Your submission at Articles for creation: Teresa Connors (September 2)[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 Theroadislong 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:Teresa Connors 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:Teresa Connors, 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.

African composers moved to draftspace[edit]

An article you recently created, African composers, 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.

Hello.

Okay. Thank you User:Girth Summit.

One more question: The draft page has the following two messages near the top:

1. "This template is being used in the wrong namespace. To nominate this talk page for deletion, go to Miscellany for deletion." 2. "This article is being considered for deletion in accordance with Wikipedia's deletion policy."

Do I ignore these and continue editing?

AfC notification: Draft:African composers has a new comment[edit]

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:African composers. Thanks! Theroadislong (talk) 22:25, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Theroadislong.

Thank you for this.

The issue about creating this page is that we don't have Wikipedia pages for all of these composers and the Internet is currently a highly effective source of misinformation about African Composers.

- These composers are NOT composers of African descent - this is pointless label for an African who is, well, an African and not requiring of any additional labels - and these composers have nothing to do with skin hues because Africa is varied so no skin hue-based Wikipedia page is suitable.

A dedicated page is the only way to capture this.

This is a Catch-22 situation: the names on the page will be deleted if there are no Wikipedia links behind them AND the links that are available cannot be added because they are external. All of this contributes to the misinformation.

Can you advise on how Wikipedia deals with situations like this - or are all submissions only from those who have Wikipedia pages?

Thanks.

Concern regarding Draft:African composers[edit]

Hello, W3d3PD. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:African composers, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Draft space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for article space.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion under CSD G13. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it. You may request userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available here.
