Your submission at Articles for creation: Syed Abdullah Shah (July 30)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by KylieTastic 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:Syed Abdullah Shah 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.

yeah i see, but this is a Pakistan National Team player, he will also feature in the upcoming U23 Qualifiers. I can find and add more sources, if required. Onyru (talk) 22:46, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. In the past just playing at national level was deemed notable (hence a lot of existing poor articles) but that was changed a few years back and not WP:GNG is applied (also see Wikipedia:Notability (sports)). So basically now all such bios require significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources to show notability. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 08:33, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Well, he is currently *the only* pakistan born international who made it to clubs outside Pakistan (Maledives). His Name unfortunately is very common, so searching for him yield a lot of articles - but few in football. I want to resort to the rest of the team, who are by no means more covered or relevant. In fact Abdullah Shah is one of the most important players or the team. As i told: i can get more sources, if required. But in general: offcourse this is a highly relevant profile. He will be a Teamplayer for the next 10 years. In Pakistan literaly *millions* know his name........... Onyru (talk) 09:10, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Onyru and KylieTastic: Hi, I just had a look at your draft and made some fixes. Try resubmitting again, should be fine now. Also ideally the title should Abdullah Shah (footballer, born 2001) per WP:COMMONNAME. Cheers and good editing 82.6.13.166 (talk) 10:53, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have moved to Draft:Abdullah Shah (footballer) and 82.6.13.166 has re-submitted. KylieTastic (talk) 13:11, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
