Your submission at Articles for creation: Leslie Kimbell (October 23)

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

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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Borderline about to be WP:G11ed.

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:Leslie Kimbell 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.

This is my first go at a Wikipedia page and I am completing it for someone. This is not intended to be an advertisement. I was attempting to model the page very close to a couple of other playwright pages (see Del Shores and Topher Payne). Am I supposed to format everything on the page (pictures, links, etc.)? I guess I thought that once the article is accepted then Wikipedia formats the page in a specific way. Your feedback is appreciated. AnnMitchell1964 (talk) 02:58, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, AnnMitchell1964! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 04:33, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is so frustrating. I have modeled my page after other playwrights. I just don't understand why it's not going through. AnnMitchell1964 (talk) 20:34, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please see WP:YFA, WP:REFB and WP:MOS. Creating an article on Wikipedia is the most difficult task there is here, you have very little in the way of reliable independent sources. Theroadislong (talk) 20:42, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Leslie Kimbell (October 30)

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

Full review in good faith:

-Imdb is unacceptable as a source. Remove it entirely please. -"In High School, Leslie was drawn to the stage and developed a love of theatre" is still pretty promotional. -Are you sure this subject meets WP:CREATIVE?

-The biography has no valid sources.

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.

Hi

I've converted one of your references into a citation. If you have a look at the appearance, your references should go next to the text in the article to show what they are referencing. Help:Referencing for beginners shows you how to add them correctly. I've also added reflist so your references will automatically show up there.

Have a play around in your sandbox with the referencing guide. Knitsey (talk) 21:05, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
