Your submission at Articles for creation: Louis De La Costa (February 14)[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 CommanderWaterford were:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

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 when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Louis De La Costa 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:Louis De La Costa, 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 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.

Welcome![edit]

Hello, Louis De La Costa, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Draft:Louis De La Costa, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

Benito Martinez (actor)[edit]

I noticed your recent edits to Benito Martinez (actor). Thank you for your contributions. However, before jumping into editing an article, please refer to the tutorial on citing sources. In particular, you added a ref outside the {{reflist}} template. This should instead be implemented as a commented out list defined reference. Thank you.

thanks is hard to navigate some of the info here is incorrect much like Benito himself reference but no one corrects that! why is it? Sungodtemple

In the future, please use the colon ':' to reply to messages (this creates message threads) and sign your posts with four tildes (~~~~). As to your question, the reason why is because most editors have good intentions, but they don't cite their sources or don't follow the manual of style, leading to deteriorating articles. However, some editors know what they are doing, and they are actively trying to improve Wikipedia. If I were you, I would head over to the Wikipedia Adventure to learn how to edit Wikipedia. Thank you. Sungodtemple (talk) 18:42, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Louis De La Costa[edit]

Hello, Louis De La Costa. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Louis De La Costa".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
