Your submission at Articles for creation: Nkechi Taifa (June 28)

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

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:

Ok, she looks very likely to be notable, but what are the independent, secondary sources writing about her? Almost all of this article is sourced to transcripts of court cases. What news coverage is there about her? Do her books have reviews? (Professional/academic ones, not goodreads/amazon etc.) Please have a look at WP:PRIMARY and WP:ELNO.

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.

Hello, NTDC1954! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing.

If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself!

June 2023

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions; however, it appears you may have written a Wikipedia article, or a draft for a Wikipedia article, about yourself. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – please see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Notable people who have edited Wikipedia). If you wish to add to or change an existing article about yourself, you are welcome to propose the changes by visiting the article's talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was the page I created deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss this with the deleting administrator. Thank you. asilvering (talk) 09:43, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello.

I would like you to review the article again for several reasons.

First, the article is not about me. It is about one of my law professors.

Second, Ms. Taifa is a lawyer. When it comes to the law, a court case is an official government document. It is the highest form of legal citation and ranks far higher than any secondary source. The Bluebook Legal system of citation says as much. (For example, if someone is the counsel of record - one of the lawyers on the case - it will be printed in the case.)

Third, every single citation in this article is from a journal article, a news article, a court case, or some other official document. How is it not properly sourced?

I would like you or another editor to review the document again and tell me exactly which of the citations I used does not meet the wiki standard because they are all secondary sources that meet the wiki guidelines.

Please advise. Thank you. NTDC1954 (talk) 18:56, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @NTDC1954, sorry I didn't notice this reply earlier. You need to use a ping, like Template:Ping, to be sure that other editors will see your replies.

To the first, you've certainly chosen a strange username if you aren't Nkechi Taifa, a DC lawyer! But if you insist, then the instructions you ought to follow are at WP:COI.

For the others, yes, your citations are to court cases and official documents. Please have another look at the comment I wrote four months ago (it's in the green box). I'm happy to answer any further questions you have, but please read my previous answer first. -- asilvering (talk) 07:24, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Nkechi Taifa (March 21)

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

Doesn't meet WP:GNG; the sources are indirectly or perhaps about the court case but none about her personal life and activism. If we judge per WP:NAUTHOR, her books aren't cited to reviews.

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.
