Your submission at Articles for creation: John Simpson Owen (November 7)

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 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 people 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 draft has no footnotes. The one reference is not about the subject but about his father.

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:John Simpson Owen and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Hello Pjowen57 -- A belated welcome to Wikipedia! I have accepted your draft above as the subject's notability appears clear, however more sources (and more inline citations to them) would be very helpful. Books, magazine articles, academic journals, national newspapers and the like are ideal; they need not be available online. I note in particular that "His most lasting achievement was transforming a small laboratory into the world-renowned Serengeti Scientific Research Institute" is supported by a source that appears to fail to mention Owen.

I note that you share a surname with the subject; if you are related then you must declare this conflict of interest. See the instructions at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest for details. Good luck! Espresso Addict (talk) 03:21, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
