Bill Chuck moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Bill Chuck, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Robert,

Thank you for taking the time to review this entry. If you could give me just a couple of examples of where citations might help this, I will take it from there (removing items when appropriate)

Bill Walkoffs (talk) 15:45, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am Bill Chuck. I'm an author of two books and a columnist in the Chicago Sun-Times. I have worked with a number of the top baseball writers in the US and have been published on numerous websites and in many newspapers and magazines. I've been a television personality and an award-winning scriptwriter. I am trying to get this up in the next week or so, prior to the publication of my newest book.

Please, please assist me in getting this onto Wikipedia so that I don't have to concentrate my time on this. Your help is greatly appreciated. Walkoffs (talk) 16:19, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Bill Chuck (April 2)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Rusalkii were:

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.

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:

I am not seeing a source for almost any of the biographical details.

Thank you for that feedback. Can you give me an example of the biographical detail that is lacking to serve as an example for me? I'm sorry to bother you with this, but my new book with Bob Ryan will be out shortly and we media members clamoring for a wiki. Again, I thank you in advance.

COI check for Bill Chuck

Hello. Do you have any association with Mr Chuck? Most of your edits seem to be related to him. Regards, MrsSnoozyTurtle 07:30, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please refer to WP:COI and WP:PROMO. Regards, MrsSnoozyTurtle 00:18, 10 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You are very kind to explain to me the issue. However, I must respectfully comment that I have readers of the Sun-Times asking about my background after unsuccessfully searching for me on Wikipedia. The same is true for my media colleagues. I am a well-known entity in many professional circles and the fact that I am still producing and actively working should not be construed as promotional as opposed to encyclopedic worthy.

I find your comments of great value and I will happily make any edits to my description that enable me to avoid answering every query from readers, media members, and colleagues about my background on an individual basis.

Again I thank you for your time and patience, Walkoffs (talk) 13:29, 10 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The comment the reviewer left was:

Far too much of the content is unreferenced. Every material statement must be supported by reference to a reliable source. This includes private personal details such as DOB, and any statement that could be contentious (see WP:BLP for advice on referencing articles on living people). Currently there are entire sections without a single reference! --

Your draft article, Draft:Bill Chuck

Hello, Walkoffs. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Bill Chuck".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 17:35, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Walkoffs,

I noticed that you recreated this article after it was deleted today. Drafts that have been deleted simply for not being edited in at least six months can be restored upon request. So, if you would like the history of this draft restored, I can easily take care of that for you if you have content that you'd like to access for your new version of the article. If you would prefer to "start fresh" then we can leave it all deleted. But let me know if you'd like the entire history of this draft article restored. Good luck! Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 20:05, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Liz, that is very kind of you. I'm so frustrated in attempting to get this bio listed that I thought I would start from scratch. This has proven to be an awful experience. You are the first person to show this kind of kindness. If I could just create a version that is published, I would have peace of mind. Walkoffs (talk) 17:21, 15 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Liz - after giving it some thought, I have a number of links that would be valuable in that draft. Could you please restore it for me?

Thank you again for your kindness Walkoffs (talk) 21:49, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
