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

Hello, Nskwortsow!

See you there! qcne(talk)12:28, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, this is not ai-generated. Please see www.skwortsow.com for the original source. This website has been online since the late 90s and I updated it in 2010 when my father (Alexander Skwortsow) passed away. Nskwortsow (talk) 12:31, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Nskwortsow, thanks for letting me know. It reads like AI-generated text as it has the flowery overly complex prose common to AI chat bots. However, Wikipedia articles need to be written in a strictly neutral point of view so this would need a total re-write.
We also require more sources to establish notability: we need significant coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources such as magazines, books, or newspapers.
Unfortunately Wikipedia cannot be used to reference itself. Are there any secondary sources that discuss him in detail? Books, newspapers, etc... qcne(talk)19:26, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What are you looking for, please? My dad's career peaked in the 70s and 80s. Can I upload scanned newspaper excerpts as proof of his role as a virtuoso soloist and concertmaster, which substantiates the claims made in the text above? 145.53.130.47 (talk) 19:33, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No, please don't upload copyrighted material. However we can accept offline references such as newspaper articles.
Significant coverage
We need significant coverage. We need multiple sources that discuss your father directly and in detail. Not: passing mentions, directory listings, government records. Several of them (a minimum of three, usually). The subject of the article must be notable.
Reliable sources
We need sources that are reliable. Usually this means that the publisher has a reputation for fact checking and accuracy. A major newspaper, a factual, widely-published book, academic journals, high-quality generally trusted mainstream publications. Not forums, blogs, social media, fansites, wikis, or other sites with user-generated content. The content of the article must be verifiable.
Independent
We need sources that are independent from the subject of the article. Nothing written by the subject, paid for by the subject, or affiliated with the subject. Not their website, not a press release, not an interview. qcne(talk)19:37, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As I said, please don't upload copyrighted materials. Newspaper clippings are unlikely to be fair-use. We don't have a file-sharing system on pages, but if you want to upload media, you can go to our sister project Wikimedia Commons. Be really careful about what you upload, as we take copyright seriously.
All your citations are hanging off at the end of the page, please could you place them in-line with the text they are referring to? so e.g. it would be Alexander Skwortsow died on 24 November 2010 [8] instead of the [1] to [8] right at the bottom. qcne(talk)18:54, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
