Your submission at Articles for creation: Murder of Elizabeth Roberts (June 5)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by S0091 was:

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. 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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Please see the notability guidelines for an event. Also, large portions of the content is not sourced and some of the sources do not mention Roberts (The Atlantic, 1992 article by Seattle Times). In addition, blogs are not reliable sources which includes Law & Crime. Will need secondary sources beyond the local area about the event.

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:Murder of Elizabeth Roberts and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Murder of Elizabeth Roberts, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to 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.

Hello, Apelcini! 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! S0091 (talk) 22:31, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Guidance

Hi Apelcini, I am assuming you are a family member or otherwise connected to Elizabeth Roberts so first let me express my sincere condolences for your loss. I am sure the decline seems (or perhaps is) harsh. Unfortunately, these type of events are not rare in our society so from a Wikipedia standpoint they need to garner large regional if not national attention over an extended period of time in order to warrant an article. I see you were able to cite at least local sources that dated back into the 90s. Are there state-wide (or similar) articles over the decades? Note, sources do not need to be available on-line. As long as enough information about the source is provided that anyone should be able to find it, even if that means going to library that is sufficient (ex. name of publication, date, etc.) that will be sufficient. As a matter of "paperwork", if you are affiliated with Roberts or the case, you do need to declare your conflict of interest (read the guideline}. If have questions or need help, you can ask at the Teahouse. You can also respond here but I am likely the only person that will see you response and I will not be able to respond for another week (we are all volunteers here).

Elizabeth Roberts

The article is good but it needs some more sources before it can be published. I tidied up some stuff but each sentence needs a citation. Take a look at similar articles in this list to use as an outline: List of formerly unidentified decedents, 2020–2029. Inexpiable (talk) 18:45, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi!

Hello Apelcini! I'm helena, I would like if you could make the wiki information and details about the murder of tina and dean clouse who were previously known for a long time as "Harris County Does"? 138.121.114.154 (talk) 19:16, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Helena! I hadn't heard of this story before, but I'd be happy to take it on, and I should be able to take this on in balance with my other projects. I'm honored that you want me to write this, and I will make sure I keep working on it, but I'm very busy with student obligations and another draft I'm already working on, so it may take a few weeks or more to complete a draft.

DNA Doe Project

I have again reverted your addition of multiple red links to the same non-existent article at DNA Doe Project. Adding 11(!) red links to an article that doesn't even exist on Wikipedia does nothing to improve our readers' comprehension of the topic. Per WP:BRD, as your edit is disputed, please get consensus for your change via the talk page prior to restoring the unnecessary links.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 23:44, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, sorry. I was editing on the mobile app, it made it harder to tell that my changes had been reverted instead of just not saved. I totally understand why you reverted it Apelcini (talk) 16:47, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your Draft:List of forensic reconstructions by Carl Koppelman got declined. Please respond.

That's odd, I never submitted the draft because of the very fact that it was unfinished. Honestly, I thought it was on the verge of deletion for inactivity. I absolutely do not think that this draft is in any state to be put in the mainspace, and would never intentionally submit it for review in this state. Please respond back to me as I would like to figure out how it got submitted and how to prevent this from happening again. Apelcini (talk) 02:41, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You can edit. I fixed some names and added some reconstructions. #bodyContent aFlag Creator { background-color: #ffa500; color: #ggggggg; font-weight: monoscope; } 20:43, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, it's kind of useful. Look, when people search these on wikimedia, they get random images of something. But this helps them see it clearly and since there are so many reconstructions, it will be hard to find all of them. So, you have to keep it active. I never fund any reconstructions of 2006 Philly Football and Kenneth Ecker and Pompano Beach Jane Doe. #bodyContent aFlag Creator { background-color: #ffa500; color: #ggggggg; font-weight: monoscope; } 09:43, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
