Draft:Becky Douglas
| Submission declined on 21 November 2024 by Timtrent (talk). 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 appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

Comment: I see what you have done here. You've hit the draft with every single solitary fact you can find, every link you can find. I see why you've done this, but it's counterproductive. All you need to do it to prove the she passed WP:BIO. And she might, but I absolutely cannot tell froths.The bad news is twofold:* It's impenetrable, unreadable* its substantially over-refereenced - WP:BOMBARDThis needs you to perform a substantial edit, and this is an iterative process.In no particular order:* All inline links should be removed, please, and turned into references if appropriate, Wikilinks, or external links in a section so named. See Wikipedia:External links. There should be no links pointing to external sources until those in the 'References' section (with the exception of one optional link in any infobox).* All those name dropping items in Rising Star Outreach just do not help. We care what is said about her, not where she's been or what she's said herself.All this is why you have, by accident, created an advert.For this first pass at a review, please attend to all the items I've mentioned, then resubmit for another review by another reviewer. Remember that all you need to do is to pr0ve they pass WP:BIO, and that cutting this down and writing it very tightly will get you a long way down that road. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 19:38, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
