Your submission at Articles for creation: John Hall (Playwright) (October 10)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by S0091 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.

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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

His papers are not a reliable source (see WP:SELFPUB), nor are photos. What is needed are sources that have written about him.

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.

Welcome!

Hello, SkylarWoodward, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

Draft:John Hall (English playwright) - note about using his letters, etc.

Hi Skylar, I add a citation needed "tag" to a paragraph that reads as if the content may be from his letters or an interview. You can use those but you just want to clear that it is coming from him, so you can state something like "According to Hall's letters...", then cite the publication. You have done a great job with finding other publications about him and his work. S0091 (talk) 19:32, 16 October 2021 (UTC) Hello again, thanks very much. I've been searching for more references. I take on board what you're saying - that nothing should be there that isn't referenced. That's my aim, though it's slow and meticulous work. Thanks again for your interested and advice.

Speedy deletion nomination of Georges Du Fresne

Hello, SkylarWoodward

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Georges Du Fresne for deletion, because it seems to be inappropriate for a variety of reasons. For more details please see the notice on the article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!
