Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (July 1)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by DoubleGrazing 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 draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs to

meet any of the eight academic-specific criteria
or cite multiple reliable, secondary sources independent of the subject, which cover the subject in some depth

Make sure your draft meets one of the criteria above before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If the subject does not meet any of the criteria, it 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 User:Emmanue!EH2/sandbox 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.

Please help me with...my first draft of article in my sandbox Claude Mariottini bio in draft sandbox was rejected. I do not understand what I need to do. Emmanue!EH2 (talk) 14:51, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Take it up with the reviewer, DoubleGrazing.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:06, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Bbb23.

Hi Emmanue!EH2,

Just to clarify, your draft wasn't rejected (which would mean it cannot be resubmitted), only declined (which means it can be, once you've addressed the reasons for the decline).

These reasons are:

The draft is completely unreferenced. Articles on living people have particularly strict referencing requirements. Every material statement, anything potentially contentious, and all private personal details must be clearly supported by inline citations to reliable published sources. So when you say "Mariottini was born in Brazil. He came to the USA in 1963." – where did you get that information from? "He is a graduate of California Baptist University, Riverside, California (B. A., 1968)" – which source backs this up? Etc.
There is also no evidence that the subject is notable, which is a core requirement for inclusion in Wikipedia. You can show notability by either the general WP:GNG guideline, which requires significant coverage in multiple secondary sources that are reliable and independent; or by the special academic one WP:NACADEMIC which has eight different criteria, one of which has to be met, and you need to provide evidence of this.

You can find advice on article creation at WP:YFA, and on referencing at WP:REFB.

If you still have questions, you can come by the AfC help desk WP:AFCHD and ask there, either myself or another reviewer will be happy to help.
