I just would like to use this as a phrase. There is no sentece

I would like to say "Mention for me!" . The context is understood as "Mention for me in this document" or "Mention for me in this analysis"

Thanks

In those two sentences, the "for" would be wrong.

If you want the person to write your name in their document, then you would have to say "Mention me in the document" or just "Please mention me" (as long as the other person knows what you are talking about and why.)

I understand.
However, what is the meaning of "Mention for me"? For example: "There is a mention for me in this article". Is this using of "mention for me" grammatically right or it is wrong at all? Does it means for example "In this document I'm mentioned" or "There is a litle text in this document that mention me"?

"There is a mention for me" is not grammatically correct English so it means nothing.

Try "I am mentioned in this document".

Hello emsr2d2,

Is your answer about the incorrect usage of "for" or do you mean that the word "mention" is incorrect?

Because except "for", the sentence seemed okay to me since the word mention is noun here.

Also a similar example in the link below (please see the definition 5)

You think "There is a mention me" is correct? Perhaps "a mention of me"?

No, I just asked why "There is a mention of me" was incorrect, of course if that is what emsr2d2 meant.

By the way, is "reference" more suitable of a word for the op's sentence.

"A mention of me" would be OK. "A reference to me" would be better, IMO.
