Your submission at Articles for creation: Tim Curnow (April 19)

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 does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

The comment the reviewer left was:

On the one hand, the subject likely satisfies biographical notability. However, on the other hand, this draft has serious tone issues and appears to be written to praise its subject rather than to describe him neutrally. Also, the author almost certainly has a conflict of interest, which is probably that they are working for Curnow somehow. That association must be declared in accordance with the conflict of interest policy.

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:Tim Curnow 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:Tim Curnow, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
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: Tim Curnow (November 24)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by AngusWOOF 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 submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

The comment the reviewer left was:

It is not clear which of the offine sources (which is all of them) meet WP:GNG. There's evidence that Tim is Allen Curnow's son, but it appears a lot of them are passing mentions, as they are out of books by some other author. So that can only confirm that he perhaps edited some of those author's books. Please indicate which of these sources give detailed coverage on the subject. Note Allen Curnow may be in the Dictionary of New Zealand Biography but Tim does not have a similar entry. Still waiting for a neutral Wikipedia editor to scrub this for tone.

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.
