Pincher Creek[edit]

Hello. Your recent edit to Pincher Creek appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 21:36, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the tips. I have read over some of the introduction to editing material but will definitely now do the Wikipedia Adventure. I don't know that I am confident enough to write a page for Ruth Collins-Nakai. However, I think she definitely qualifies as a notable person and I feel women are going to be less likely to have pre-existing articles so this requirement of Wikipedia would unfairly discriminate against women. Ruth Collins-Nakai was the first female president of the Canadian Medical Association, she initiated the Heritage Pediatric Program at the University of Alberta. Moreover, she was President of the Alberta Medical Association (first woman), Chair of the Board of Governors of the American College of Cardiology (first woman and first Canadian), the President of the Canadian Cardiovascular Society (first woman), and most recently as the President of the InterAmerican Society of Cardiology (first woman). 75.156.36.113 (talk) 22:00, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Have a look at WP:BIO. If you think she meets the criteria then an article would be beneficial. I actually went looking for a biography about her in a secondary source and found nothing. If you need help let me know. Cheers. Magnolia677 (talk) 23:12, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Here are a couple of biographical sources: [1][2]. My feeling is she would likely pass notability. Very accomplished person. Magnolia677 (talk) 23:19, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I'm going to try to reach out to her and see if she would be willing to collaborate on a bio. Thanks for the encouragement! 2001:569:F950:D400:38F7:EA5D:55DC:4163 (talk) 00:42, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That is not permitted per WP:COI. Magnolia677 (talk) 08:40, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

oh ok. I will read up on the WP:COI. I feel it would be courteous to try and let her know I would like to do this. 75.156.36.113 (talk) 13:55, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: David A Mackey (May 21)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by RPSkokie were:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

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 and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

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.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:David A Mackey and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:David A Mackey, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Reads like a CV, so needs a bit of rewriting be more neutral. Definitely notable but may be good to have a few more sources added for bits which are unsourced.
