Your submission at Articles for creation: Ken Barnes - Eight time World skeet shooting champion (November 17)

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.

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:Ken Barnes - Eight time World skeet shooting champion 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.

November 2023

Hello. Your recent edit to North High School (Bakersfield, California) appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you.

Hello. I have 3 separate references for that person. I'm working on getting their personal page created and am having difficulty. Any guidance? I submitted a detailed draft but was declined. Avidworks (talk) 02:49, 18 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft currently has only one reference, and not a very good one at that (his school's hall of fame). Your content is most overly-close paraphrasing of that high school source, it uses non neutral language, and it violates the WP:MOS by being formatted as a bulleted list.
