16:36:29, 9 July 2018 review of submission by Bridge600MHz

Bridge600MHz (talk · contribs)

Hello, thank you for taking time to review the bio I contributed. I am happy to inform that the majority of the links provided in the bio contribution were from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) which are two of the most prominent regulatory bodies in the United States. So I do not quite understand the basis for declination based on being completely unsourced. Further on guidelines of being notable, Laurence was the first telecom executive to use broadband equipment over cellular licenses at a time when the equipment ecosystem was solely voice and text (no data) and he had to get vendors on-board to build such broadband equipment which did not exist in the 1990s. The spectrum bands he aggregated are the same foundation for 5G data moving forward today in the United States by Verizon and AT&T. Please advise as I am re-submitting as a novice contributor but highly knowledgeable in matters of wireless infrastructure. Further I am happy to say, Laurence is once again pioneering in the 600MHz spectrum band with a 5G B2B business model which will be the first of its kind in providing free mobile data to consumers. The submission was declined on 12 May 2018 by KJP1. I raeched out to KJP1 but never heard back on the above. Please advise. Bridge600MHz (talk) 16:36, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Bridge600MHz. The comment "completely unsourced" is misleading. The references section is completely empty, which suggests you didn't understand the distinction between external links and citing sources. External links are not allowed in the flowing text. If the links support the text, they would have to be reformatted as references, otherwise they would have to be removed.

More seriously, none of the links is to in-depth, independent, coverage of Zimmerman in reliable secondary sources. The SEC and FCC are reliable sources for the information where they are linked, and reliable is a good property for sources to have, but it's just one of the properties they need. They're primary sources, and in the case of the SEC website, are written by Zimmerman's companies, so far from independent.

Whether a person is notable (suitable for an article in the encyclopedia) is not measured by what they have accomplished, but by what has been written about them in independent, reliable, secondary sources. Searches of the usual Google types, De Gruyter, EBSCO, Gale, HighBeam, JSTOR, Project MUSE, ProQuest, and Questia found zero sources to support notability, so this does not appear to be a suitable topic for Wikipedia. There are a million ways to contribute other than by starting new articles. Check out Wikipedia:Community portal for ways to help, or explore Wikipedia:WikiProject Telecommunications and similar projects. --Worldbruce (talk) 01:52, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the guidance. However you cite SEC as being primary but not independent and I disagree. As a public company with audited financials, a company cannot just write independently and file !0Ks and 10Qs- its the opposite. I will refile with references and look into the sources you cite. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.105.182.130 (talk) 13:59, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

- Draft:2019 NCAA Division I Baseball season (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

They Are 2 References On the 2019 NCAA Division I Baseball season I hope it's enough to become a article. 169.55.19.144 (talk) 19:06, 9 July 2018 (UTC) 169.55.19.144 (talk) 19:06, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The issue is more that it's likely the article will be warrented in the future, but it doesn't belong on Wikipedia yet. See Wikipedia's article on Crystal Ball for more information. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 10:06, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
