yes please remove LinkedIn, their own website and company directory listings and profiles none of which are reliable independent sources. Theroadislong (talk) 14:46, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Theroadislong

Thanks for the update, I've just removed the linkedin, company page and directory links of the page , I hope that now it is fine , thanks for your support!! Nideon (talk) 14:57, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Theroadislong

I've just received the notification that you mention now the issue "comes nowhere near passing" Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)

my question, there are a similar cybersecurity irish companies with the same templete as the company page that I created it , they pass the notability check :

Exemple:

Agile Networks

for exemple this wikipedia page has less references that my company page . it is because I don't understand who the notability check score is calculate, thanks. Nideon (talk) 15:08, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

“Clarification about Draft:Galloni.net”

Hello Theroadislong,

Thank you for your patience. I understand your previous notes and I’ve now stopped editing the maintenance templates — that was my mistake. I have completely rewritten the article manually, without AI assistance, using only verified independent sources (HTNDoc, GFPRX, UrlShor, Semrush, Writesonic). Could you please take a quick look and let me know if the current version meets the basic neutrality and sourcing requirements? I’m happy to make further improvements based on your feedback.

Best regards, — Achille610IT Achille610IT (talk) 15:04, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

So why did you remove them yet again? You need to re-submit to get another review, I will not be reviewing this again. Theroadislong (talk) 15:09, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

AFC headers

Hi there. Do you know if users are allowed to remove the AfC headers from a draft they created, like this? I wasn't sure if this would be seen as an attempt to conceal the page's AfC history. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 13:45, 10 November 2025 (UTC)

I would guess they are allowed, but it isn't really helpful as they won't be able to submit when it comes to it! Theroadislong (talk) 13:51, 10 November 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for your comment - I have read several references about how to write a wikipedia page and am doing a full manual rewrite now....

how can I upload Edmund to Wikipedia find reliable sources since there are other medieval Parliament members who have it despite being minor figures. Alex132219georgiacyber (talk) 21:52, 10 November 2025 (UTC)

Brussels (Surname) - Review

Hey i wrote a page about my family history, and roots of the surname, of which the only other family regarding the surname brussels ive found after lots of searching are extremely clueless and curious aswell on the surname, you left a comment on my denial of the submission for Ancestry not being a reliable source, yet my photographic evidence is not taken by users online (such as writers on wikipedia and forums etc.) but rather the British Government. Ancestry is not user based, however the trees made by users are. My article does not mention a tree or show any family connections (apart from the regards of Matin and Beatrice) of who have a Marriage / Divorce record (which is also found on the references which i linked), they are also my great grandparents and id have thought knowing my own family history from not more than 100 years ago would be viable (of course readers dont know this, and editors have no evidence that im part of that family) but how is knowledge meant to be shared online, if theres nothing online, therefore my whole point of writing this? I hope i have conveyed my point for a resubmission - of which being I am the first source along with Government records to be on the internet writing about the history. RoyalRedRanger (talk) 19:09, 11 November 2025 (UTC)

See Wikipedia:Genealogy sources you will need to find another venue to publish your family history, it is not suitable for Wikipedia, we cannot accept original research or content supported by photographs and ancestry.com. Theroadislong (talk) 19:24, 11 November 2025 (UTC)

John Fettiplace

This John fettiplace is a different one the others are the 1658 one and the 1580 one but this one died in 1672 and is a different person who was the 1st baronet, put him on Wikipedia because he had significant coverage and the others are different people Alex132219georgiacyber (talk) 03:57, 12 November 2025 (UTC)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Jeremy_King_(restaurateur)

Thank you again for the feedback in regard to a COI.

I’ve reviewed, rewritten and reduced the ‘reception’ section completely, now with citations, from just two publications. I figure ‘less is more’ and I believe I am now demonstrating notability by describing the coverage which is clearly attributed to two reliable and independent sources. It is my view the quotes demonstrate critical perspective and not admiration or ‘puffery’ as I keep being told.

Other changes made:

Added an ‘Info box/quick facts’ section.

Added an ‘Affiliations’ citing contributions to the arts.

Removed ‘Further reading’ section.

Reduced and rewrote the ‘Reception’ section.

Please may I ask for a review of the submission?

Kind regards, Thomas Flynn (talk) 20:45, 12 November 2025 (UTC)

Removal of Facebook refs. on Ebonshire

It's been pointed out at WP:ABOUTSELF that Facebook posts ARE allowed, as long as they are not making exceptional claims. I merely cited them as evidence that there have been 5 volumes and b/c another editor tagged the statement "this full-length release includes 4 new tracks." after the removal of said citation. In lieu of the FB posts, I could post directly to the band's website where they describe the album and the songs added. Would you be ok with that? Raybeezer (talk) 10:46, 16 November 2025 (UTC)

The content is not in dispute so probably doesn't even need a source. Theroadislong (talk) 10:54, 16 November 2025 (UTC)

Hey! About the comment you made on the Draft

Draft:Jeffrey Kaplan (philosopher) you accused me of using AI and even claimed that I left "instructions" in place. Can you please explain what you mean? I have never ever used AI on wikipedia because 1) I don't need to 2) It's forbidden. I am drafting that article because Professor Kaplan is a very important researcher in the field of Jurisprudence that I research and I feel like the world deserves to know him better. So I never would use AI to write anything on that draft Victor Zaak Saraiva (talk) 12:36, 16 November 2025 (UTC)

Ok sorry you have an [insert year] comment which looks like AI created it. Theroadislong (talk) 13:18, 16 November 2025 (UTC)

Hey! Just so you know: I didn't write that. It was a fellow wikipedian who is editing that article. He likely did it so I would find a date with a source to back it up and write on top of that blank. I'll probably do it today and remove the blank regardless Victor Zaak Saraiva (talk) 13:46, 16 November 2025 (UTC)

Clarification on comments no cap fr fr.

Hello @Theroadislong, thanks for your feedback! You're helping a newbie editor turn into a seasoned veteran of the wikitrenches, so it's much appreciated. I'll remove references to the press releases and blogs from the article once I get to a laptop, but I did want to ask two things for my reference.

One: are authored articles/opinion pieces published by the subject/associated parties on notable media platforms okay to refer to as sources? I am aware of the notability requirement, so I will be more cognisant of only selecting publications that are of high merit for this and future pieces, if that is the case. If not, I shall steer clear.

Two, speaking of merit, while I technically agree with you that The Times of India is, well, questionable (to put it politely), it is still very widely read amongst the English-speaking audiences here. Is there somewhere I can refer to for the reasons why it is not considered notable media within the Wiki community? I want to clarify I do not mind foregoing its links - to the contrary, I am quite happy to - but I just want to know the logic for my working, if I am to provide the suggestion to someone in the future.

Once more, thanks a ton for the feedback! Srambled089 (talk) 14:18, 17 November 2025 (UTC)

"authored articles/opinion pieces published by the subject/associated parties on notable media platforms" clearly these woud not be independent sources so would not contribute to any notability. See WP:TIMESOFINDIA for the reasons why it is not considered a relaible source. Theroadislong (talk) 14:24, 17 November 2025 (UTC)

You're right, I had a brainfart there. >.<

And thanks a ton for that link! Srambled089 (talk) 17:10, 17 November 2025 (UTC)

Removed all (I think) references to blogs, press releases, and The Times of India. Let me know if there are any other improvements I can make to this draft. Cheers! Srambled089 (talk) 17:28, 17 November 2025 (UTC)

Submission declined

Hi Theroadislong,

The draft of the article Swedish National China Centre was declined due to not draft's references do not showing that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. I've added a source, a newspaper article that's independent from the subject. I was wondering what additional references that would need to be added in order for the article to be qualified? The institute that we are an independent unit of, Swedish Institute of International Affairs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_Institute_of_International_Affairs) and our sister centre, Stockholm Centre for Eastern European Studies (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockholm_Centre_for_Eastern_European_Studies), doesn't seem to have any independent references either. What makes their page eligable but not ours?

Apologies for any misunderstaning, this is the first time I'm editing. Thanks! Kinacentrum (talk) 14:20, 18 November 2025 (UTC)

See other stuff exists, Stockholm Centre for Eastern European Studies and Swedish Institute of International Affairs should probably both be deleted as they have no evidence of passing WP:NORG. Theroadislong (talk) 15:27, 18 November 2025 (UTC)

Dreams by Degrees - record label history rejection details

Hi,

My name is Jonathan and I recently received a rejection on my submission. I am the founder of the record label (which I disclosed) and was trying to capture its history and celebrate the bands — and the moment in time - that were involved. That said, can you provide more context into why it was rejected and how I can make it more impartial? I included links to all of the reviews I was able to find that exist online (or on the Wayback Machine) and felt I portrayed the label neutrally.

Any feedback would be appreciated, as I would like to have a successful post. Thanks.

Your draft Draft:Dreams by Degrees was declined not rejected, it is extremley promotional and VERY poorly sourced with whole sections having no references, you are using external links in the body of the article, we don't do that. "trying to capture its history and celebrate the bands" is against Wikipedia guidelines too. Theroadislong (talk) 20:48, 18 November 2025 (UTC)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nidSbW1Thc&list=RD9nidSbW1Thc&start_radio=1&pp=ygULTG9yZCBibGFraWWgBwE%3D <— Here is some music of Lord Blakie, a pretty well acclaimed Caribbean musician with sources and I can find more. I think he is certainly notable enough, especially as there is a page for Mighty Dougla among other even smaller Calypsonians, even Mighty sparrow knew and spoke about Blakie in some of his songs.

The battle of Belvedere estate wasn’t a battle instead more of a skirmish, sources don’t refer to it as a battle but more of an “attack” / “Skirmish” I’ll find some more sources (I know four is a bit small but there are limited sources, and there haven’t been many battles/Skirmishes in Grenada, the national archives might have letters regarding the battle (mentioned in letters from Samuel Mitchell to the English government and the king about the situation in Grenada). Mwen Sé Kéyòl Translator-a (talk) 20:02, 19 November 2025 (UTC)

Draft:Prince Alexander Literary Prize (Belgium)

Hello,

Thank you for reviewing my submission.

To address your concern regarding the connection of one of the award’s jury members to RTBF, I have added an additional source from La Libre Belgique:

https://www.lalibre.be/belgique/2012/08/09/mieux-faire-connaitre-alexandre-le-prince-discret-WM3D42KFEBA6PBPIUBYECKSTUQ/

While the article only mentions the award, it also refers to a previous La Libre article about the prize:

“Finally, as we have already read in La Libre – see the editions of July 28 and 29 – the Prince’s widow has also decided to create an annual literary prize for both French-speaking and Dutch-speaking individuals.”

In your opinion, would this addition satisfy the requirement for a third independent source to establish notability for the article?

Thank you for your time and consideration. Orlando Davis (talk) 14:43, 24 November 2025 (UTC)

Looks like a passing mention only, sources need to cover the topic in-depth with significant coverage. Theroadislong (talk) 14:58, 24 November 2025 (UTC)

The La Libre article states that there was a previous La Libre article dedicated to the award. I am arguing that this serves as proof that the article exists, and I hope that it will support approval of the article. We do not need to include links on Wikipedia. Orlando Davis (talk) 15:04, 24 November 2025 (UTC)

I don't think this supports approval of the draft remotely, but will leave it to another reviewer. Theroadislong (talk) 15:18, 24 November 2025 (UTC)
