Your submission at Articles for creation: Vic Sahai (September 29)

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

Please note that per WP:NPOL, unelected candidates for office do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates. To be notable enough for Wikipedia, he would have to clear one or the other of two further tests: either (a) you can establish that he was already notable enough for an article for some other reason quite independent of his candidacy, or (b) you can establish a reason why his candidacy was much more special than most other people's candidacies, in some way that would pass the ten year test for enduring significance.
But you have not adequately referenced the significance of his scientific career, referencing that entirely to primary sources rather than reliable or notability-supporting ones, and a two-day blip of coverage in the context of a competing candidate's social media snafu, is not at all sufficient to make his candidacy one for the ages.
His potential notability is as a scientist, not as a political candidate, so the article needs be rewritten to place the emphasis and the weight of sourcing where it belongs.

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:Vic Sahai and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
