Martin Zeileis moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Martin Zeileis, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs 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.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Martin Zeileis (February 28)

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

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.

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:

There are no specific notability criteria for sailors (that I'm aware of at least), hence it's difficult to say whether the achievements listed* are enough to make this person inherently notable. General notability per WP:GNG is certainly not established by the mostly primary sources (and one secondary source, with only a passing mention) cited.

• The achievements shown in the medal record table do not appear to be supported by any of the sources, and are not referenced through footnote citations, therefore I cannot verify them. The same goes for the personal details such as DOB, which directly contravenes the BLP rules (see eg. WP:DOB). Please ensure that all material statements are supported by reference to reliable sources.

Proposed deletion of Patrick Wichmann

The article Patrick Wichmann has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

WP:SPORTCRIT: No sources in the article are independent, searches yield no independent significant coverage.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
