WP:COPYARTICLE, original draft of Scott Jenkins (runner)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Scott Jenkins (Ultra Runner and Endurance Athlete) (October 21)

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

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.

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.

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:Scott Jenkins (Ultra Runner and Endurance Athlete) 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:Scott Jenkins (Ultra Runner and Endurance Athlete), click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Scott Jenkins (Ultra Runner and Endurance Athlete) (November 2)

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

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Overly promotional biography: WP:IBA, WP:PEACOCK, WP:COI. Focus on athletic stats, not promotional PR.

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.

Help please

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

Hi, I have used reliable 3rd party sources through a number of media outlets so I’m unsure what else I should do? Also, it is a biography so I’m unsure what I need to change to make it appear less promotional as like many sporting biographies, it will list their sports career highlights. Any advice would be appreciated please. It is not designed to promote the person but to be a biography. This is my first time doing a wiki page. Thanks Abby Abbyfleming1983 (talk) 07:00, 2 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft was most recently declined for being too promotional, and I can see why - in the first paragraph alone you have phrases like His ... career has flourished as a result of his strong mental attitude (emphasis mine), and later on Scott ... was lucky enough to compete.... A Wikipedia article needs to be written from a neutral point of view, with as little editorializing as possible. If he competed in something, say so (not that he's "lucky" to do so). His mental attitude is largely irrelevant. I would also suggest removing some of his achievements unless they're significant, by which I mean he was first place or did something no one else had done. For example, the entry for Autumn 100 in sub 22 hours in 2020 - it doesn't even look like he cracked the top 20 as far as times go. It might have been a personal achievement, but it's not something for which he is notable. If you want more help, change the {{help me-helped}} back into a {{help me}}, stop by the Teahouse, or Wikipedia's live help channel, or the help desk to ask someone for assistance.

Scott Jenkins draft

User:Abishe had created Rhys Jenkins (runner) before, so you can ask him to create a new article about Scott Jenkins for you. Good luck! — Sagotreespirit (^talk) 02:00, 8 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Scott Jenkins (runner)

Hello, Abbyfleming1983. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Scott Jenkins".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Your contributed article, The Moab 240

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, The Moab 240. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Moab 240. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Moab 240. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Hqb (talk) 14:01, 30 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Abbyfleming1983,

There are millions of existing categories on Wikipedia that exist in a category hierarchy. Please do not make up new ones but use existing categories that are appropriate to the subject of the article. You can tell that they are nonexistent categories because they will show up as red links. According to policy (WP:REDNO), red links must be removed. If you are having trouble finding the appropriate categories for an article, you can always ask for help at the Teahouse which is a friendly place for new editors to bring their questions. Thank you.
