Your submission at Articles for creation: Bronwyn Law-Viljoen (August 3)[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:

All material statements must be supported by a verifiable source. For example, where does the date of birth come from? Only a year of birth should be included unless the full DOB has been widely publicised; here not a single public source is cited to support that. Similarly, where are the educational details from? Or the Fulbright scholarship claim? (Note, I'm not saying any of those are incorrect or untrue, only that they are not supported by referencing, meaning that as things stand, this fails either WP:BLP sourcing requirements or WP:NOR.)

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:Bronwyn Law-Viljoen 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:Bronwyn Law-Viljoen, 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.

Bronwyn Law-Viljoen[edit]

Hi! I wanted you to know that another editor (Silver seren) made some improvements to Bronwyn Law-Viljoen's biography, the article you drafted, and now, the article is "live". Thank you for starting the biography! If you're considering creating any others (I hope so), and if you have questions, or encounter setbacks, please feel free to comment about it at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Women in Red. We have more than 500 pagewatchers of that talkpage who are ready, willing, and able to address issues related to articles within our scope (new articles regarding women's representation -- their biographies, their works, their issues). See you around!

DYK for Bronwyn Law-Viljoen[edit]

On 17 August 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Bronwyn Law-Viljoen, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that professor Bronwyn Law-Viljoen became editor-in-chief of a publishing company, co-founded her own independent publishing company, and founded her own bookstore in South Africa? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Bronwyn Law-Viljoen. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Bronwyn Law-Viljoen), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
