Your submission at Articles for creation: Lucy Bullivant (September 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 Hoary were:

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.

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:

Let's look at one sentence: Over the last 25 years Lucy has worked internationally as a consultant providing leadership for world-class organisations and firms in the cultural industries, further education and local government. "Lucy" is very chummy; we call her "Bullivant". "Consultant" is externally linked. (Note WP:ELPOINTS: "With rare exceptions, external links should not be used in the body of an article.") Worse, the link is to her website; where's the independent referencing? What, if anything, does "world-class" mean here? I'd thought that a "consultant" advised; how does a consultant "provide leadership"?

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.

restitution of feedback box

I understand that in further editing my draft I should not have deleted the feedback box as it needs to be retained and also contains the resubmit button. I have not done this before and was short of time. I noted the comments and thought I should clear the draft before proceeding. Turns out that was an error. Please would you let me know how I may restitute them, or whether you can personally, so I can further continue to edit the article as per guidance I've been getting.

consultant and leadership

As a point of clarification, consultants come in many forms and frequently provide leadership eg Sir Norman Foster, the British architect, or specialists working for McKinsey. However I completely take your point about the required neutrality of the text to be achieved in a subsequent draft.

Preparation of the article

The article in question, which I'll edit further to the best of my ability in line with the comments provided, is not being paid for and there is no conflict of interest.

Remove all the hyperlinks. Some may be valid as references. 31.209.146.55 (talk) 22:12, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

To elaborate: external links belong in references, in content notes (which most articles don't have and don't need), in lists of "External links" (which must be short), and perhaps in one or two other places that I can't think of offhand. They don't belong in the main text. Therefore, to take one example, not She regularly gives [https://www.speakersassociates.com/speaker/lucy-bullivant keynotes] globally. but instead She regularly gives keynotes globally.<ref>[reliable, independent source here]</ref>. (Yes, a different source would be greatly preferable, as the source you give is one that advertises her services: it's not independent of her.) ¶ If there is indeed no conflict of interest, then I'm puzzled by how you were able to photograph this portrait. -- Hoary (talk) 22:58, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
