- No draft specified!
My draft Article has been denied submission two times and I was told to improve the reference. I'd like to please confirm if the subject has to necessary be featured on BBC, FT or Forbes to be acceptable as an article? Thank you

- Hello, Fiyin. Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. In order to demonstrate that an article for the subject is appropriate, you need to demonstrate that he has received in-depth coverage from reliable sources that are independent of him. These sources do not necessarily have to be the BBC or Forbes or the Financial Times, but you have the right idea when you cite them as examples. Before posting here, I took a look at your submission and did not find anything that would even begin to demonstrate "notability" (as we use that word here on Wikipedia). Instead, I saw passing mentions, links to networking sites, an interview, and a report on statements made by the subject at a conference. None of this rises to the level of the "in-depth" or "substantial" coverage that will be needed. On a different note, I see that you described the subject's children as "adorable". I have no doubt that those children exist and are indeed adorable. But the question is -- how do you know that? Do you have some close relationship with the subject? If so, you should read our conflict-of-interest guidelines. I hope this response has been helpful. NewYorkActuary (talk) 17:26, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

I am creating my first article and need to understand how to create hyperlink for several related Wikipedia pages (topics).
