Your submission at Articles for creation: Dean Byrne (Musician & Filmmaker) (January 13)

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

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.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Dean Byrne (Musician & Filmmaker) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 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.

Hello, Deanjbyrne28! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. 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! See you there! Theroadislong (talk) 14:57, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Hi, thank you for the information and the welcome. I wasn't aware of how discouraged this was, and was under the impression that I may disclose this as a conflict of interest to be taken note of in the review of the page. Everything noted is referenced and I would be happy to edit anything that is deemed unsuitable.

Thanks again Filmshack (talk) 17:53, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In 17 years of editing here I can't recall very many successful autobiographys here, creating an article from scratch is the hardest task on Wikipedia, creating an autobiography is 10 x harder. Also see Wikipedia:An article about yourself isn't necessarily a good thing. Theroadislong (talk) 18:17, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the information. In any case, I hope someday I will get something across the line, but in the meantime I am enjoying the editing section of wikipedia. I never thought of doing it but it will be great to contribute to such a fantastic resource. Filmshack (talk) 19:23, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
