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

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.

I would like to see the article completed. Many are getting Jacob Summerall-Summerlin confused with his son, "Jacob Summerlin - King of the Crackers." The comment above was that the references don't show significant coverage. I'm really not good at writing but I would think the Florida Territorial Papers would've been sufficient references. This man served as a representative and senator for the Florida Territorial government - before Florida became a state. Also, he's mentioned in two books.

Let me know if I have to hire a professional to submit this information. Lucy A. Folbrecht (talk) 15:38, 2 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
