Your submission at Articles for creation: Tonye Irims (July 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 Alpha3031 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.

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

Thank you for your feedback @DGG. However, if you kindly take a careful look at the references of the article, you will see that none of them are (just passing mentions). The references are detailed articles from reliable secondary sources that are absolutely independent of the subject.

However, considering your years of experience, it would be great if out of the kindness of your heart, you could help me attach these references accordingly and structure the article in a more encyclopedic manner.

In total, I have provided 15 independent references from highly recognized sources. GiantjohnO (talk) 02:07, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It is unfortunate that the standard notices tend to be overgeneral and not meet the case exactly; I apologize for not providing a fuller custom notice and explanation.

More exactly, the more extensive references are `the sort of promotional interview where the subject is allowed to say whatever they please. These are not really independent. It's promotionalism , and a great deal of business journalism in all countries makes use of it. It serves its purpose, of permitting people in business to advertise themselves, but it is not reliable or independent from the standpoint of an encyclopedia. In the early years of WP we tended not to notice such things, and many early articles are sources only with material of this nature. But now we do. It will be a long time before we can get to the half million that need review, but at the least, we do not add to them. The first of your additional suggested references is another example; last, tubtutorial, is a particularly clear example of advertising masquerading as journalism. DGG ( talk ) 10:04, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your response. I can sense your willingness to help me, and I truly appreciate it. I took what you said into consideration and I have decided to remove references 1, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, and include https://theexclusiveafrica.net/2022/03/23/tonye-irims-wisolar-is-creating-1000-solar-engineers/

I am willing to learn from your wealth of knowledge concerning this. Your effort in guiding me through the necessary steps to get this article accepted is truly appreciated. GiantjohnO (talk) 20:19, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
