[edit]

Hello, thank you for reviewing my draft article Draft:Mandy Yin. I do not understand the grounds on which it has been declined: "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)."

I believe the subject is notable as she has received significant coverage from independent sources as can be seen from the list of references.

I have made an enormous effort to use as many citations as possible to published, reliable, secondary sources (e.g. the BBC and Guardian) to verify the points in the article. If there are references which could be considered 'passing' it's where the subject is mentioned in a list of similar subjects (e.g. "Yin was named by The Evening Standard Magazine as one of the top tastemakers in the London food scene in June 2017.") which is unavoidable.

I also looked at published articles on similar subjects on Wikipedia to ensure I had a template to mirror and the one I've put together exceeds in solid references compared to some of them.

Please could you help by explaining more in detail the references which are not good enough by Wikipedia's standards? Charcot Cinq (talk) 02:31, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
