| Notability | |
| neo | Neologisms are not considered suitable for Wikipedia unless they receive substantial use and press coverage; this requires strong evidence in independent, reliable, published sources. Links to sites specifically intended to promote the neologism itself do not establish its notability. |
| web | This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of websites, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time. |

| Invalid submissions | |
| empty or blank | We're sorry, but we cannot accept blank submissions. If in fact you did include text within the article, but it isn't showing, please make sure that any extra text above your entry is removed, as it may be causing it to hide and not be shown to the reviewer. |
| lang|language or notenglish|language | The submission appears to be written in language. This is the English Language Wikipedia; we can only accept articles written in the English Language. Please provide a high-quality English Language translation of your submission. Have you visited the Wikipedia home page? You can probably find a version of Wikipedia in your language. |
| test | This submission seems to be a test edit and not an article worthy of an encyclopedia. Please use the sandbox for any editing tests, but do not submit for review until you have an article that you want reviewed for inclusion in Wikipedia. Thank you. |
| redirect | This is not the correct place to request new redirects. Please follow the instructions at Articles for creation/Wizard-Redirects. Thank you. |
| BLP and vandalism | |

| Submission content | |
| cv or cv-n | Wikipedia cannot accept material copied from elsewhere, unless it explicitly and verifiably has been released to the world under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license or into the public domain and is written in an acceptable tone—this includes material that you own the copyright to. You should attribute the content of a draft to outside sources, using citations, but copying and pasting or closely paraphrasing sources is not acceptable. The entire draft should be written using your own words and structure. Note to reviewers: do not leave copyright violations sitting in the page history. Please follow the instructions here. |

| source or v or rs | This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources. |
| not | This submission is not suitable for Wikipedia. Please read 'What Wikipedia is not' for more information. |
| news or oneevent | This submission appears to be a news report of a single event and may not be notable enough for an article in Wikipedia. Please see Wikipedia:NOT#NEWS and Wikipedia:ONEEVENT for more information. |
| dict or d | Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a dictionary. We cannot accept articles that are little more than definitions of words or abbreviations as entries. A good article should begin with a good definition, but expand on the subject. You might try creating a definition for this instead at Wiktionary, which is a dictionary. Please only do so if it meets that sister project's criteria for inclusion. These require among others, attestation for the word or phrase, as verified through clear widespread use, or its use in permanently recorded media, conveying meaning, in at least three independent instances spanning at least a year. |
| plot | The proposed article is not suitable for Wikipedia. Because Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, articles on fictional subjects should cover their real-world context and contain sourced analysis, offering detail on a work's development, impact or historical significance—not just a summary of the plot. You may wish to add this content to an existing article. As anyone can edit Wikipedia, you are free to do so yourself. |
| plot|Pagename | The proposed article is not suitable for Wikipedia. Because Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, articles on fictional subjects should cover their real-world context and contain sourced analysis, offering detail on a work's development, impact or historical significance—not just a summary of the plot. You may wish to add this content to an existing article, such as '''Pagename'''. As anyone can edit Wikipedia, you are free to do so yourself. |
| joke | It appears that your submission is either an attempt to be humorous rather than factual, or is an obvious hoax. As Wikipedia strives to contain only factual entries, we can not accept your submission at this time. |
| Prose issues | |
| essay | This submission reads more like an essay than an encyclopedia article. Submissions should summarise information in secondary, reliable sources and not contain opinions or original research. Please write about the topic from a neutral point of view in an encyclopedic manner. |
| npov | This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject. |
| advert or spam or adv | This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies. |
| Duplicate articles | |
| exists | Thank you for your submission, but the subject of this article already exists in Wikipedia. |
| exists|Pagename | Thank you for your submission, but the subject of this article already exists in Wikipedia. You can find it and improve it at '''Pagename''' instead. |
| duplicate or dup | This appears to be a duplicate of another submission which is also waiting to be reviewed. To save time we will consider the other submission and not this one. |
| duplicate|Title or dup|Title | This appears to be a duplicate of another submission, Title, which is also waiting to be reviewed. To save time we will consider the other submission and not this one. |

| context | This submission provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject matter. Please see the guide to writing better articles for information on how to better format your submission. |
| mergeto or merge | The proposed article does not have sufficient content to require an article of its own, but it could be merged into the existing article on the same subject. Since anyone can edit Wikipedia, you are welcome to add that information yourself. Thank you. |
| mergeto|Pagename or merge|Pagename | The proposed article does not have sufficient content to require an article of its own, but it could be merged into the existing article at '''Pagename'''. Since anyone can edit Wikipedia, you are welcome to add that information yourself. Thank you. |
| afd | Unfortunately, the target article was previously deleted and has been prevented from recreation, so to create a new page there you will need to request unprotection here. Afterwards, your submission will be moved to article space. Thanks for your submission and we apologize for the inconvenience. |
