I am happy with the text for User:Hettyleigh/sandbox, however I am worried about the referencing. Australian Cartooning is a small cottage industry. Therefore the referencing sources may not be valid, as per the Referencing Guide. Can someone please review my page for Lindsay Foyle and provide feedback. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hettyleigh (talk • contribs) 01:54, 30 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If you are satisfied that you have done all you can to provide proper referencing, it is time to submit the draft for review. To my eye, you are relying far too much on primary sources, so you may want to look into that, either before or after submitting. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 02:27, 30 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

How do I publish this article? Thanks! Hettyleigh (talk) 02:20, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, step one is now accomplished - I moved the draft to draftspace - the move was complicated by your near-simultaneous attempt to move it directly to article space. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 02:43, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

And I've added an AFC draft template so there is a submit button.

I still think you are too reliant on primary sources, so you should consider working on that before submitting for review. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 02:48, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I just looked at the sources again. None of them are independent reporting about Foyle. You've invoked bios, interviews, and listings of positions, but nothing that allows us to establish notability. You might think that the bare facts of his life membership in the ACA or having been its president would confer notability, but that's unfortunately not the case. You need to find instances where an independent reporter has 'taken note of' these achievements and published about them in a reliable source. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 03:02, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Lindsay Foyle (January 9)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by CNMall41 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:

Possibly notable but we need to see references that show how the person is notable for Wikipedia. See WP:ANYBIO.

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:Lindsay Foyle and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Lindsay Foyle, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 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.
