Your submission at Articles for creation: Paul Seligman (November 15)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by EF5 was:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs to

meet any of the eight academic-specific criteria
or cite multiple reliable, secondary sources independent of the subject, which cover the subject in some depth

Make sure your draft meets one of the criteria above before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If the subject does not meet any of the criteria, it is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Please add citations to reliable sources (a list can be found here) to show that the topic meets our general notability guidelines, or our guideline on the notability of professors.

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:Paul Seligman and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Reply to question

Hello. Notability is tricky. It looks like you got some good advice at the Teahouse. If you're having trouble accessing a resource or source, you could ask at WP:Resource request and editors will help you out with getting access. Basically, your draft is ready to publish when you are convinced it is well-written and meets the notability standard - in this case, probably either WP:GNG or WP:NACADEMIC. There's no specific amount of sources required, but a good rule of thumb is 3-4 secondary, reliable sources that cover Seligman or his work in depth (i.e. more than a mere mention). I'm happy to answer further questions - and welcome to Wikipedia! —Ganesha811 (talk) 15:18, 17 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
