Your submission at Articles for creation: Jaclyn Bradley (May 21)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by CNMall41 was:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

The comment the reviewer left was:

The text is purely advertorial and seems more like a press kit than an encyclopedia article. It also has too many links to the point of WP:REFBOMB. It also includes terms that would not be encyclopedic such as "music therapy author."

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:Jaclyn Bradley and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Jaclyn Bradley, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, 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.

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

Thank you to the reviewer. Will work to make it better for this wikipedia. I am confused as it asked for more citations for a living person, yet reviewer said there are too many citations.

I am happy to remove the excess and have it read more objectively. Any help you could give me on all of these points would be appreciated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nashvillelotus (talk • contribs) 11:32, May 21, 2020 (UTC)

Nashvillelotus, I know it can be confusing to see both messages so I'll try to help. You might want to review the General Notability Guideline, which applies these same standards. "Notability" means something slightly different in Wikipedia terms than it does in regular English.

The key for referencing new articles about a living person is that the sources used need three qualities: significance, reliability, and independence. Significance: the source cited needs to be significantly about the person who is the subject of the article you are writing. If the source is really about some-one or something else and just mentions the article subject in passing, for example, it is not significant. List articles, database listings, or other sources that merely include the article subject as one of many items with little or no context are also examples of non-significant sources. Reliability: the source needs to be one that is generally considered to be a responsible and dependable source of genuine information. Tabloids, social media, self-published sources like blogs and wikis (even this one) etc. are not reliable sources. Independence: any source that is connected to the article subject is problematic. We prefer sources about living persons to be independent of the person themselves. So, a person's own writings, a website of their publisher or record company, the press releases from a company they are connected to, etc. are not independent.

A new article needs sources that are all three of this things, not some that are independent and some that are reliable and some that are significant. When an article reviewer sees a plethora of sources and sees that some show only one or two of those qualities, that is a red flag. It says to the reviewer that the person writing the article either does not know about this requirement or does know and is trying to "get around" it by presenting a flood of partially-compliant sources. It is better for a new article to use a smaller number of good-quality sources than a large amount of iffy sources. I hope this helps explain the standards used.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Jaclyn Bradley (May 22)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Sulfurboy 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 when they have been resolved.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Ty Stone (May 27)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Robert McClenon 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 music-related topics). 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:

This draft does not appear to indicate which of the musical notability criteria is satisfied. If at least one of the criteria is satisfied, please revise this draft appropriately, with a reliable source, if necessary stating on the talk page which criterion is met, and resubmit. You may ask for advice about the musical notability criteria at the Teahouse.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Jack Bradley (May 27)

Your recent article submission has been rejected. If you have further questions, you can ask at the Articles for creation help desk or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help. The reason left by Robert McClenon was: This topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia. The comment the reviewer left was: This draft does not satisfy general notability. The subject, as mayor of a city with a population of 65,000, does not satisfy political notability.

The infobox appears to be a hoax. It indicates that the subject is a member of the United States House of Representatives (which would pass political notability if true) from Ohio's 56th district. Ohio has 16 Congressional districts, and the text of the draft does not indicate that the subject was elected to the United States House of Representatives.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize pages by deliberately introducing incorrect information, as you did at Draft:Jack Bradley, you may be blocked from editing. Robert McClenon (talk) 00:35, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Jaclyn Bradley (May 28)

{{subst:Afc decline|full=Draft:Jaclyn Bradley|cv=no|reason=bio|details=|reason2=|details2=|comment= This draft, as written, does not appear to indicate that one of the biographical notability criteria is satisfied. If one of the criteria is satisfied, please revise this draft appropriately, with a reliable source, if necessary stating on the talk page which criterion is met, and resubmit. It is the responsibility of the submitter to show that a subject satisfies a notability criterion.

You may ask for advice about the biographical notability criteria at the Teahouse.

In particular, see and refer to WP:NBIO for notability, which is the guideline that the subject should be evaluated against. This draft does not appear to satisfy any of:

general notability, requiring [[WP:SIGCOV|significant coverage by multiple reliable sources.
acting notability, requiring multiple significant roles.
musical notability, with multiple criteria of which at least one should be satisfied.

If the author wishes to resubmit, please explain, on the draft talk page, Draft talk:Jaclyn Bradley, which of the criteria is satisfied, and how.|sig=yes}}
