Your submission at Articles for creation: Terence Smith (footballer) (September 26)[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 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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

In accordance with WP:NSOCCER, players who have played in a competitive game between two teams from fully-professional leagues, will generally be regarded as notable. There is no cited references to show that Smith has actually played in the USL.

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.

In respect to Draft:Terence Smith (footballer) the main issue is that there needs to be cited evidence that he has actually played in a match in a professional soccer league. Just being drafted/signed to a professional club is not sufficient. If he has actually played a match I'm sure that there should be some newspaper that you can reference that establishes that. I've done a quick check of a number of sites [1], [2] and [3], none of which indicate that he has played a game for the senior team as of yet. Also Wikipedia itself is not an acceptable or reliable source and should not be used or cited as a reference. If you do find any evidence let me know and I will reassess the draft for you.
