Can I get someone to take a look at citation #9 in Draft:Aviva_Directory ?

I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, but I've fixed this problem a couple of times, only to find that it is blatantly wrong!

When I put them in, the names are Last name 1, First name 1; Last name 2, First name 2; Last name 3, First name 3; etc.

But when it turns read, I go in to look, and the names have all separated themselves. Is that the problem? Ugh!

Your submission at Articles for creation: Aviva Directory (April 5)

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

This article is supported by a bunch of PR websites and marketing nonsense. All of that must go.

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:Aviva Directory 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.

Draft:Aviva Directory concern

Hi there, I'm HasteurBot. I just wanted to let you know that Draft:Aviva Directory, a page you created, has not been edited in 5 months. The Articles for Creation space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for articlespace.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.

You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available at WP:REFUND/G13.

Thank you for your attention. HasteurBot (talk) 01:31, 18 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Aviva Directory

Hello, ObadiahKatz. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Aviva Directory".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. HasteurBot (talk) 08:01, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Mark Willis (politician)

The article Mark Willis (politician) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Subject does not appear to meet Notability for WP:Politician (never an elected State/Federal representative), nor more broadly for WP:BIO. He appears to have been involved in a brief internal spat within the Republican Party as a member of a State Republican Committee, which garnered a handful of reportage at the time, but probably falls under WP:NSUSTAINED. In particular, the initial version of the article pretty much read as a campaign document and included a great deal of unverified personal bio - probably created by the subject or someone closely associated with him. This has been edited out over time for a more Neutral POV and encyclopaedic style, but there's no evidence of notability outside of that brief internal politicking. It does not appear that there's anything worth merging (or redirecting) to another article.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
