See WP:REFB for help with references and WP:NTV to see what it takes to establish WP:Notability for television series.

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

The comment the reviewer left was:

I have reformatted your references correctly so that they may be placed inline around supporting material. Note that each of these are not independent and therefore do not establish notability. So for future references, follow the instructions at WP:REFB so that they will be formatted similarly. Further, the article must be written in descriptive encyclopedic prose and not promotional in nature.

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.

Draft:Canal Boat Diaries[edit]

Hi BellotaUK, I have correct the links and references you have presently in the draft article and formatted them properly. To do this yourself, you can follow the instructions at Help:Referencing for beginners. The references you presently have are interviews and therefore not WP:Independent. Further, you've used sources such as The Mirror which are not great at establishing WP:Notability, see WP:DAILYMIRROR. For specific guidance on what generally demonstrates notability of television series, see WP:NTV.

In addition, some of the prose and writing on the article is not description or neutral in its point of view. You might consider the advice at Help:Your first article. I would suggest reading other articles about TV series to see what kind of language is used on the project for similar articles.

If you have any further questions, feel free to ask me here, making sure to start your reply with {{ping|MicrobiologyMarcus}} so that I will be notified of your response. Cheers, microbiologyMarcus ^{[petri dish·growths]} 14:49, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The comment the reviewer left was:

Resubmitting without improvement is disruptive. The Guardian article might have enough independent content to pass but the other two are interviews/what Cumming's says which are primary sources and not independent so cannot be used to establish notability.

Hi what more do I need to get CANAL BOAT DIARIES onto Wikipedia? Are local newspaper reviews/reports about the series acceptable? Thanks BellotaUK (talk) 15:27, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
