Your submission at Articles for creation: Bill Bucklew (November 8)

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'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). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This reads more like an ad for Bucklew rather than a neutral treatment of the person. There are a bunch of references posted, but need to be connected to the article subject. Do not use his website as a main reference.

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:Bill Bucklew and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Same promotional concerns as AngusWOOF - This reads like a quasi-promotional autobiography. There may be some notability hook in there somewhere based on his walk, but needs to be written neutrally (no "fun facts").

Your submission at Articles for creation: Bill Bucklew (November 10)

Your recent article submission has been rejected. If you have further questions, you can ask at the Articles for creation help desk or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help. The reason left by DGG was: This topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia. The comment the reviewer left was: there is absolutely nothing here that indicates suitability for a WP article. No major accomplishments in business or otherwise. Therefore it is hardly surprising there are no third party reliable substantial sources, just minor notices to his non-notable athletic activities and similar material. They are basically press releases, and that doesn ot show notability

Furthermore, this is essentially a promotional piece to advertise his charities. That's not contnet for an enecycopedia

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because the username, Wbucklew, matches the name of a well-known, living person.

If you are the person represented by this username, please note that the practice of blocking such usernames is to protect you from being impersonated, not to discourage you from editing Wikipedia. You may choose to edit under a new username (see information below), but keep in mind that you are welcome to continue to edit under this username. If you choose to do so, we ask the following:

Please be willing and able to prove your identity to Wikipedia.
Please send an email to info-enwikimedia.org. Be aware that the volunteer response team that handles email is indeed operated entirely by volunteers, and the reply may not be immediate.

If you are not the person represented by this username, you are welcome to choose a new username (see below).

A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive, or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account.

You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines and create the account yourself. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:

Adding {{unblock-un|your new username here}} below. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "Email this user" on their talk page.
At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Wikipedia:Changing username.

If you think that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below this notice, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. Orange Mike | Talk 00:09, 12 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

User:Orangemike, would it not seem asinine that someone would be blocked for having the name of a famous person if the person isn't famous enough for an article? Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Draft:Bill Bucklew. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 04:18, 12 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Superficially, yes; but this account persists in insisting that Bill Bucklew is a famous person. I'm taking them at their word that they, at least, think that he is famous; and if that is so, then they shouldn't be using his name unless they are him. --04:35, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
- - He *was* famous, in January. Can he supply any ongoing interest? —SmokeyJoe (talk) 05:37, 12 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
