Draft:Laurenzo Noél Thomson

Submission declined on 25 December 2024 by DoubleGrazing (talk).

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.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.
Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.

Resubmit

Please note that if the issues are not fixed, the draft will be declined again.

Comment: Sources 1 and 2 (=) are not actual sources. Source 3 is a Facebook profile. None is useful in any way.
The quasi-sources 4-10, added manually to the list, are not sources at all, since they aren't cited anywhere, and don't therefore support anything in this draft. If you wish to rely on them for referencing and/or notability purposes, cite them inline in the usual manner.
There is also far too much unreferenced information, esp. for an article on a living person. For example, which source gives this person's DOB? DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:27, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

Comment: There is nothing here to suggest that Thomson is notable in Wikipedia terms. Theroadislong (talk) 08:05, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
