Hello person who reads this,
I have created a draft of the fannon character Elyza Lex and submitted it to a review.
Shortly after, I've received a response from MatthewVanitas stating that the article has not been accepted due to the fact that the "submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability."
I would like to ask for your assistance in that matter.
Elyza Lex is a character created by a fandom called the Clexa Fandom, who ship the characters Clarke Griffin and Commander Lexa from the tv show CW The 100.
I have attached and cited several sources that confirm the actual existence of Elyza Lex as seen and portraited entirly by the Clexa fandom and other people who participated in the creation of her.
There are Twitter pages, Instagram pages, Facebook profiles, Tumblr accounts and credible articles that support my claim that this character exists.
Even so, the article about her has not been accepted by one MatthewVanitas.
Can anyone help me find the proper verifiable information "so that there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia"? For more information, please reply to this message and I will answer promptly. Thank you for responding in advance, and may you have a pleasant day.

- On a planet of billions of people, there are lots of things that exist but come nowhere near meeting our standards of notability. Fannon characters are a prime example of that category. This article is better suited for a CW The 100 wiki, but comes nowhere being suitable for a global general information encyclopedia. --Orange Mike | Talk 18:58, 16 October 2016 (UTC)
- Hello, Shaya. Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. Although I was not the reviewer of your submission, I do agree with their assessment. Most of the sources were blogs that do not meet our standards for "reliable sources" (see WP:RS). And that leads me to agree with Orangemike's assessment -- that it is unlikely this fan-created character will ever be demonstrated to have the enduring notability that we expect for the articles. But one of your sources, the one from the Huffington Post, does appear to be useful. I encourage you to see whether any of the material in that source can find a home in the article on Lexa (The 100). You might consider opening up a discussion about it on the talk page for that article, which is here. NewYorkActuary (talk) 19:52, 16 October 2016 (UTC)
