Stop removing postnominals from articles[edit]

Please stop removing postnominals from articles without consensus. Softlavender (talk) 23:32, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Softlavender (talk) 23:57, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Reminder to stop removing postnominals from articles[edit]

You were previous warned to stop removing FRSA postnominals unless consensus was achieved at Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Biography. However, clear consensus at that discussion has not been achieved, so you should still not be removing the postnominals.--SouthernNights (talk) 12:42, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Lathallan School moved to draftspace[edit]

An article you recently created, Lathallan School, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Lathallan School (October 4)[edit]

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

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 organizations and companies). 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.

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.

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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Lathallan School and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Draft:Lathallan School[edit]

I've added content and reliable secondary sources — please review and resubmit when you are satisfied with these revisions. — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 11:19, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You've improved the article a lot; however, an editor recently added a comment to the article stating that they believe it still not to be notable. I've replied underneath their comment.

Do I need to submit the article for review or can any editor do it? Historylikeyou (talk) 07:49, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Notability in Wikipedia terms relies on what has been written in reliable, independent, secondary sources. If you can find any additional sources that provide descriptions of the school and its history, that's what it will take to meet the notability guidelines. There's a helpful essay at WP:THREE that explains the minimum most editors look for to determine whther an article passes notability. I'll prune some of the text to respond to the comments about potential copyvio and promotional links, but since you initiated it, out of respect, I think it's yours to submit. — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 08:17, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Update: So I found a number of sources using the WikiPedia Library, built a Curriculum section, and added to the Awards section and the Old Lathallians. I also found sources to build an Athletics section, where the conventional requirement is a championship in a given sport, and Lathallan has rugby and netball championships. Unfortunately, my internet connection today is skitterish and unreliable, and I'm frustrated enough to consider finding a ballpeen hammer to deal with it. Or, just wait until tomorrow to try again. — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 23:30, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
