Welcome![edit]
Hello, Timblin, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Draft:Charles "Slim" Timblin, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.
Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

Sources with user-generated content[edit]
Hello Timblin, and welcome to Wikipedia. I regret to inform you that both Ancestry.com and the IMDb are both considered unreliable sources on Wikipedia (see WP:ANCESTRY and WP:IMDB). Both are sites which consist of user-generated content. Such sites fail to meet Wikipedia's definition of a reliable source.
A reliable source is defined as a source that has an established reputation for fact-checking and editorial oversight. This heavily favours mainstream media such as major news organizations, academic press, and reputable publishers of newspapers, books and magazines. For example, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram source you used would be considered reliable.
You will need to locate additional reliable sources that provided significant coverage about this individual for him to be considered notable enough for inclusion. WP:BIO and WP:NACTOR are the two relevant notability guidelines in this regard. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 00:11, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
