Your submission at Articles for creation: Antonio Onofri (October 15)

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

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of people, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), 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:

This draft needs more citations, for one. Try this and this. Add page numbers (206-207) to the other citation. Technically, a head of state passes our criteria for politicians but this wacky system of two people elected every six months seems to lower the bar for notability too far. Please develop this, especially with the number of Italian-language sources out there.

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:Antonio Onofri 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.

Hi Chris. Thanks for reviewing the article. I've been researching San Marino for a separate project and was surprised he didn't have an article. I agree that their system of electing four heads of state a year is a bit wacky, but this 7-time captain is one of the few names that crops up in pretty much every article or book I've come across on the history. I think the key events he's involved in and the consistent retelling of them across multiple sources are grounds for his notability, as opposed to the hundreds of others who've held the office. I hope the additional sources help to make this point. Joe byrne (talk) 20:22, 15 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
