Your submission at Articles for creation: The Desperate Man (Leon Bloy novel) (May 24)

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

There are no independent reliable sources. Please see Wikipedia:Notability (books).

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:The Desperate Man (Leon Bloy novel) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion.

Improving your article about The Desperate Man

Hello Butchart, and welcome to Wikipedia! I noticed through the Books Wikiproject that your article on The Desperate Man has been going through a couple rounds of edits/rejections. I think you've laid a great foundation here and you've certainly found evidence that the work is notable enough for a wikipedia article. I wanted to offer some additional feedback or assistance if you'd like, to finish bringing it in line with Wikipedia standards. The main thing I notice is that the list of critical reviews isn't a very encyclopedic way to present information about a book's reception. A better approach would be to summarize how people have responded to the book, perhaps restating in one sentence what each of those reviews' main conclusions were. You could also use the information in the reviews, such as the author's Dolorism, to write an additional section or two about the book, perhaps a "background" section or "major themes." Then that information would be cited to the reviews you found, and they would appear as references for the article without having to be awkwardly listed in the body of the article itself. The article has definitely improved from the work you've put into it so I think it's quite close to being ready for mainspace! Let me know if you have any questions or if you'd like me to try to help with writing some of the article, and good luck! ~ oulfis 🌸(talk) 23:20, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
