Your submission at Articles for creation: Lindsay Ridgeway (December 20)[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 SwisterTwister was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of people and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Nothing to suggest notability in our policies since the longest work she had was for Boy Meets World's 74 episodes; the closest other, 13 episodes is simply for "additional voices"; these career works are not significant enough for notability and there's no automatic inherited notability from anything or anyone else.

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:Lindsay Ridgeway and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
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.

If you're concerned about having something for your professor to grade, the current draft is sufficient for grading. If you can't find sources that demonstrate that the person meets Wikipedia's notability requirements, moving it to mainspace will probably only result in the article being deleted. Leaving in draft allows you time to work on finding sources (if they exist) and ensures that there's something to grade. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:54, 22 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Lindsay Ridgeway[edit]

Hi--I saw your note on User:Adam (Wiki Ed)'s talk page. I hope you don't mind but I made a few tweaks to your draft. I don't know exactly what our guidelines are for notability for such people; I would go by WP:GNG and try to find as many decent sources discussing her. I would think that being on a sitcom for so many seasons would be a good indication of notability, but apparently User:SwisterTwister disagrees, as does User:KylieTastic. What you could consider, besides, obviously, hunting down more sources, is asking those two editors to help you out. Good luck, Dr Aaij (talk) 16:13, 29 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
