I wish to draw to your attention that published sources other than the passport office records, correspondence, and private notes, were also referenced. The passport office records can be verified and are considered to be public records. Also, the correspondence and private notes appear in the published sources also referenced in each case. The documentation where possible was listed as to the public archives where these non-published sources can be checked. As such this criticism that there is inadequate sourcing is entirely correct. I understand and agree with concerns about not being able to review the references, but this is clearly not the case here. If you wish to suggest the removal of the non-published items, I certainly would do so, as the published sources carry references to these items.

Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, TechnocratToronto. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Draft:Solomon Trone, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:01, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Solomon Trone (October 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 DoubleGrazing was:

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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

The draft cites far too many sources which are clearly not publications, eg. passport office records, correspondence, private notes, etc. Please ensure that such sources are removed, and that the draft is properly supported by independent and reliable secondary sources, at least a few of which should provide significant coverage of the subject in order to establish notability per WP:GNG.

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:Solomon Trone 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.
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.
