Line breaks (Draft:Kenneth Shapiro)

Please do not insert line breaks manually. The system will do that automatically, which allows it (and any webbrowser) to format the page according to local preferences. Using blank lines just screws up that process. Kleuske (talk) 17:26, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Derwooddog. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Draft:Kenneth Shapiro, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Kenneth Shapiro (July 22)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Mgp28 were:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs to

meet any of the eight academic-specific criteria
or cite multiple reliable, secondary sources independent of the subject, which cover the subject in some depth

Make sure your draft meets one of the criteria above before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If the subject does not meet any of the criteria, it is not suitable for Wikipedia.

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:

I suspect he could be notable, but there isn't enough here to make that case. Looking at the article's references, almost all are written by the subject so are clearly not independent. The journal webpages give him passing mention but nothing in detail. The book reviews contribute to the notability of the books but do not convince me of the notability of the subject. Of the other articles, the subject is cited but not discussed as having made a substantial impact. The subject might meet WP:NPROF#C1 or WP:NPROF#C7 but I feel you need to do more to demonstrate this. What is his significant contribution? Phrases like contributes to the development of the field don't get me there. The article also has unsourced material, including his WP:DOB and other possible WP:BLPPRIVACY concerns. The "Notable Contributions" section should be written in prose, and the extra line breaks should be removed from the "Publications" section. Mgp28 (talk) 11:01, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
