I have answered you here at the Teahouse but forgot to ping you.Oldperson (talk) 22:42, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I took the liberty of looking at the article that was declined. It doesn't look good. It is what they call a stub. Not much to it I am afraid, but it can be dressed up some. I am suggesting a redo and am posting it below. If you like it you can look at it via the edit function and copy and paste it as a replacementOldperson (talk) 23:34, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nancy Manes Plum (1932-2019) was an American potter and ceramicist

Early life[edit]

Born and raised in Providence, RI, Plum attended Antioch College from 1950-54 and was introduced to ceramics by Peter Voulkos, Warren MacKenzie and Daniel Rhodes at Black Mountain College in the summer of 1953. Until 1956, Plum studied ceramics at Cranbrook Academy of Art with Marguerite Wildenhain and Takakazu Takeuchi. In 1957, she studied pottery at Mills College, CA, where she earned an MA on a teaching fellowship with Antonio Prieto as her mentor. The same year, she was awarded Fulbright fellowship which she declined and instead joined the faculty at the New Mexico Highlands University to teach ceramics and weaving.

Professional Career[edit]

In 1960, Plum went back to Michigan to join her husband, the painter Jens Plum, Professor of Art at Michigan State University. Nancy Plum taught at pottery guilds, first in Ann Arbor and then in Lansing, Michigan from the 1960s through 2018 (here is were you cite references, which are needed, use the cite icon at the top of the page when in Visual source edit see my example in the next section, I used the cite button.)

Artistic Career[edit]

Plums’s ceramics are part of permanent collections at the Detroit Institute of Arts, Mills College Gallery, The Witte Museum, and the St. Paul Gallery. Plum had both one-person as well as Regional and National Exhibitions.

Her work is reviewed in the Bulletin of the Detroit Institute of Arts, Vol. 36, no. 3 (1956-57), pp. 75-76. ^[1]^: 75–76

Your submission at Articles for creation: Nancy Manes Plum (October 25)[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 AngusWOOF were:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

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 for academics). 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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This reads like an advertising profile for the person. Please indicate how this person meets notability for artists or professors
