Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Justlettersandnumbers 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.
The comment the reviewer left was:
This page reads more like somebody's press handout than an encyclopaedia article. Her own book is not an independent reliable source. Everything about what she "advocates", thinks or believes can simply be removed – all that's of encyclopaedic interest is what she's actually achieved, and I'm having trouble seeing what that might be. Are there reviews of her book in solid peer-reviewed academic journals, for example?
You claim to have taken this photograph, which suggests that you have a close connection to Ms. Barber, but I don't see where you have disclosed that connection. Please read, and act on, WP:COI.
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:Aja Barber and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.

Hi, I see you've just left a link regarding COI – Is there anything else? I have already declared the conflict of interest on the draft page's talk page as previously instructed to do so. Have I missed something? Cheers Stemaxc (talk) 08:45, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You should declare it on your user page as well(User:Stemaxc). If you are compensated in any manner for your connection, the Terms of Use require you to make the stricter paid editing disclosure. 331dot (talk) 09:06, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The comment the reviewer left was:
Interviews do not establish notability(they can be used for other purposes, but not that). We don't want to know what she says about herself, we want to know what others wholly unconnected with her choose on their own to say about her. This draft largely only summarizes her activites, and not why she is important or significant according to independent reliable sources.
