Dennis Loughran moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Dennis Loughran, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Boleyn (talk) 17:40, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I understand clearly, Boleyn. This is just my first article that I created, and I am just trying to learn the basics. But I clearly understand that it's not suitable as written, since it's just a draft. Clay2004 (talk) 17:46, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not

Restore content of poor articles that fail WP:GNG as you've done at Percy the Small Engine or One Coarse Meal. Those have been redirected for a reason (failing GNG, lack of references - WP:V, etc.). If you restore such articles, please add referenced academic analysis, reception section, and like. You can see how I rescued (restored) article on Talk:Yoruichi_Shihōin#Notability, for example - note quality sources have been added to show this meets GNG. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 04:15, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Dennis Loughran (April 25)

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

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. 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:

fictional character with almost entirely plot summary. notability of fictional characters depends on non in-universe material

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:Dennis Loughran and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson

Hi Clay2004, thought I'd let you know I finally got to making the Spoken article for The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson. Cheers M4V3R1CK32 (talk) 18:36, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for letting me know. Also, I have a request for another spoken article that might be interesting.

Which is Milwaukee Airport Railroad Station. Clay2004 (talk) 21:15, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Movies, Games and Tech may not be reliable, while Gamereactor is potentially unreliable. Better sources would be needed to declare it notable, and sourcing the gameplay would help too.
