Your submission at Articles for creation: Derek Pope (May 14)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Sulfurboy 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 music-related topics). 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.

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:Derek Pope 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:Derek Pope, 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.

TFA vandal

Hey WAMB, FYI: if you see an IP user vandalise the Today's Featured Article in a style like this, don't warn them, just report them to WP:AIV as the TFA vandal. An unknown person has been vandalising TFA since 1-2 weeks ago every day around 2:00-5:00 (UTC). Deny them any recognition by just reverting them and having them blocked. Trolls love warnings. --MrClog (talk) 12:38, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the heads-up! Might you have a list of exceptions in which a warning need not be handed out, and block immediately? WhoAteMyButter (📬) 21:39, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There is a list of long-term abusers although this one is not on there. However, don't bother looking at the list - if you need to know any of them, you'll learn it by experience. --MrClog (talk) 22:32, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Clarification

I think I see where you were confused. You may have thought that I was this IP because both my IP and that IP start with "2601". I'm just doing anti-vandalism patrolling and that's how I came across the attacks from 60.242.199.114. Anyhow, it's probably best if we just ignore the trolls and let them get themselves blocked. :-) 2601:1C0:1:2991:B8E5:4DEF:55C5:3438 (talk) 06:15, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Their IP is 60.242. Yours is 2601. They made an attack on a page, you undid it. Unless IPs are displaying wrongly for me, this is really confusing. WhoAteMyButter (📬│✏️) 06:17, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oh well. They just got blocked. WhoAteMyButter (📬│✏️) 06:18, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
