Your submission at Articles for creation: Kelly Dukeshire (November 6)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Tails Wx 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 for sports persons and athletes). 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.

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:Kelly Dukeshire and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.

AfC notification: Draft:Kelly Dukeshire has a new comment

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Kelly Dukeshire. Thanks! Greenman (talk) 06:38, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I guess I’m a bit confused. The article was initially rejected citing lack of notability, even though this athlete has been inducted into multiple sports halls of fame and the citations demonstrated this (i.e., citing the hall of fame induction profiles).

So I aimed to include 2 newspaper articles for each major point (i.e., finals MVP, All-Canadian, 3x conference all-star). Each of the newspaper articles covers said point. But now I’m receiving feedback that this is citation bombing.

I guess I’m just confused on what reviewers consider to meet the notability standard. The initial comment indicated that induction into multiple sports halls of fame does not reach notability, but now news paper articles that establish the points that were reported in the halls of fame induction profiles constitutes citation bombing. I guess it’s unclear to me how to establish notability with these instances of feedback, which to me appear to conflict. Canfan1964 (talk) 15:27, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The comment the reviewer left was:

Thanks for your submission! Unfortunately, this draft has too many citations to primary and non-independent sources to be acceptable, and I'm not seeing significant coverage of the subject in the secondary sources that are provided. Also, note that I'm hitting 404s on all of the newspaper.com sources, you might want to check that out. Let me know if you have any questions!
