Hi Robert, I messaged you before, but got no reply. I made the changes you suggested for the Chiaki Hara page so I was wondering what was happening? Regards, M

First article - hoping to have it approved. Lots of sources and connections to existing Wiki articles. Mc twizzle (talk) 20:34, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You haven't yet submitted your draft article. It has external links in the article body. They are not permitted. Robert McClenon (talk) 21:38, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Why was my article about Stevedore Skye declined?

Your draft has no references. Robert McClenon (talk) 21:39, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Steveschuff. David.moreno72 explained why in his message to you on your talk page, and on the top of the draft itself:
The content of this submission includes material that does not meet Wikipedia's minimum standard for inline citations. Please cite your sources using footnotes. For instructions on how to do this, please see Referencing for beginners. Thank you.
Basically, your article has no references, so readers have no way checking that any of it is true. Another problem is that there is nothing to indicate that Skye meets the notability criteria for musicians. Wikipedia does not include articles about everyone and everything, so you need to provide (multiple) references independent of Skye and his work that show he is particularly noteworthy.
