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:Benoit Saint-Denis, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.

Hello. I reviewed it and it should now be very similar to other MMA fighters pages. Gowdu59 (talk) 14:51, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you in advance for the second look. I did not manage to upload a picture but this could be added later on. Regards. Gowdu59. Gowdu59 (talk) 16:10, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, @Gowdu59! I've had a second look, and you've done a good job clearing up most of the NPOV issues, well done! However, there are still a few problems, so in the meantime, may I recommend looking at the Manual of Style and ensure your draft is up to those guidelines? Have a great day!

Your submission at Articles for creation: Benoit Saint-Denis (July 18)

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

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.

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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Benoit Saint-Denis 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:Benoit Saint-Denis, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.

Good evening. Benoit Saint Denis already had articles (not just mentions) in 3 of the most famous French media : Le Figaro, Le Parisien and L'équipe. These are listed in the references. For sure, he just starts being known in the english global media but UFC and Martial arts specialised media already made articles about him (also listed). Moreover, I see that Niklas Stolz and others already have their Wiki article being published also has a lower ranking and was bitten by Saint Denis. Saint Denis's absence from En.Wikipedia was notified several times in the MMA social media. Could you please advise on the way ahead ? Regards. Gowdu59 (talk) 19:06, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Cassiopeia talk 08:49, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Gowdu59,, good day. If you want to add back the info, you need to provide independent, reliable source to support the info claim as per verification, WP:PROVEIT and WP:BURDEN. Sources such as from the newspapers would be acceptable. Cassiopeia talk 08:51, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Cassiopeia. Thanks for the hint. I am going to restore the text and reference it with French and English reliable sources. Regards Gowdu59 (talk) 09:42, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Gowdu59, forget to mention, source can be in any languages as long as they are independent and reliable. See welcome message for some links so you may familiar with some Wikipedia guidelines. Stay safe and best.
