Your submission at Articles for creation: Larry Williams (basketball) (April 6)[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 Dan arndt 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 for sports persons and athletes). 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:

Larry Williams Reply[edit]

The article needs to conform with the requirements of WP:NBASKETBALL, which are:

Basketball playeres are presumed notable if they

Have appeared in one game as either a player or head coach in the original American Basketball Association, Liga ACB, EuroLeague, National Basketball Association, National Basketball League (Australia), National Basketball League (United States), Lega Basket Serie A, Women's National Basketball Association, Greek Basket League, or Israeli Basketball Premier League.
Were selected in the first two rounds of the NBA draft.
Have won an award, or led the league in a major statistical category, of the Continental Basketball Association or NBA G League.

His high school and college performances don't provide any reason for notability. Neither does his appearances playing in Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Australia, Morocco, Tunisia, Qatari or France. (Australia and France he only played in third tier competitions). Links to playing stats are not considered significant coverage. At this stage I don't see anything that justifies his notability - sorry. Dan arndt (talk) 03:52, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Larry Williams (basketball) (August 29)[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 Robert McClenon 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 for sports persons and athletes). 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 draft has been resubmitted without any visible improvement, or with very little improvement. If you do not know what is needed to improve this draft, please ask for advice rather than making minor improvements and resubmitting.

You may ask for advice on how to improve this draft at the Teahouse or on the talk pages of any of the declining reviewers. (The declining reviewers may advise you to ask for advice at the Teahouse.)

If this draft is resubmitted without any improvement or with very little improvement again, it is likely to be rejected, and it may be nominated for deletion, or a topic-ban may even be requested against further submission by the responsible editor.

This draft does not appear to indicate that one of the sports notability criteria is satisfied. If one of the criteria is satisfied, please revise this draft appropriately, with a reliable source, if necessary stating on the talk page which criterion is met, and resubmit. It is the responsibility of the submitter to show that a sportsperson or other subject satisfies a notability criterion.

You may ask for advice about the sports notability criteria (or other notability criteria) at the Teahouse.

In particular, see and refer to WP:NBASKETBALL for notability.

The subject does not appear to have played at a level that satisfies basketball notability. If this draft is resubmitted, please indicate how notability is satisfied. If this draft is resubmitted without indicating how notability is satisfied, it will be Rejected.

This draft has been declined because of notability concerns. This draft should be resubmitted by addressing the notability concerns in AFC comments or on the talk page of the draft. Do not resubmit this draft without explaining how it satisfies a notability criterion. Do not simply add references, or make minor changes, without explaining how it satisfies a notability criterion.

You may ask for advice about the notability criteria at the Teahouse.

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.
