Your submission at Articles for creation: Cyan Banister (November 8)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Frayae 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). 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 when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Cyan Banister and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Cyan Banister, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Words of encouragement

Hi 1Mynamegoeshere1,

Just wanted to offer some encouragement and advice on how to improve the Draft:Cyan Banister article. It's not unusual for articles to be denied on first submission, because Wikipedia's notability requirements depend on reliable secondary sources. So even though interviews with the subject and presentations by the subject of the article provide information, interviews and presentations such as Banister's TechCrunch Disrupt speech are considered primary sources, relying on what the subject says. The reason for the requirement of secondary sources is that Wikipedia has no editorial board directing fact-checking operations, so we rely on publications that have reputable fact-checking methods.

So the task at hand is to find articles about Banister that have been independently fact-checked. I'll keep looking, too.

One more thing: draft articles that have not been edited for 6 months are deleted, so until more articles about Cyan Banister have been written, the draft needs to be updated regularly. I can help with that, and if you find more reliable secondary sources, be sure to add those to the article. Chin up! — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 20:06, 8 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
