Why Most New Wikipedia Articles Get Deleted

By Wali Bukhari Introduction Every single day, #Wikipedia removes around 1,000 to 1,500 pages. That is roughly 10 to 25 percent of all new articles created. Most of these deletions happen within just one or two hours of the article being published. The number one reason? The topic is not considered notable enough — not because the writing is poor or the content is wrong, but simply because the topic has not been covered enough by outside, trustworthy sources. What Does "Notable" Actually Mean? Wikipedia has a clear rule called the General Notability Guideline ( GNG ). It says that a topic deserves an article only if it has been covered in a meaningful way by reliable, independent sources — meaning sources that have no personal connection to the subject. Just because something exists does not mean it belongs on Wikipedia. No matter how well you write an article, if the topic has not been talked about by outside sources, the article will be removed. Wikipedia also has extra rul...

How to Get a Google Knowledge Panel in 2025

If you're building a strong personal or business brand online, a Google Knowledge Panel can be a game changer. As someone who helps entrepreneurs and creators with their digital visibility, I, Wali Bukhari, want to break down how you can secure your own Knowledge Panel in 2025 and why it matters.

A Google Knowledge Panel is the information box that appears on the right-hand side of search results when someone searches for a notable person, brand, or business. It showcases verified data, links, social profiles, and more all pulled from trusted sources across the web.



Google doesn't allow users to directly create a Knowledge Panel, but there are strategic steps to increase your chances:


Build a strong digital footprint

Publish your bio across authoritative platforms like Crunchbase, IMDb, Forbes, and Business Insider (if relevant). I recommend getting listed in reputable directories as well.


Claim your Google entity

Use Google Search Console to link your site, and claim any existing panels through your verified accounts.


Get featured on news websites

Media coverage plays a massive role in Google's data collection. Consider submitting press releases or contributing to online publications.


Use structured data (schema markup)

Add schema.org metadata to your website to help Google understand who you are.


Leverage Wikipedia

These are top sources Google relies on for verified information. Make sure you (or a trusted editor) create pages that follow their notability guidelines.


As someone who's worked on dozens of Knowledge Panels, I'm happy to guide you through the process—from strategy to live results. Whether you're a public figure, startup founder, or creative entrepreneur, a Knowledge Panel is a long-term digital asset you shouldn’t miss out on.

Walking Into September with Intention | Wali Bukhari

September is not just another month—it’s an invitation to slow down, reset, and realign. As I step into this new chapter, I carry with me: Self-care as a daily practice Softer steps and lighter shoulders Gratitude in my hands, peace as my compass Fresh eyes, an open heart, and a hopeful mind A deeper trust in the universe and its timing For me, September is about embracing balance, welcoming growth, and allowing life to unfold at its own pace. Each step forward is lighter when guided by gratitude, mindfulness, and trust. I’m Wali Bukhari, and this is how I choose to walk into September—with intention, clarity, and a fresh mindset. How are you stepping into this new month? Wali Bukhari

Your personal brand is your digital reputation and it's more powerful than ever.

 In 2025, people don’t Google your company first. They Google you. But here’s the challenge many face: ❌ You have the skills, but you're not visible ❌ You're creating, but not connecting ❌ You're active online, but not building a brand that sticks That’s where personal branding becomes a game changer and AI can make it easier. ✅ Need help writing your bio? AI can guide you ✅ Not sure what content to post? AI can give ideas ✅ Want to show up better in search? AI tools can help you optimize ✅ Trying to stay consistent? Let AI handle the routine tasks But remember: AI is a tool, not a voice. You are the brand. AI just helps you amplify it. If you're a creator, entrepreneur, or professional start investing in your brand now. Because if you're not building your digital presence, you're letting someone else tell your story.
