Your submission at Articles for creation: Kevin McGarry (actor) (June 14)

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

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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Article is very overdependent on primary and unreliable sources, and not nearly enough on reliable or notability-building ones. For example, in order to make him notable for appearing in When Calls the Heart, you cannot use SuperChannel's own self-published content about its own programming -- you have to use journalist-written content in real media, such as news stories about him and the show in real newspapers. By the same token, you also cannot stake notability on IMDb entries, blogs, program listings in TV Guide, staff profiles on the self-published production websites of movies he's been in, user-generated fanwikis like the Schitt's Creek Wiki, or brief glancing acknowledgements of his existence in sources that aren't about him.
The only acceptable or notability-assisting sources present here at all are #2 (Deadline) and #16 (Calgary Herald), and that's not enough, so the sourcing needs to be massively overhauled before this can be accepted.

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.

That's not how the process works. If you think you've done enough, you're free to resubmit it to the AFC submission queue — but there's no rule that I have to personally shepherd it through all the followup just because I reviewed it the first time, and instead the second review can be done by whoever gets to it.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Kevin McGarry (actor) (July 15)

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

Thank you for replacing the sourcing, but you missed the point a little bit -- we need news articles that are about him and his performances, not just articles that happen to briefly mention his name. For instance, the Good Housekeeping article here contains the text "Kevin McGarry, who plays Nathan on Hallmark's When Calls the Heart, is also set to appear in the movies, but it's unclear who he'll play — a love interest, perhaps?" as the sum total of everything it says about him -- which means it isn't a notability-assisting source, because it isn't saying anything significant or noteworthy about him beyond verifying that he exists.
The Deadline Hollywood source says enough about him to count for something, but it takes more than just one source of that depth to get a person over the notabilty bar -- but the other four all just briefly mention his name without being about him in any non-trivial sense, which means they aren't helping. We need more sources like the Deadline Hollywood citation.

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.
