Tommy Smyth[edit]

I reverted your edit about the the cyclist from Northern Ireland named Tommy Smyth to Wikipedia talk:Notability (people) because that page is for the discussion of one of Wikipedia's notability guidelines, not for the submission of new articles. If you want to write about him, first determine if he meets Wikipedia's notability requirements. See Wikipedia:Notability and Wikipedia:Notability (sports)#Cycling for information.

If this person is notable, you will need to write your draft with a neutral point of view and include suitable references from reliable sources which are independent of this person or any team, sponsor, or other organization he is connected with. If he is still alive, or if anyone mentioned in your draft is still alive, read Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons and make sure your draft complies with that policy as well.

The edit which I reverted sounds like it might have been copied from a book or some other source. Wikipedia cannot use material that is copied from other sources except in brief quotations unless that source is out-of-copyright. See Wikipedia:Copyright policy for more details. If you wrote this draft from scratch, then take my confusion as a complement - this is the type of writing I might expect to see in a book or web site that contained mini-biographies of well-known athletes or well-known people from a given country. Unfortunately, due to its non-neutral tone and other issues, this "style" of writing is not acceptable at Wikipedia.

Please consider reading Wikipedia:Your first article before creating your draft, and consider using the Article Wizard to create it. The Article Wizard will take you through several steps and at the end, it will ask you if you want to submit the draft for review or just publish it without it being reviewed. Because you are a new editor, I highly recommend asking for a review. If you do decide to create a draft, use the name Tommy Smyth (cycling). This will avoid confusion as there are already a couple other people with the same name who already have articles. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 15:49, 6 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Replify (September 21)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by SwisterTwister was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Unfortunately, this current Draft wouldn't outweigh and overcome the previous deletions considering this is too suggestive of an advertised business profile and what it involves: Announcements or notices as sources and the content being similar. Notability cannot be inherited and businesses and companies are applied this, as with any subject, therefore without exceptions to any related factors. Essentially, the Draft is too closely based in what the company would host at its social platforms, such as their "About", services, etc. and that's what wouldn't support notability here.

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:Replify and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Replify (October 13)[edit]

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 appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

It continues to read as an ad. The content gives no indication that this company has ever received any coverage, let alone significant coverage, necessary to establish Notability.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Replify 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:Replify, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and save.
