Your submission at Articles for creation: Joseph Strickland (film director) (September 5)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Bilorv 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 is not reliable as its content is user-generated (mostly). The first two sources are interviews so, while reliable and worth including, do not contribute towards notability. The third is good but multiple sources independent of the subject are needed to show notability. More reliable source coverage of Strickland and/or Dual Mania is needed.

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:Joseph Strickland (film director) 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:Joseph Strickland (film director), 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, 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 Bilorv. Okay, so I've been quite ill and unable to respond to messages. I'm so sorry. I understand about the draft. I figured I didn't have enough sufficient sources, but because draft was a snub I went ahead and submitted anyway. Will be back with this topic when I have more sources to cite.

August 2022

Hello VeniceDreams. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:VeniceDreams. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=VeniceDreams|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. PRAXIDICAE🌈 19:54, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am not being compensated for my edits. I have not received ANY compensation from clients or otherwise. I only submitted the article for creation as a courtesy. NO ONE had any knowledge of my actions. But it is still discerning to see other topics that do not have significant coverage, or sufficient references, based on Wikipedia's guidelines, get moved into the article space. Therefore, it is discerning to see obvious double standards being applied to certain articles for creation, especially for people of color. Thank you.
