Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (January 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 SwisterTwister was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of people and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), 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:

Still not significant to satisfy our standards.

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:Mokillem/sandbox 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.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Your sandbox article

Hi. I saw your sandbox article on Yusuf Ahmed Mohamed. I wanted to offer some help, explaining how Wikipedia works.

First, imagine someone were to write an article containing false information. The way we prevent that is that information in the articles need <ref>s to reliable sources. The policy is called Verifiability. Almost none of the information in your sandbox is sourced. We are extra careful with biographies. Our biography policy is BLP.

Second, we don't have articles on people who were just in the news for a single event. Policy BLP1E.

To make this into an acceptable article you would need to add refs for the information, removing any information that was still unsourced. You also need to show Yusuf Ahmed Mohamed was covered in the news or other sources, for something other than just his murder. I hope this helps. Alsee (talk) 08:10, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've moved this from the user page where it was mistakenly placed. --David Biddulph (talk) 06:13, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yusuf Ahmed Sarinle

Hello Mokillem,

I have written a brief article about Yusuf Ahmed Sarinle, based on what I could find online. I would appreciate your comments. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 01:00, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Mokillem: I am another editor who read in the Teahouse about your Wikipedia activity. I made a small improvement to the photo caption for the Yusuf Ahmed Sarinle page. I'll try to find channels by which you might pursue sources of more information and will get back to you here. Possibly the references in other English-language articles in Category:Somalian people will give you useful leads. -- Deborahjay (talk) 13:06, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Content elsewhere

I've added content about Yusuf Ahmed Sarinle besides on that page. See also:

List of Somalis#Military leaders (see brief description)

@Mokillem: Are you perhaps able to add other languages to the Wikidata page? See the fields at the top of the page in the fields "Label" and "description" (before Statements) - I can help fill this in. -- Deborahjay (talk) 14:34, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
