Your submission at Articles for creation: John Ellis (American physicist) (March 20)

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

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 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:

Fails WP:NPROF / WP:ANYBIO, requires significant coverage in multiple independent reliable secondary sources. His employer's website is a primary source and Wikipedias are not acceptable references.

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.

Your submission at Articles for creation: John Ellis (American physicist) (April 1)

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

This looks like a bio written by an admiring student. Unless you can find sources that demonstrate that he meets WP:NPROF there will not be an article. Being an academic and an amusing teacher is not enough.

Eugene Terentjev

I can only read the first part of your message - presumably regarding my edits in November 2017. Would you like to expand here, please. - Derek R Bullamore (talk) 13:16, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Derek, Thanks for your prompt reply, here is a copy of the original message:

I noticed that you edited a page for Eugene Terentjev, he is a Cambridge Director of Studies at Queens College.

I am trying to get a page submitted for Dr John Ellis who is also a Cambridge Director of Studies, but at Gonville and Caius College.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:John_Ellis_(British_physicist)

I was wondering if you could give me some advice for getting this submission accepted, Kind Regards C

I am a long way from my comfort zone on this type of subject matter. In addition, I have never operated in the WP:AfC arena, as I do not feel particularly at ease dealing with other editors draft articles. There are three pieces of advice I would give. Firstly, if you have not already done so, contact those editors who have corresponded with you on this draft, and ask specific questions as to how the draft needs to be enhanced to meet the eligibility criteria. Secondly, have a read of some of the blue links in the standard replies you have had - specifically WP:NPROF and ask yourself if you can see why the subject matter is falling short. Finally, often it is a lack of reliable third party references that is the stumbling block. In other words, has John Ellis had coverage in publications outside those having a close affiliation to the subject matter ? Note that not everyone is deemed notable ! I hope this helps.
