Your submission at Articles for creation: Gideon Bernstein (January 7)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by SwisterTwister was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of people and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), 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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Still nothing to satisfy our standards as what's here isn't significant enough.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Gideon Bernstein and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may request an unblock by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Request reason:

I do not understand. Everything I have put on Draft:Gideon Bernstein has been factual and I have cited all the sources I have found information from. Although the 'Cult of Bernstein' may seem bizarre, the books I have sourced have clearly stated that it exists. I think this block is completely unfair, please reconsider.

Decline reason:

Apart from one which doesn't even mention him, there are no checkable online sources in that draft. And I can find nothing about him via a Google search. And Huon has checked some of the alleged sources at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Draft:Gideon Bernstein, and they're faked. This is a blatant hoax.

Request reason:

Thank you for the speedy response but I am confused. On the miscellany for deletion page, it gives a link to the book that does not have a copy of the book on it, just a description. Bernstein will not be mentioned in a description of a book like that because he is mentioned in it but he is not the only philosopher mentioned, just a part of it and so why would he be part of the description. I think the outright dismissal of Bernstein is unfounded as he is mentioned in the references.

Decline reason:

Hooey. I wrote one of these about myself when I was in sixth grade. I wish I still had it. Regardless, we don't get to make up stories and put them in Wikipedia. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆 𝄐𝄇} 16:55, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Huon presumably checked the book itself, and I have now checked the book itself, and it makes no mention of any Gideon Bernstein or Giddy-Widdle. There is also no mention of any Gideon Bernstein in any Philosophy texts (or any books at all) that I can find. I have revoked your ability to edit this talk page in order to stop this waste of time.
