Your submission at Articles for creation: Public Banking (August 10)

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

Thank you for your submission, but the subject of this article already exists in Wikipedia. You can find it and improve it at Public bank instead.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Thanks for your detailed contribution! A great deal of the content in this draft looks to be suitable for merging into Public bank—an article that is need of expansion. But before you add any content there, here are some things to be mindful of:

Be as specific as possible, and use encyclopedic tone. Don't generalise or extrapolate. Avoid using vague and relative words like *many* or *often* unless you quantify them soon after (with reliable sources). The sentence "25 percent of banks worldwide are publicly-owned" is great because it's specific and direct. In this case, however, the source is Google Docs, which is not usable.

Perhaps the primary issue to address is neutrality. The purpose of the article is not to argue for or against the value of public banking, just to describe it. "History of public banking" looks to be the most neutral section in the article—and it's organised by nation and era. Nice work! The least neutral parts are the advantages and criticisms sections. These types of sections go against Wikipedia's policy on neutral point of view. It's appropriate to report an authority's view on a subject, but these should be integrated into the article, and not grouped into polarised sections (cf. WP:BALANCE and WP:VALID). Instead of generalising with words like proponents and critics, name the specific authority who expresses a view, and report the view.

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:Public Banking 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.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Charles Lenchner (January 3)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by CNMall41 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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Some of these references are written by Lenchner or are only brief mentions of his work. There needs to be in-depth coverage.

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.

Your submission at Articles for creation: John G. Hampton (August 28)

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

The comment the reviewer left was:

The two news sources I see that are both independent and significant coverage are both about Hampton being hired to be CEO of the Mackenzie. Most of the citations in the "career" section confirm the information but don't show that Hampton is "notable" for them, ie, that Hampton's work was covered in significant detail by an independent, secondary source. Can you show that their art or career was covered more widely? If not, they're still at WP:TOOSOON, but will almost certainly be notable in the future.

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.
