Spread the WikiLove by wishing another user Happy Holidays ↗, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past, a good friend, or just some random person. Happy New Year! <br />

''Spread the cheer by adding {{tls|Happy holidays}} to their talk page with a friendly message.''

Lean Back article rejection discussion



So is my "evidence" sufficient to you to bring the article back and approve it's notability or do I need to provide other additional sources? I have been waiting nearly a month now for any answer about this topic on Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk/Archives/2026 April 9 ↗ and still nothing has changed.

JonekX (talk) 08:57, 20 May 2026 (UTC)

:Hello, @JonekX. I asked about one of the sources, that's all. I had no part in reviewing or rejecting your draft, and have no intention to look at it now.
:Nothing has changed since April 9 because your draft was rejected. Nothing will change unless you persuade the rejecting reviewer, @Thilio, that there is a good reason to revisit their decision. ColinFine (talk) 10:04, 20 May 2026 (UTC)
