Your submission at Articles for creation: Paul Turner (December 27)

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

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.

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Fail to meet WP:GNG / WP:ANYBIO criteria (WP:DIPLOMAT).

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:Paul Turner 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.
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.

Hello, Turner.paulrobert. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Draft:Paul Turner, you may have a conflict of interest (COI).

We ask that you:

propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template), including links or details of reliable sources that support your suggestions;
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);

do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

Thanks for your help. To be honest, I am not sure of all the rules. I simply wanted to create a page on myself as I have recently had some changes to my position in the UK Foreign Office. Am I right in understanding that an individual cannot create a page for him or herself? No problem if not possible, just not sure of the rules Turner.paulrobert (talk) 14:47, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
