Request on 14:19:50, 19 March 2022 for assistance on AfC submission by Andylanterman

Which sources are not reliable? Every source I've listed is a direct link to the track or person's personal website. Can't get much more reliable than that.

This process is so exhausting. I change what you ask and then something else is wrong.

@Andylanterman You have two references. One is a user rating site, and is of no use to you. The other seems to show that it exists. Ok, it exists. But youi have not verified notability. I exist. I am not notable. Yoiu exist. Are you notable?

We require references from significant coverage about the topic of the article, and independent of it, in multiple secondary sources which are WP:RS please. See WP:42. Please also see WP:PRIMARY which details the limited permitted usage of primary sources and WP:SELFPUB which has clear limitations on self published sources. Providing sufficient references, ideally one per fact referred to, that meet these tough criteria is likely to allow this article to remain. Lack of them or an inability to find them is likely to mean that the topic is not suitable for inclusion, certainly today. Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 14:24, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

- Draft:Blanche Brenton Carey (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hi,

I've had a draft entry declined for Blanche Brenton Carey because "it is not adequately supported by reliable sources". I have included many sources and published citations and so I'm a bit confused. Is it because there hasn't been a book written about her? There have been many published articles written by her and others about her which I've mentioned; are they not reliable sources?

Any help would be really appreciated.

Thank you,

@Jhirak.camel The challenge you have is that large swathes of facts that you assert have no references. It is that simple. Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 16:48, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

OK, so for example I have stated that Blanche was a missionary therefore I should add a citation to the published article, is this what you mean?

Thanks Jhirak.camel (talk) 16:57, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
