Your submission at Articles for creation: Byron Davis (April 17)

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

IMDb cannot be used as a source it is not reliable (user edited).

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:Byron Davis and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Byron Davis, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 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.

Hi Fakescientist

Thank you for confirming this article, I was beginning to wonder if I would ever get this right!

I have some quick questions if you have a moment. I am a film student with a passion for film in South Africa and looking to update wikipedia on this seeing as African knowledge is lacking.

Could you help me out on the following:

1) I had an article which was not accepted (boo) because it didn't seem to be relevant because it did not contain significant coverage. The person is well known here but that didn't seem to matter. So how do I overcome this for that and future pages? How many links do I need to have an article be accepted and be of significant coverage?

2) With the other article I might have gone overboard and grabbed every single link I could find. This seems to have gotten a stamp which says that the article is not from a neutral point of view because I wanted it to look authoritative. So for this, how do I make sure this doesn't happen again in the future and how do I make this and other articles more neutral? Should I get another person as a secondary source to assist or should I reword these things?

Thank you again for confirming this article and watch this space for more! Shelly Took (talk) 09:34, 10 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi guys, please let me know what I can do to make this article better. Not sure why this would be marked for deletion. The guy won an Emmy award. Seems like someone who should be noted. Please let me know what I can do to improve the article? Shelly Took (talk) 19:21, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
