If the description of the faction was written from the evidence provided by the game, would that article be accepted?

Unfortunately not, @
JonJ937. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia of
notable topics: we need to see significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are completely independent of the game.
So, for example, if you found multiple separate games journalism websites that discuss the Cult of Kosmos in detail, that may be acceptable.
It's written in an okay way, I don't see any issues with neutrality. Maybe my only concern is that it is written from a real-world point of view, when it is discussing a fictional organisation. Qcne(talk)11:58, 27 June 2024 (UTC)reply
Hi @
JonJ937. Most of them don't really mention the cult at all. They're good sources for looking at the development of the game, but not for your draft I am afraid. Qcne(talk)08:06, 3 July 2024 (UTC)reply
Thanks @
Qcne I'm trying to get this right as I believe it is a decent article.
Hey @
Qcne, I've scrapped the last article and am working on a new one. This game dropped beginning of the month, so hopefully i can contribute to Wikipedia.

Sorry for not responding to your last message, I missed it in my sea of notifications.
I do think starting on a more notable topic is probably a better idea. Check out
WP:NVIDEOGAME which, though not a policy is a useful essay.
I'll also just add there are plenty of ways to contribute to Wikipedia without creating articles! In fact, creating an article is probably the single most difficult task a new editor can do - akin to performing in a concern when you've only just picked up an instrument for the first time.
Thanks @
Qcne, have to break a few eggs to make that omelette, so practice makes perfect. Even though the process is difficult, I am enjoying learning. Thank you for the resources and your help

Use of gender to describe a character
@
Blockhaj the edits I made to the last chapter section of your assassins creed Valhalla article were made to retain an element of objectivity and keep the same theme throughout your article. Please explain to me why they were reverted?

They/them indicate several people or multiple personality dissorder (etc), which is not the case. Use he/she rather to indicate that the player can choose gender.

Your recent article submission to
Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by TheTechie 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:Kim Belair and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and
may be deleted.
