Your submission at Articles for creation: Alexander McLeod (artist) (September 19)

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

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:Alexander McLeod (artist) 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 so much for reviewing my entry so quickly! I really appreciate it, as I've always wondered how something/someone manifests on Wiki. I'll look further into available sources and try to address your comment...it is strange for this particular artist, as his work is most relevant in the digital world...it is hard to find published sources because even the print media he has been featured in is also now moving online.

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Alexander McLeod (artist). Thanks! Jamiebuba (talk) 11:54, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you also for the comment - it helps immensely as I formatted this from another approved artist's page that is the same circle of Canadian art as Alexander. Regarding the sources of the exhibitions and lectures...do you think it best to provide those exhibitions outlined in references or to state the names directly in the section? Thanks again!
