Your submission at Articles for creation: Andrew Evans (Travel Writer) (July 25)

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

we need independent sources NOT his own works

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 when they have been resolved.

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:Andrew Evans (Travel Writer), click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Andrew Evans (Travel Writer) (August 21)

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

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This reads like promotional content for the person. Also needs more independent sources and to disconnect his own works information as sources.

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 when they have been resolved.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This still needs more external sources independent of the subject. One book review isn't enough. The article is supported mainly by primary sources / the programs he has hosted or press announcements.

Conflcit of interest editing

Hello, Biologyfishman. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Draft:Andrew Evans (travel writer), you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the COI guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 23:14, 23 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Biologyfishman. I've added the above template after reading some of your comments at the Wikipedia Teahouse and the Articles for creation/Help desk. I've just added it for reference purposes, not because you you've done anything wrong. The template contains (blue) links to various Wikipedia pages that you might find helpful, but you might also want to look at Wikipedia:Ownership of content, Wikipedia:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide, Wikipedia:An article about yourself isn't necessarily a good thing, Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#Law of unintended consequences and Wikipedia:Notability (people). Please note that even though Wikipedia doesn't expressly prohibit COI editing, it is something which is highly discouraged. Editors do tend to be given a bit a leeway when it comes to any conflict-of-interest they may have while they are working on a draft because it's assumed that most major problems are going to be addressed during the Articles for Creation review process; however, things completely change once a draft, etc. enters the article namespace and such editors will then be expected to do their utmost to adhere to relevant COI guidelines as well as other relevant Wikipedia policies. -- Marchjuly (talk) 23:29, 23 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
