Your submission at Articles for creation: Alain Labrique (January 17)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Ldm1954 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 reads more like an essay than an encyclopedia article. Submissions should summarise information in secondary, reliable sources and not contain opinions or original research. Please write about the topic from a neutral point of view in an encyclopedic manner.

The comment the reviewer left was:

I am OK with him as passing the notability bar. However, there are a lot of problems with this page and it needs a major rewrite:

1. It is currently more like an essay or CV, we don't want that. For certain it contains information such as his mothers illness which do not belong. Cut, cut, cut. 2. Reduce the publications to 10 at most (maybe 5) 3. Remove the newspaper articles, those are not refereed sources 4. No awards?

5. Ensure that you have no "bragging" (WP:PEACOCK) terms such as "figure at the forefront". We want dry statments of fact.

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.
