AfC notification: Draft:Eric Lane has a new comment

Your submission at Articles for creation: Eric Lane (February 26)

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

Needs more sources that are significant coverage (rather than just a mention of a fact). Major reviews or academic publications about his work will count for this - they don't all need to specifically discuss him as a person. "Early life" section needs a citation, or just remove it.

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:Eric Lane 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.

Hello,

Thank you for your comments. Since this is the first time that I’m writing an article and have others I want to create, I’m wondering if you can help me better understand what’s needed. I understand your note, “Needs more sources that are significant coverage (rather than just a mention of a fact).”

Are the following acceptable sources:

- Newspapers and online reviews (e.g. N.Y. Times, Albany Union Times, Playbill, Library Journal, etc.)

- Publisher websites (e.g. Random House, Dramatists Play Service)

- A college student’s honor project that analyzes one of the plays

- Online blog interviews:

“I Interview Playwrights” by Adam Szymkowicz who has interviewed 1100 playwrights

By Jacqueline E. Lawton, playwright and dramaturg

- Anything else good to know?

Also, some of the works mentioned were produced, published and reviewed before the internet existed, so finding online sources is more difficult. The same with some awards. How is it best to handle those? If something doesn’t have a specific citation, do I cut it?

I am a little confused as the sources provided seem more complete than other articles I’ve seen on Wikipedia. And productions include notable actors who have their own Wikipedia pages and mention these works including Jennifer Aniston, Oscar winner Melissa Leo, etc.

Thank you once again. I appreciate your help. ArtsAdventurer (talk) 17:39, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Liz,

I'm confused. I edited the page and resubmitted the new draft on 12/17/23. Then I never heard anything. What did I do wrong when submitting? What do you recommend next?

Thanks for your help,
