Your submission at Articles for creation: William Gannon (artist) (November 2)[edit]

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

Hello Readerofthepack. Thanks for reviewing my piece on Gannon. The problem with Gannon is that we can not say the one thing that is really interesting about him which is that he is probably one of the Banksy group and has a rich (but secret) artistic life behind him. Given the limited amount we can say about him your points are all very fair and reasonable. I need to gather more evidence to reveal what it is that makes Gannon notable. I will keep on digging and when I have more to add to the piece I will submit it again. Thanks for your help. John Dr John Mellor (talk) 22:19, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Just had a thought, would any of this information be suitable for adding to the existing Banksy Wiki page? Dr John Mellor (talk) 22:20, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Its OK. Just checked and those two entries have already been done by someone else. Dr John Mellor (talk) 23:49, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
