Your submission at Articles for creation: John McCrea (April 16)

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

The content of this submission includes material that does not meet Wikipedia's minimum standard for inline citations. Please cite your sources using footnotes. For instructions on how to do this, please see Referencing for beginners. Thank you.

The comment the reviewer left was:

You have a lot of URLs at the bottom of this draft, but there's no way for a reviewer to know which bit of information is coming from which. These should be inserted as citations, following the assertion that each on of them is being used to support. Take a look at WP:CITE, and WP:FIRST for more general guidance. Also note that IMDB is user-generated content, which isn't considered reliable and so shouldn't be used as a source; Instagram also is unlikely to be appropriate. Cheers

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 would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:John McCrea and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

Your submission at Articles for creation: John McCrea (April 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 Worldbruce 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:

To establish notability (suitability for inclusion in Wikipedia) the page should cite at least three independent, reliable, secondary sources that contain significant coverage of the topic. Furthermore, the bulk of the article should be based on such sources.

In addition to the problems of unsourced content, the overuse of quotations, the inappropriate tone, and the non-neutral point of view, the draft is based on three interviews. They are primary sources, and to the extent that they're merely McCrea talking about McCrea, they lack independence. The interview by The Times is the only one that contains significant independent research and analysis by the interviewer. It's the only one that helps demonstrate notability, and is not enough on its own.

Continuing to submit the draft without a good-faith effort to fix these problems runs the risk of the draft being deleted and the loss of editing privileges.

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.
