Your submission at Articles for creation: Brian Seeger (March 4)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by WikiDan61 was:

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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

As a named chair at the University of New Orleans, Seeger meets the criteria for inclusion, but the exhaustive list of performance credits is just promotional and really serves no encyclopedic purpose.

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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Better than last time--but this does not read like the biography of a person; it's really just a few highlights from someone's resume. It also needs proper formatting, in line with our conventions. And get rid of discogs--it doesn't help. We need secondary sources, particularly also for his academic career.

Okay. I'll dig deeper for sources that will work. I deleted some of the bio stuff, worrying it was too promotional since it is mostly about this person's career as a performer. I will expand on the academic side of his biography. May I use his personal website as a source for that? I'll keep trying. I am learning a lot. Beingherenow2 (talk) 21:53, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please help me with... Brian Seeger I need guidance on why there has been no action on my draft of this article. I have done research on other similar articles and modeled my draft on those to make sure I would be in compliance. Is there a person I can call to talk to about this particular article? Beingherenow2 (talk) 18:14, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You may wish to ask at the articles-for-creation help desk. You may not use the {{help}} template to expedite a review.

I'm afraid using other existing articles as models is often unhelpful; many are not necessarily good examples of what is or is not in compliance, nor does their existence indicate that they have been reviewed and found to be "in compliance".

The most recent submit was just a few days ago and the AFC backlog is (admittedly this is terrible) as much as 3 months. One suggestion I have is to aim for academic notability - for more about this see WP:NACADEMICS - but you'll still need to find some coverage that helps substantiate that notability claim. More third party sources that represent independent reporting about him is always helpful. Citing his own website is usually not helpful, but allowances are sometimes made for academics. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 18:50, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
