Are you just one person?[edit]

I'm asking because your username implies you may either be more than one person, or you may have created this account to "represent" an organization. I hope I'm wrong. If I'm wrong, just say so and I will apologize.

Please read Wikipedia:Username policy. If I'm right, please either change your username or abandon this one and create another. Changing your username is better if only one person has ever used this account. If more than one person has ever used it, it's better to abandon this one entirely and have each person create their own account using a name that complies with the policy.

If you do replace this account with one or more other accounts, please post a link on the user page to the new account or accounts, then contact an admin and ask them to block this account from editing, just so there won't be any misunderstandings later.

Again, I hope I'm wrong, I hope you are one individual and that you are not representing or editing on behalf of any organization, company, group, or anyone else other than yourself. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 18:05, 9 December 2020 (UTC) Disregard, I see now that the "shepherds" refers to dogs. I apologize for jumping to conclusions. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 18:07, 9 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Rutherford English Shepherd (May 10)[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 Timtrent 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 organizations and companies). 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:

Almost all the references lead back to a prolific single breeder. Thus they are not independent
