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

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article.

Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

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:David B. Levy and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Your submission at Articles for creation: David B. Levy (September 20)

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

The content of this submission includes material that does not meet Wikipedia's minimum standard for inline citations. Please cite your sources using footnotes. For instructions on how to do this, please see Referencing for beginners. Thank you.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Fails to establish what the individual is actually notable for. Noting YouTube, LinkedIn, blog sites (WordPress etc) and Amazon.com are not acceptable or reliable independent sources. Is highly promotional in tone.

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 there,

I am collaborating with the subject of the article to help get his contributions documented. Can you help us understand how we could restructure this document to get it published (if eligible). In discussing this information with David, he emphasized that he explored a wide depth of subjects without sacrificing depth, experienced a distinguished career in library science, had a prolific output of research publications, books, and book-reviews, is an autodidact, and has 18 articles published in AJL proceedings and 10 books in Judaica Librarianship.

Would it be fair to say that, in order to get an article on Wikipedia published, we would need to actually explore the topics in which he published and what was notable regarding these publications?

Please let us know so we could add sufficient structure to the article. PatMeleGrad (talk) 15:59, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
