Draft:Diana Hopkinson
| Submission declined on 20 December 2023 by Cabrils (talk). 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.

Comment: Well done on creating the draft, and it may potentially meet the relevant requirements (including WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO, WP:AUTHOR) but presently it is not clear that it does. As you may know, Wikipedia's basic requirement for entry is that the subject is notable. Essentially subjects are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject. To properly create such a draft page, please see the articles ‘Your First Article’, ‘Referencing for Beginners’ and ‘Easier Referencing for Beginners’. Also, if you have any connection to the subject, including being paid, you have a conflict of interest that you must declare on your Talk page (to see instructions on how to do this please click the link). Please familiarise yourself with these pages before amending the draft. If you feel you can meet these requirements, then please make the necessary amendments before resubmitting the page. It would help our volunteer reviewers by identifying, on the draft's talk page, the WP:THREE best sources that establish notability of the subject. You may also wish to leave a note for me on my talk page and I would be happy to reassess. Cabrils (talk) 01:20, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
Diana Hopkinson, née Huback, was a 20th-cenutury British writer, known for her autobiographical work. Her most notable book, The Incense Tree,[1] while an autobiography, serves as a key work on the life of conservative anti-Nazi campaigner and conspirator Adam von Trott[2][3]. Meanwhile, her earlier work, Family Inheritance,[4] provides an insight into the life of her mother, Eva Hubback, an early advocate of birth control and eugenics in the UK.
Hopkinson grew up in England, and attended the University of Oxford. There, she became a member of the communist October Club and became the club's women's secretary, though she felt her committment to communism was a passing one.[1]
