Interference
May I know what is your authority in deciding on why submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article? I am perplexed with your unwelcome interference and monopoly on deciding. These are published news articles. I will update the references and re-submit but I do not want you to message me.Burntonion (talk) 11:50, 21 January 2026 (UTC)
- @Burntonion Well, It’s not just about the reference. For a released film we need at least two critical reviews in ‘reliable sources’. Even though some of your are references reliable, as per the film notability WP:NFILM, at least two reviews needed. Check the decline comment on the draft that I left.
- Also refer WP:ICTFSOURCES to check reliability of common references.
- Once it’s addressed, resubmit. Happy editing! AlphaCore talk 11:59, 21 January 2026 (UTC)
- whatever, it looks like a deliberate attempt to move all articles to draft space wasting everybody's time. Articles develop over time we need to give some space to editors. This rotating scenario feel like unhappy editing ! and kindly dont post guidelines after every line. This isnt a classroom. The first draft by me is notable. Period Burntonion (talk) 12:03, 21 January 2026 (UTC)
- @Burntonion If an article is not ready yet in mainspace, it would be moved to the draft space or will go through AfD.
- I strongly suggest you to read and refer corresponding guidelines and reviewers comments. Address the issue and work on it. Your article is still in draft space for the reason I mentioned above. It it was a non notable subject I would have gone through WP:AFD. AlphaCore talk 16:09, 21 January 2026 (UTC)

Request for review after improvements to Draft: Vanchinathan T
Hello,
I have revised and improved the draft Draft: Vanchinathan T by making the content more neutral and encyclopedic.
All the information and details provided in the draft are accurate and based on verifiable sources to the best of my knowledge.
At present, there are limited independent sources that focus directly on Vanchinathan T. However, I have added two additional reliable news sources that mention major investments by his companies (Jeanuvs and Yeemak) in Tamil Nadu, which are closely related to his professional work and public impact.
These sources highlight large-scale industrial and defence-related investments that contribute to regional development.
I kindly request you to review the updated draft and let me know if further improvements or sources are required.
Thank you for your time and guidance.

Question regarding Draft:Presolv36
Hi AlphaCore, thank you for reviewing Draft:Presolv360. I am a paid editor and have disclosed this on my user page per WP:PAID. I have rewritten the draft significantly to remove promotional language. Could you point to specific sentences that still read as promotional so I can address them precisely? Legalwiki123 (talk) 09:33, 16 March 2026 (UTC)
- @Legalwiki123 Hi, I see that you have disclosed your interest. Refer WP:NPOV for writing in a neutral point of view and adding from and citing reliable sources, WP:RS.
- refer WP:YFA for getting a better idea of writing for the first time.
- Once you think all set to go for a review, hit the submit and wait for other reviewers. Happy editing.! AlphaCore talk 23:35, 16 March 2026 (UTC)
Please advise
Please advise on the Draft:Rajeev Bhattacharyya as you reviewed one of his book here. I don't have much information about him but in my faith, he passes WP:AUTHOR criteria.
Kindly suggest me if I can add or remove something more. SatnaamIN (talk) 07:35, 20 March 2026 (UTC)
Regarding Draft:Sagi Sree Hari Varma
Hi AlphaCore! I have significantly revised the draft for Sagi Sree Hari Varma following your feedback on independent coverage. I have removed the local/brief mentions (AInvest, Coastal Times) and focused the article on five feature-length biographical profiles from The Hindu, Eenadu, and Sakshi, which provide the independent analysis and detail required by WP:BIO.
I have also added a recent 2026 recognition from the Indian Panorama International Film Festival and included an External links section with IMDb and an official website for verification. Could you please re-evaluate the draft for notability based on these national-level secondary sources? Thank you for your time and guidance Hv2567 (talk) 18:20, 26 March 2026 (UTC)
- Hi Alpha Core - have made sgnificant changes to my article and all added additional citations and news. Kindly evalute wenever you can ! Thanks so much! Hv2567 (talk) 16:21, 16 May 2026 (UTC)

Articles for Creation backlog drive

Hello AlphaCore:
WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive in August!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than a month of outstanding reviews from the current 3+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 August 2026 through 31 August 2026.
You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.
Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.
There is a backlog of over 5000 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:36, 19 July 2026 (UTC)
- If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself from the mailing list or alternatively to opt-out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Wikipedians who opt out of message delivery to your user talk page.
Your submission at Articles for creation: Neelamudi (film) has been accepted

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions. Feel free to further improve your accepted article.
Future articles
- Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without submitting a draft for review. However, you may continue submitting drafts to Articles for creation if you prefer.
- Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.
Next steps
- Find other Wikipedia articles related to your topic and add links pointing to the new article. This helps readers find it.
- Group the article with similar subjects by adding relevant categories.
- You may consider nominating a fact from the article within the next 7 days to appear on the Main Page's Did you know section.
- Wikipedia is a work in progress. You can continue to expand and improve the new article.
- The new article will become eligible to be indexed on search engines once patrolled or after 90 days; search engines may take time to reflect this.
- For friendly peer support regarding editing, sourcing, or policies, visit the Teahouse, a question and answer hub for new editors.
Thanks again, and happy editing!
