Seeking Guidance on Improving Article to Meet Wikipedia's Standards

Hello editors,

I’m reaching out for advice on how to improve this article draft so it meets Wikipedia’s guidelines. I am a paid contributor working on behalf of a client, and I’m committed to ensuring this article aligns with Wikipedia's policies, especially regarding neutrality, notability, and reliable sourcing. The draft was recently declined with feedback indicating concerns about the neutrality of the content and insufficient references to establish notability. Here are some specific areas where I’d appreciate guidance: Sources for Notability: Could you clarify what types of sources would best demonstrate notability for this subject? I have referenced several sources, but I realize they may not meet the necessary standards. Any advice on the types of secondary, independent sources I should look for would be very helpful. Neutrality and Tone: I understand the importance of maintaining a neutral tone, and I’m reviewing the article to eliminate any promotional language. If there are specific sections or phrases that stand out as non-neutral, please let me know so I can focus on adjusting them. Thank you in advance for any guidance or specific feedback you can offer. I’m committed to making the necessary changes to ensure the draft meets Wikipedia’s standards.

@InfoExpertWriter: No amount of editing can make a non-notable subject notable and that is the (main) issue. SmartSE (talk) 16:23, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the feedback, SmartSE. I understand that notability is the main issue, and I’ll re-evaluate the sources to ensure compliance with Wikipedia’s standards. InfoExpertWriter (talk) 00:32, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request for Guidance: Verifying Historical Achievements for Gaetano Minale’s Biography

Hello! I’m working on a draft biography for Gaetano Minale, an 86-year-old artist with a rich history of exhibitions and awards, especially between the 1960s and 1990s. Many of his achievements were documented in physical formats—books, binders, and catalogs from the time—which he has preserved in his personal archive. Due to the era, much of this information isn't available on independent websites or digital platforms, which makes meeting Wikipedia’s reference requirements challenging. Could you please advise on the best way to approach this? Would scans of these awards or catalogs help, or are there alternative ways to validate these older accomplishments within Wikipedia’s guidelines?

Hello! I wanted to follow up on my question regarding verification of historical achievements for Gaetano Minale’s biography. I realize that these older, non-digital references might require special handling, and I’d greatly appreciate any guidance on how to proceed. If there are specific steps or alternative sources that would best support his archived accomplishments, please let me know. Thank you for your time and assistance!
