Tips

Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, MartinPoulter (talk) 14:23, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Anthony Phillips (politician) (November 3)

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

The comment the reviewer left was:

Doesn't appear to pass WP:NPOL.

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:Anthony Phillips (politician) 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.

Hi, I would like to respectfully disagree that the subject does not pass WP:NPOL.

I'm not sure how familiar you are with Philadelphia and its politics so I'll give you a very brief overview so you have context for my disagreement. The subject of the article is a politician in Philadelphia's legislative body. He directly represents 160,000 people and writes/votes on legislation affecting a city of 1.6 million in a metro area of 5-8 million (depending on how you define it).

WP:NPOL states "Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage" and I'd argue that this context qualifies the subject as a "major political figure" and I think the article's citations show he has received "significant press coverage".

Also, I am a fairly new/casual editor, so apologies if this is not the right place to dispute the article review. Arjsd (talk) 03:02, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
