Sources

In Wikipedialand, sources are not content written BY your father. What is essential is published content ABOUT your father. Look at biographical articles about people with a career similar to your father (academic? artist? politician?). Ideally, at least three sources where he was written about at length. Declare your COI on your User page. What you know to be true cannot be included unless there are citations for those facts. David notMD (talk) 09:37, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Quoting an experienced Teahouse host: "Wikipedia is only interested in what people who have no connection with the subject, and who have not been prompted or fed information on behalf of the subject, have chosen to publish about the subject in reliable sources." What the subject has said in published interviews does not count. David notMD (talk) 10:28, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The thread you created at the Wikipedia:Teahouse, Wikipedia page for my father, has been archived because there was no discussion for a few days (usually at least two days, and sometimes four or more). You can still find the archived discussion here. If you have any additional questions that weren't answered then, please feel free to create a new thread.
