Your submission at Articles for creation: IMA John Blake University Teaching Medal (August 17)

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

The comment the reviewer left was:

You haven't made a claim of notability, and there's only one independent reference. The link to the person after whom the award was named is red, and I can't find an article about him so it doesn't seem that even he has met the notability criteria for inclusion; if he hasn't, it seems unlikely that an award named after him would.

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.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:IMA John Blake University Teaching Medal and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion.

If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

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.

I find that often I am interested in some subject in the UK maths community that I find is not covered on Wikipedia, and from time to time I think I can improve this situation by helping to write. However, the experience of spending hours researching a subject and just getting a straight no is extremely disheartening.

Here, I thought this pair (Rowlett and Steckles) were a good choice because they are well-known mathematics communicators writing a regular column in New Scientist and people might want to know more about them, and compared to other people in the UK maths community who I see do have Wikipedia articles they are more high profile. Further, this person has held high profile positions in the Institute of Mathematics and the Quality Assurance Agency and elsewhere, which again are likely to generate interest in knowing about them. I researched this person using independent sources, cited three different British newspapers and four different independent in-depth interviews. You cite the academic-specific criteria, but I don't argue for this person on the basis of their academic research, but on their profile in the UK maths community and associated communication work, so I don't think the right criteria are being used.

I don't understand how Wikipedia is going to get better at providing knowledge on the UK maths community. Maths11 (talk) 07:19, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue).

Your Talk page

Writing content on your own Talk page will not be seen by anyone (including the reviewer who Declined your draft) unless you 'ping' that person to get their attention. Your alternatives are to make an entry on their Talk page, or else on the Talk page of the article with a 'ping'. David notMD (talk) 17:21, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
