Your submission at Articles for creation: Jonathan C. Knight (December 30)[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 Thegooduser was:

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). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

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:Jonathan C. Knight and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Jonathan C. Knight, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Still requires more news-related references.

Hi No sense of humour -- I've accepted this draft; you can find it at Jonathan C. Knight. I'm not sure why the latest version was rejected; the subject is obviously notable and the sourcing appears adequate. It could do with some more sources -- ideally all information in the biography of a living person should have an inline citation to a reliable source, but for non-contentious material (such as education) it's acceptable to use the subject's own university profile as a source.

Please feel encouraged to contribute articles on similar academics! Now that you have autoconfirmed status, you need not submit them to the Articles for Creation service. Note that all articles about living people must have reliable, independent references present from the start, and you might like to develop your articles in your own user space sandbox until you feel they are ready for publication. Cheers, Espresso Addict (talk) 19:37, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Re your message on my talk page: My pleasure! There's no direct messaging system -- it's fine just to leave thanks messages on people's talk pages, but you can also use the "thank" link in the page history if you want to be a bit more subtle. Happy editing! Espresso Addict (talk) 12:07, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
