Ways to improve Duane Miller

Hi, I'm Meatsgains. Kevingmcgrath, thanks for creating Duane Miller!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Consider providing reliable sources to strengthen the page's verifiability. Also, it is far too promotional.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Citations added

Thanks Meatsgains. I added citations to the new page and removed the message about that.

As far as the POV, I wonder if we've helped address that too. I removed some of the language that may have made it sound promotional.

Patrick F. Burke

Nice start on Patrick F. Burke. I added a few more links and changed some wording. I also moved the references right up to the end of the period. As well, several paragraphs remain unsourced. You may want to add more categories, and also more specific categories. As well, the paragraphs could be moved and a few section headings added such as "football career", "post football", "personal"...or something like that. Finally, an infobox would be great. Cheers!

Simply does not meet WP:GNG.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Frank Jackson (horseshoe pitcher) (August 8)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Milkk7 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:

Not enough information, introduction is not written in an encyclopedic tone.

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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Frank Jackson (horseshoe pitcher) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
