Your submission at Articles for creation: Christopher Manske (March 20)

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

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:Christopher Manske 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.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Prior to receiving this message today I deleted several sections that stated "citations needed." If I remove the first paragraph of the biography that requests citations needed would that be sufficient? Or is the remainder of the article still lacking?

Hi, Mpiazza2016 Most biographies of living people in Wikipedia give some information about the subject's early life and education. Completely removing it would leave a big 'hole' that may beg questions about how the subject came to be employed in their chosen field, etc. Presumably, the information given has been sourced from somewhere, so citing sources for at least some aspects would be better than nothing (Ref 1 at least mentions his previous Army career). There are citation issues elsewhere with some of the references - some are not about Manske at all but about his firm (and are passing mentions at best). Articles that quote Manske in his role as a financial advisor merely support that he is a financial advisor. Significant coverage means more than passing or routine mentions - is there some in-depth or detailed writing about Manske (not by him) and/or his achievements? There is also a somewhat promotional feel to the draft as a whole, particularly with the numerous external links - Wikipedia isn't a place for CVs or corporate peacockery.

Thanks for your comments, Paul. They are appreciated. Mpiazza2016 (talk) 20:31, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

File source problem with File:Manske.Christopher.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Manske.Christopher.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Min☠︎rax^«¦talk¦» 04:28, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
