Your submission at Articles for creation: News Literacy Project (June 17)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Scope creep was:

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.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

Looks too much like an advert, particularly towards the end. Trim it back and more encyclopaedic and give me a shout. Remove the non-notable leadership names.

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.

Hi, Devonian Wombat —

I've made a number of revisions to this page that I hope will pass muster. If you have specific thoughts on how I could improve this, I'd be grateful for them. Thanks.

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Anita Miller (urbanist). Thanks! Nomadicghumakkad (talk) 16:06, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm astounded by the quick review — I wasn't expecting anything for at least a month, if not longer! I have added sourcing for Ms. Miller's early life, and am checking reports, interviews, etc. for anything that might make it a little less CV-like. If you have anything thoughts on how to do this, I'd be grateful.

Hi, scope creep!

I've removed those links.

Bluepencil13 (talk) 18:06, 27 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In addition to removing those links (as noted in March), I have added new material that supports Anita Miller's position as a noteworthy figure in the field of urban revitalization (and makes it read less résumé-like). Bluepencil13 (talk) 20:15, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Amy S. Mitchell (August 22)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Cabrils was:

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:

Well done on creating the draft, and it may potentially meet the relevant requirements (including WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO) but presently it is not clear that it does.

As you may know, Wikipedia's basic requirement for entry is that the subject is notable. Essentially subjects are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject. To properly create such a draft page, please see the articles ‘Your First Article’, ‘Referencing for Beginners’ and ‘Easier Referencing for Beginners’. In short, "notability" requires reliable sources about the subject, rather than by the subject. Please note that some of the references would appear to be from sources that are NOT considered reliable for establishing notability and should be removed (including blogs, company websites, press releases, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, Spotify etc). Additionally, the draft tends to read too much like a promotional CV, which Wikipedia is not; and contains prose that is not of a standard appropriate for an encyclopaedia (also see WP:PEACOCK). The draft does not appear to show that the subject has any notability beyond the average coverage in trade publications for similar executives (see WP:ROTM). Also, if you have any connection to the subject, including being the subject (see WP:AUTOBIO) or being paid, you have a conflict of interest that you must declare on your Talk page (to see instructions on how to do this please click the link). Please familiarise yourself with these pages before amending the draft. If you feel you can meet these requirements, then please make the necessary amendments before resubmitting the page. It would help our volunteer reviewers by identifying, on the draft's talk page, the WP:THREE best sources that establish notability of the subject. It would also be helpful if you could please identify with specificity, exactly which criteria you believe the page meets (eg "I think the page now meets WP:ANYBIO criteria #3, because XXXXX").

Once you have implemented these suggestions, you may also wish to leave a note for me on my talk page, including the name of the draft page, and I would be happy to reassess.

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.
