Figshare Not GNG?

If figshare is not considered GNG, then what is? Or does everyone who posts here have to be a two time Nobel winner to get anything done?

If that's not good enough, how about the fact that I am personally invited to the CLC? Thermodynamic physicists are not good enough?

If you're setting the bar this high, then NO ONE can pass it. Period. JustMichael80 (talk) 19:42, 29 June 2026 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) After some discussion, I did move it back, tag it, and rework it. Just a courtesy note because I know you moved it originally. Bobby Cohn 🍁 (talk) 21:05, 29 June 2026 (UTC)

Your content provides zero indication that Figshare is in anyway shape or form notable in Wikipedia terms. We require significant coverage in reliable independent published sources. Theroadislong (talk) 21:09, 29 June 2026 (UTC)

And just how does one go about doing that without bribing college officials into giving them a citation for submitting to arXiv? Figshare is about as good as it gets--Zenodo and others are just downstream lesser quality versions thereof. As I mentioned, I'm willing to send whoever I need to copies of the letter from the Université Paris or the invitation from Dr. Umit Gunes himself. We can't use LinkedIn because that's just a social media site no matter how loudly they claim otherwise, and others are just as problematic. I've asked Sabine Hossenfelder for a citation, but I supposed I could possibly get one from Voss or Shevlin. Not sure what else I can do to validate notability in WP terms. JustMichael80 (talk) 21:19, 29 June 2026 (UTC)

You have clearly misunderstood how Wikipedia works. Wikipedia is only interested in what people who have no connection with the subject, and who have not been prompted or fed information on behalf of the subject, have chosen to publish about the subject in reliable published sources. If those sources don't exist then we can't have an article on the subject. Theroadislong (talk) 21:24, 29 June 2026 (UTC)

I was mistaken about wanting to write an article about my startup--not really what I am aiming for. The PPS, however? That deserves an article because it's pure mathematics and thermodynamics. Yes, it's awaiting peer review. No, it hasn't been cited yet. Yes, I have a working model demonstrating the physics that has been rigorously vetted.

Constructal law has found its precondition. If that's not worthy of an article, I don't know what is.

You don't want me to write it? That's fine--I'm happy to follow ToS and come back after the conference in October and ask for another editor to give it a go. I'm not into stroking my own ego because I killed it years ago. If I have to lie about something to get others hyped, it's not worth it. I'm only interested in bare bones objective Truth. Nothing less will do. JustMichael80 (talk) 21:32, 29 June 2026 (UTC)

I have no idea what "PPS" is and I'm afraid you will find that Wikipedia has no interest in your "bare bones objective Truth". Theroadislong (talk) 05:03, 30 June 2026 (UTC)

Screen capped. Wikipedia isn't interested in objective truth. Got it. JustMichael80 (talk) 21:22, 30 June 2026 (UTC)

See Wikipedia:Verifiability, not truth. Theroadislong (talk) 21:25, 30 June 2026 (UTC)

Objective truth is verifiable immediately from external sources. That's why it's objective. JustMichael80 (talk) 21:44, 30 June 2026 (UTC)

Ok you know best, good luck. Theroadislong (talk) 21:47, 30 June 2026 (UTC)

About tagging G12

When doing tagging as such, as you tagged the Sandbox of GlammySammy, please also notify the User of Wikipedia's Copyright policy. This is also mentioned in the G12 itself. Thanks Enćenćecasïdća (talk) 19:58, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

BTW, in this case, I've already done it. Just for future. Thanks again. Enćenćecasïdća (talk) 20:08, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

Template:Db-copyvio-notice. Enćenćecasïdća (talk) 20:08, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

Will do thanks. Theroadislong (talk) 20:45, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

Draft:USPS Postal Cities

Resubmitted with separate external links and references sections Block411 (talk) 21:07, 4 July 2026 (UTC)

And as I said before it would be better to use them to cite content instead adding a huge list of external links isn't remotely helpful in getting the draft accepted. Theroadislong (talk) 21:29, 4 July 2026 (UTC)

Draft: Do Duniya Ek Dil

Hello. I've read your feedback regarding the decline of the draft. But I'm not not here to justify it.you're a senior editor and I respect that. Times of India is the most trusted article in India and used in every ITV article, as far as I know. If you don't mind, why don't you have a look at it? Should I re-submit it or?let me know.Thank you. Rudrobio (talk) 11:29, 5 July 2026 (UTC)

See WP:TIMESOFINDIA for why we don't use it. Theroadislong (talk) 12:06, 5 July 2026 (UTC)

Yeah.I see. Half of them voted for additional considerations. So there are no big news company like Times Of India. So,what can I do? Also Editors from India accept it as reliable. This is so confusing. Rudrobio (talk) 12:23, 5 July 2026 (UTC)

This is the English Wikipedia, nobody here accepts The Times of India as reliable. Theroadislong (talk) 12:27, 5 July 2026 (UTC)

There's nothing I can do. That's the maximum reliable (or so called) sources

I can add and there is nothing left. Note that the draft contains citations from other news companies as well.so sad to see all of my efforts have gone in vein. Rudrobio (talk) 13:07, 5 July 2026 (UTC)

christian nourry

what did i do wrong exactly Tthekingofthewest (talk) 15:20, 5 July 2026 (UTC)

Your draft Draft:Christian Nourry was originally created using AI and doesn't show how he passes the criteria at WP:GNG and now you have re-submitted with zero improvement. Theroadislong (talk) 15:44, 5 July 2026 (UTC)

no AI at all Tthekingofthewest (talk) 18:15, 7 July 2026 (UTC)

Your comment on my article

hi @Theroadislong, i want to ask why you left these comments on my article:

• Comment: we also literally have coverage at 2026 European heatwaves already so ✌️ 23:46, 4 July 2026 (UTC)

• Comment: It reads like a school essay. Where did all this content come from? Cite your sources and remove questions like "But how come?" Wikipedia articles NEVER ask questions. Theroadislong (talk) 17:31, 4 July 2026 (UTC)
• Comment: GPTZero says 70% AI generated. Theroadislong (talk) 17:26, 4 July 2026 (UTC)

I understand constructive feedback but these comments are a bit rude. I am a Wikipedia beginner and I am trying hard to make my articles and I have only sourced these from real websites, not AI and LLMs. I really did want to make a good draft of these things, and I understand failing at it first try, but these comments did sting.

with all respect, lets all be nice to Wiki users!

sincerely, @Apolhead.22. Apolhead.22 (talk) 16:30, 5 July 2026 (UTC)

Your draft Draft:2026 Europe Heatwave duplicates an article we already have here 2026 European heatwaves you can add referenced content to that one. Please read WP:YFA you are diving in with the most difficult task of all here, creating an article; there was nothing rude about any of my comments. Theroadislong (talk) 16:36, 5 July 2026 (UTC)

Dr. Sunil Gupta name has Guinness book World Record for participating in the largest diabetic health screening at multiple location, Nagpurjournalism (talk) 07:25, 6 July 2026 (UTC)

Having a Guinness book World Record confers zero notability. Theroadislong (talk) 07:34, 6 July 2026 (UTC)

COI tag?

I don't understand the basis for adding a conflict of interest tag. Could you please explain what evidence suggests that I have a conflict of interest with this article? Simply disagreeing with edits or participating in discussions does not by itself, establish a conflict of interest. If there are specific concerns, please point them out so they can be discussed. BriefLaw (talk) 09:05, 6 July 2026 (UTC)

Sorry it was your username that seemed to indicate a conflict plus bypassing the WP:AFC process. Theroadislong (talk) 09:07, 6 July 2026 (UTC)

I've already mentioned on my user page that I'm a law student, which is why most of my editing is related to law topics. My username isn't connected to this article or its subject. Regarding the draft, it had been waiting for quite some time without being accepted or declined through AFC. I thought it would be reasonable to move it to mainspace so that editors familiar with the topic could evaluate it. If experienced editors determine that it does not meet Wikipedia's standards, I have no objection to it being moved back to draft or otherwise handled through the normal editorial process. BriefLaw (talk) 09:11, 6 July 2026 (UTC)

Draft: Casper Canada

Hi there,

I'm a new editor on here, so bare with me if this isn't the right format or channel, but I just had some questions about my submission on Casper Canada. I did indeed issue a disclosure on my page with my affiliations as a paid editor. So I'm just wondering if that was the major issue, or moreso the notability factor. I did read through the resources you sent which I appreciate. I just wanted to get a better sense of it's an overall notability issue or the specifics of my citations and sources. I will, however, go through and adjust the language so it is more neutral.

Thanks! Mavenwriter (talk) 20:00, 6 July 2026 (UTC)

Draft Updated Following Your Suggestions - Request for Review

Hello @Theroadislong,

Thank you for taking the time to review my draft and for your helpful comments. I have now made the changes you suggested, including removing the honorific "Dr." from the title, removing unnecessary bold formatting, correcting the formatting issues, and ensuring references are not placed in section headings.

I would be grateful if you could take another look at the draft when you have time and let me know if there are any further improvements needed, particularly regarding notability and sourcing.

Thank you again for your guidance and assistance.

Best regards,

copy of the deleted text

Hello @Theroadislong,

I noticed that Draft:Curtis Lee Shull was deleted under G15. I am not requesting that it be restored or resubmitted. I would simply like a copy of the deleted text for my own records, if that is permissible because I spend a lot of time compiling it. If restoring it temporarily to my userspace is easier or however you can provide it to me, that would also be appreciated. Thank you for your time. Onyximo (talk) 19:12, 12 July 2026 (UTC)

I am not an admin, you will need to contact the deleting admin User:Dr vulpes. Theroadislong (talk) 20:58, 12 July 2026 (UTC)

Draft:Viktor Knavs

I wanted to know what "notability cannot be inherited" means. Can you please elaborate on that? Wikiman (Talk) 19:51, 13 July 2026 (UTC)

Being the father of a notable person doesn't necessarily make him notable. Theroadislong (talk) 20:13, 13 July 2026 (UTC)

So by your logic, that would also apply to Amalija Knavs? Wikiman (Talk) 20:14, 13 July 2026 (UTC)

No...there has been significant coverage of Amalija Knavs in reliable sources. Theroadislong (talk) 20:22, 13 July 2026 (UTC)

Draft: Dikkie Scipio

Hi @Theroadislong, Thank you for you fast review on my article for Dikkie Scipio. I see that 'The draft requires multiple published secondary sources'. In fact the articles of de Volkskrant, EWmagazine and A.Zine are independent sources (all in Dutch though). However, the wiki article refers to some of those sometimes 5 times. Do you think that it would be helpful to trim the article, as there are several pieces of content duplicate themselves? How many of additional sources do you think would be helpful for approval? Would removing the phrases on personal philosophy like 'according to Scipio' also help? I would really appreciate your elaborative feedback! Square Spiral (talk) 14:09, 15 July 2026 (UTC)

A trim would certainly help, as a lot of the content seems to be sourced to an interview , being a founding partner of of a non notable company KAAN Architecten isn't helping either. We have little interest in what she wants to say about herself and this draft tells us EVERYTHING that she would like us to know, rather than reporting what the sources say. Theroadislong (talk) 18:21, 15 July 2026 (UTC)

I see! Many thanks for your comments, that is super helpful!

I will work on improvements then! Square Spiral (talk) 06:46, 16 July 2026 (UTC)

Draft:Death of Lindsey Graham

This draft wasn’t submitted for review, but I noticed your comment about it having weird tense, but someone requested copyediting for the draft. ~2026-39904-70 (talk) 06:21, 16 July 2026 (UTC)

Hello. Regarding Draft:Sharon Gabay — you asked how it passes WP:GNG. No single source is perfect, so I would point to the combination, per WP:BASIC:

1. Makor Rishon (15 July 2026) — a full-length feature by journalist Arnon Segal about my book "Jerusalemites" and my work, in a national newspaper: https://www.makorrishon.co.il/news/local/article/350013

2. Independent features on my exhibitions in three countries: Montreal Gazette (2 Nov 2017), Listín Diario and Diario Libre (Aug–Sep 2023, Dominican Republic), and The Jerusalem Post (11 Dec 2022) — all written by staff journalists, none interview-based.

3. Profile pieces also exist — Reuters via Ynetnews (2015) and mako (2016) — though I recognize these are interview-based and weigh less.

I am the subject and have declared my COI on the draft's talk page. If the combination still falls short in your view, I will not resubmit and will wait until further independent coverage exists. Could you please take another look? Thank you. SHARONGABAY2 (talk) 07:42, 18 July 2026 (UTC)

I think WP:TOOSOON probably applies. Theroadislong (talk) 07:44, 18 July 2026 (UTC)
