Your submission at Articles for creation: Andrew Morley (September 28)

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

This is his resumé. Reasonably senior chap, but WP:ROTM businessman doing his job. Oversourced to Campaign mag. That he exists does not mean he is notable, I exist and I am not.

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.

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:Andrew Morley 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.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Comment

Can you refer me to any of the people at worldvision.org/about-us/media-contacts? I would like to video chat with one of them to discuss the basics of Wikipedia editing and set the organization up for success in a more formal Wikipedia collaboration.

Wikipedia is the most requested, published, accessed, and consulted source of information on crisis of all kinds. That should make Wikipedia an attractive partner to WV. I am a coordinator for Wikipedia:WikiProject Disaster management and d:Wikidata:WikiProject Humanitarian Wikidata, which is within the domain of expertise for World Vision. World Vision spent about US$ 2 billion last year, but Wikipedia is arguably 1000x more influential in WV's communication domain as measured by what I know about Wikipedia's traffic and what I can guess about WV's communication.

It is not uncommon that when I see an org like WV approach Wikipedia they start with a PR office which got a US$10k retainer from them and which is billing $250/hour for wiki editing. I appreciate you coming here, thanks, but I do not think WV is backing you with that level of support, and for that reason I think a discussion would be worthwhile to establish mutual understanding of what Wikipedia volunteer support WV is consuming and what Wikipedia can offer for partnerships. You personally are doing great as an editor but the wiki volunteer editor community expects organization like World Vision to come with more preparation and not be asking for so much volunteer labor support from the wiki editors.

If someone at WV would meet with me then I could talk to them by video chat, recorded and published if they want the transparency, or otherwise just casual. What I want from WV is development of wiki articles not about the WV brand, but to move their expertise and knowledge about humanitarian issues into general Wikipedia articles covering those topics.

Please relay my message to your team. Let's explore a more in-depth collaboration. Thanks. Bluerasberry (talk) 17:25, 28 February 2023 (UTC) (refactored from Talk:World Vision International#Edit request)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Andrew Morley

Hello, CharlieDaveyPowell. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Andrew Morley".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. ✗plicit 02:07, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
