Draft:Sarah Jefford
| Submission declined on 17 June 2024 by Ca (talk). I removed a lot of the promotional claims sourced to non-independent sources. Ms. Jefford has been cited for opinions in a lot of news websites. However, those websites don't really say much about Ms. Jefford's life, making it difficult to write a good article about her.
Some statements are still unsourced.

Comment: Still fails WP:ANYBIO / WP:NLAWYER - is highly dependent upon primary sources, which are not independent of the individual. Articles written by the individual, interviews with the individual, and publications by the individual are all primary sources. The remaining secondary sources are insufficient to establish notability. Being a failed political candidate or being awarded an OAM are insufficient grounds for being considered notable.

- Comment: None of the sources are independent of the subject or contain WP:SIGCOV. GMH Melbourne (talk) 08:48, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Fails WP:ANYBIO, requires significant coverage in multiple independent secondary sources. The individual's website is a primary source and therefore not independent. Dan arndt (talk) 08:01, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
