Clan Watson moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Clan Watson, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

It would be useful to know what information you deem to be unverifiable. ScottishWatsons (talk) 11:07, 15 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Scottish is a nationality and Watson is a surname. Neither are a company, group, organisation, product, service or website. The username comes from my interest in history and genealogy, particularly around the Watson family. I can't see how this is in breach of any Wikipedia Policy.

Watsons is plural, which therefore clearly refers to a group.

Besides, when your username is ScottishWatsons, and you have submitted a draft on the Clan Watson, this very much implies that you have a connection with, and hence a possible conflict of interest (COI) with regards to, the subject. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:35, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Clan Watson (April 18)

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

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. 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:

Per WP:GNG, we need to see significant coverage in multiple independent and reliable secondary sources. Offline sources must be cited in a way that makes it easy or at least possible to verify them; see WP:OFFLINE.

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:Clan Watson and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
