Your submission at Articles for creation: Jack Castiglione (May 12)

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

Fails WP:ANYBIO - all information should be backed by inline citations referencing reliable independent secondary sources (see Wikipedia's guide to referencing for beginners). Noting that Wikipedia itself is not a reliable or acceptable source.

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 User:Jack8581/Jack Castiglione 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 User:Jack8581/Jack Castiglione, 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.

creating an article about yourself

Hi, Jack! I saw your question at Teahouse.

What we need to see to prove notability are your clippings. Do you have a collection?

The minimum is at least three articles in independent reliable sources -- books, magazines, newspapers -- and preferably national or at least regional, not just local coverage. Local notability isn't sufficient. And the coverage needs to be significant -- that is, these articles are about or primarily about you or talk about you at length, not just mentioning you or quoting you.

That said, realize that if you are notable enough, you will have zero control over an article about you. Anything negative will be covered, too, and you won't be able to remove it. Having an article about you in Wikipedia is a double-edged sword. —valereee (talk) 19:43, 14 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I turned the book mention into a ref. However, this ref does not contribute to establishing notability, because it is what a person did, not ABOUT the person. David notMD (talk) 00:19, 15 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

hello Jack. I also saw your question at the Teahouse. I made a few small edits to your userspace draft; I hope that is OK. As valereee says, we need articles or book entries that talk about you. Were you interviewed on TV, or did someone write an article about you in an newspaper or magazine? Let us know and perhaps we can help track down the item. without these "sources" it's not possible ot have an article here. Thanks. --- Possibly (talk) 02:31, 15 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
