Please help me with... letting me know when my article on Hai-Lung Dai might be approved and posted?

You will be notified of the result of the review here on your talk page. Unfortunately there are currently some 900 drafts awaiting review, so it may take a couple of weeks until a reviewer looks at yours. At a glance I noticed, however, that all the draft's references seem to be associated with Temple University, not quite the independent coverage Wikipedia content should be based on. There also seem to be some verifiability issues. Shortening the draft and adding third-party sources such as newspapers or reputable magazines discussing Dai in some detail may help.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Hai-Lung Dai (June 10)

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

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of people and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

He meets the criteria for academics, but all information still must come from third-party sources and be verifiable. Most of the text has no references.

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 when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Hai-Lung Dai and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Hedybaker. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Hai-Lung Dai, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 12:44, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
