Your submission at Articles for creation: Adin Dobkin (November 2)

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

The comment the reviewer left was:

Exact same comment as from Theroadislong- Wikipedia cannot be used as a citation. This person also still doesn't meet significant coverage.

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.

Liance

I just don't seem to understand. I have a number of reliable sources, which are verifiable. I have in line citations with footnotes. Ugh. Frustrating as I have asked several others for help on this and they have the same frustration. Thompkin1961 (talk) 19:23, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Thompkin1961 - as I explained in the decline criteria Wikipedia has very strict requirements for biographies of living persons, where facts are required to be backed up with a reliable source. In your draft the entire "Early Life" section has only 1 source and it is a self-published source, not a reliable one. You need to find sources to back up the facts that you state otherwise they are not suitable for inclusion. Hope this helps. ~Liance^talk 20:27, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Liance. Will work on it. Thompkin1961 (talk) 12:34, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Adin Dobkin (June 13)

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

The comment the reviewer left was:

Assessing in relation to WP:AUTHOR - Dobkin does not appear to be "regarded as an important figure or widely cited by peers or successors"; has not "originated a significant new concept, theory, or technique"; and has not "created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work". His first (so far, only) book did receive some positive reviews, but arguably not "significant". The list of external links may contain significant coverage but some appear to be interviews (and so may not be reliable sources per WP:IV).

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 Draft:Adin Dobkin and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

I have tried on several occasions to continue editing but am stymied by rules on relatives/acquaintances submissions. This is despite others who have done the same. 76.21.2.68 (talk) 16:32, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
