Disambiguation link notification for July 26

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Tom Drury, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page John Hawkes. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Orphaned non-free image File:Kaveh Akbar - Martyr.jpeg

Thanks for uploading File:Kaveh Akbar - Martyr.jpeg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:18, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

Divedapper moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Divedapper. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability and it is promotional and reads like an advertisement. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Broc (talk) 20:17, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

Hello Broc,

Thanks for attempting to contribute to this page. Your comments couldn't be more wrong, however.

If you were even mildly acquainted with American poetry, you would know that 81 of its major poets have been interviewed by Divedapper: https://www.divedapper.com/interviews/ . That alone establishes notability.

If you were acquainted also with Wikipedia's notability guidelines, you would know that it includes a subject that has received media coverage or critical acclaim. Both are true for Divedapper. The sources I use are taken from a national media platform in NPR, a major regional and Pulitzer Prize-winning newspaper in The Indianapolis Star, a national poetry organisation in Poetry Foundation, and two major literary publications in Ploughshares and The Adroit Journal. The last is from the student newspaper of Butler University, one of the top-ranked colleges in the USA: https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/butler-university-1788/overall-rankings . Perhaps you have never heard of any of these?

And no. This page is not "promotional and reads like an advertisement." It is the simplest of Wikipedia pages: it states and cites sources. Perhaps you have a different definition for "promotional" and "advertisement" that are superior to Wikipedia's?

I would have blamed your actions here as lack of knowledge in literature, but I see that you created two pages for books: A Prayer for Travelers and How to Think Like a Mathematician, both of which do not have a single major reputable source in their fields. I would suggest that you fix those, and perhaps use them to understand better what notability means on Wikipedia.

So if your actions are not borne of ignorance, then they must be targeted. It is disappointing. It sabotages the reasons for Wikipedia's existence. I will move Divedapper back to the main space and I will have to consider lodging a report of targeted interference.

Best,

I just saw that you also commented out the publication's logo WITHOUT noting it in your edit summary. That's on the brink of vandalism. LityNerdyNerd (talk) 21:54, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi @LityNerdyNerd, thank you for scrutinizing my actions as editor; if you think my articles should be improved, go ahead and do it, Wikipedia is exactly made for that. Now back to the page you created: my main concern and the reason for moving to draftspace is that none of the sources you linked are reliable secondary sources, in fact, they are all interviews. If you look at WP:ORGCRITE you will see that the main criterion for notability is for the subject to have received of significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject. I see no secondary source used in your article (they are all interviews with the founder), nor elsewhere.

Just for you to know, WP:DRAFTIFY is part of the new pages patrol process when the page lacks adequate sourcing but there are possibilities for improvement. I was not specifically targeting you or this page, I was just patrolling all recently created pages. I don't think there is such thing as a report of targeted interference, given anyone on Wikipedia can edit pages; however, feel free to raise the topic at WP:ANI if you feel my behavior is on the brink of vandalism. Note that this might backfire, though.

I now brought the discussion to WP:AFD, and the community will get consensus as to whether the page should be deleted or kept. Broc (talk) 05:54, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
