Your submission at Articles for creation: Benjamin Walker (Firefighter) (January 24)

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

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

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:

Please clean up the references. The way they are set up is not right. Please find more external news sources that focus on Walker's career and not just as incidentals / passing mentions.

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:Benjamin Walker (Firefighter) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Please see the citation needed tags, especially around the career section and the controversies section. A lot of the articles referenced do not mention Walker at all, and the convention appearances are from press release / self-published material so that's considered a primary source. Needs more neutral coverage of his work, and his textbooks. If they are widely used, please list examples of firefighting districts/training schools that use his book as required reading.
