Your submission at Articles for creation: William Elias Conway III (September 12)[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 Clarityfiend 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 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:

The sources are mostly just routine coverage of his unsuccessful campaign. That's far from enough.

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:William Elias Conway III and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Camp 18 (January 24)[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 BuySomeApples was:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. 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.

Hi @Saul McGill. The bot left this on my Talk since I moved the prior draft and am therefore "creator". Wanted to be sure you were aware that it was expiring in case you want to work on it. (@Firefly sorry if this pinged the bot, wasn't sure how else best to move it}

Your submission at Articles for creation: Gongofer (February 15)[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 MaxnaCarta 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 films). 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:

Hi there. Improvement on this is noted, but I cannot see just yet if this meets WP:NFILM. Can you please drop your three best sources demonstrating notability of this film onto the talk page and then tag me so I can take a look? The First book source is only a passing mention. Second is trivial and does not appear significant coverage. Third is evidence of an award, but I cant see if this award is "major" (I translated from russian, but not being familiar with russian film awards, I need some explanation on that. Fourth and fifth don't seem to be significant coverage either.

I really recommend reaching out for help on the talk page as quite a few of your submissions have been declined. I do not want to see you disheartened but generally a film that does not have at least 2-3 solid paragraphs in a national newspaper or two often won't have the significant coverage elsewhere to warrant inclusion on the project. You do not need to present that in order for someone to accept the submission, and if you submit again another editor may accept.

However the more significant coverage you provide, particularly in well-known media or that which is easily identified as reliable (such as a large media outlet or newspaper) the easier time you will have getting this over the line. Cheers

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:

This draft, as written, does not appear to indicate that one of the biographical notability criteria is satisfied. If one of the criteria is satisfied, please revise this draft appropriately, with a reliable source, if necessary stating on the talk page or in AFC comments which criterion is met, and resubmit. It is the responsibility of the submitter to show that a subject satisfies a notability criterion.

You may ask for advice about the biographical notability criteria at the Teahouse.

In particular, see and refer to WP:GNG for notability, which is the guideline that the subject should be evaluated against.

This draft states what the subject says about herself. General notability is based on what reliable sources have written about her.

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.
