Your submission at Articles for creation: Grant Howitt (July 20)

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

Not enough notability has been established, needs more coverage about himself instead of his games. The notability of the games didn't confer an automatic notability on its designer.

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:Grant Howitt 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.

Thank you User:SunDawn - that's really useful. I'll add more and resubmit. Note to self: Re-read this Wikipedia:Notability_(people)#Creative_Professionals

A lot of rewriting was put into the article, if you want to have another look and see what you need to do before resubmitting. BOZ (talk) 03:18, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, my difficulty if identifying what *is* a reliable secondary source in a medium much of whose documentation is online.

It's similar - though not the same - as issues faced by

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Video_games

I will get round to it. Harrytc (talk) 03:59, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I went ahead and published this one myself after finding more sources. BOZ (talk) 21:49, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, that's amazing! That's a load of work!

There's a couple of terms that aren't right for the UK - grade school, college - and I'll get a set of edits together.

Thank you - he's one of the notables of the current crop of game designers, and it's good to see that recognised. Harrytc (talk) 09:58, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Glad to help. :) BOZ (talk) 08:10, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
