Kamau Mahakoe moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Kamau Mahakoe, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Most of the citations are to back up the existence of the books and not to back up the article, which might have led to some confusion. I removed all of those. I also removed data which I cannot find a citation for (but knew). The article relies on six sources, of which five are newspaper articles which are about the subject, the school, or her family, and mention the subject and her actions. The sixth is an autobiography, and therefore self-published. I hope it's useful as an autobiography is a way to get information which is difficult to get elsewhere, and most peoples' autobiographies are probably not too untruthful on where and how they found their interests. But, that material can also go, which would leave the material from the school ,for which she has gained most of her notability, and which is spoken about most in the media coverage. I don't believe a peer reviewed article is appropriate for this subject, though they has received media coverage otherwise. Is it fine if the article is short but the information in it is cited and also relevant to the citations? How many citations are required? --Maronaut (talk) 05:57, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I added the ISBNs. Is this good for resubmition? --Maronaut (talk) 07:29, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I italicized the book names, too. Maronaut (talk) 21:37, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Kamau Mahakoe (July 18)

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

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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

You may not use the books she has written as references. They are the product she makes. Let me try to explain. If they manufactured vacuum cleaners, the cleaners would be their work. A vacuum cleaner could not be a reference for them, simply because it is the product they make. So it is with research, writings, etc. However, a review of their work by others tends to be a review of them and their methods, so is a reference, as is a peer reviewed paper a reference for their work.

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.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Kamau Mahakoe (October 2)

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

Thanks for resubmitting the draft. I have reviewed the article, including all of the references provided, and it does not appear that the subject meets the notability guidelines for biographies at this time. The independent published references focus on her children's accomplishments, and the others are not independent, reliable sources. Please feel free to respond on my or your talk page if you have any questions about this.

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.
