Hi! Thank you for reviewing my article draft and providing feedback. I am hoping for additional help, thank you in advance. I have read the rules pertaining to secondary sources and feel I have done a good job of using secondary sources in this article, including:

- the research paper (footnote #2) from: Baptiste, Donna. "Design Your Life: An Evaluation of Participants' Experiences and Perspectives". - references to noteworthy outlets, venues, and institutions where she has taught and contributed including references to A&E television special, Dr. Oz TV special, to a federal agency, to several universities, etc.

I have the following references to add in a hope to improve the notability:

- an article from Success Magazine naming her book #2 in self help for April: http://www.success.com/article/our-favorite-personal-development-books-april-2017 - a link to the Jenny McCarthy Show on SiriusXM on which Lauren appeared as guest in April - links to 10+ podcasts on which Lauren appeared as a guest Jan-April - link to blog written by Dr. Mark Hyman about Lauren and the effectiveness of her coaching method

Will these additions help the notability? Thank you in advance. Jill Jill Beauchesne Alban 20:45, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi DavidWestT, please have a Second look at the links attached to the article. Not only that they are on major (German) websites, they are also sorely about the device. Therefore, I think your definition of notability in this case is wrong. The chancellor of Germany has introduced the device – you simply can't get more attention! Probably you should re-check this! Best Myjnanne

Wikipedia requires significant, in-depth coverage of the subject. DavidWestT (talk) 17:17, 15 October 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I understand your comment and I have to agree. I am not trying to get the bloke elected as Pope or anything :) so, as far as I am concerned, the article can be deleted... Thank you J.JoãoMM (talk) 21:44, 15 October 2017 (UTC)

Greetings. Thank you for the review. I would like to know how the article I created is lacking any sort of substantial notability? The entire article includes various 3rd party references of the topics notability. I have read all the guidelines for what is considered notability, etc. and it seems that I am still being rejected. I am requesting a more in depth response to why I continue to get rejected, after following the specific guidelines. Thank you in advance.

Right. Those sources need to be "reliable sources", showing clear, independent editorial oversight. As Twitter and various reviews and first hand interviews lack editorial oversight, these are not reliable sources. Lacking reliable sources, we don't have notability.DavidWestT (talk) 02:28, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

OK. Twitter may not considered reliable, that makes sense but what about the sources the interviews are on? Complex, GQ Magazine, OkayPlayer and Genius? All which are major sites. Aside from those sources, there are 3rd party sources that I would think, are in fact, reliable such as, Okayplayer and Genius, in terms of articles written by the subject in question. Thank you again.

Rishi Shori has been named in a national newspaper as one of only 36 black, asian and minority ethnic (BAME) people in a list, which names the UK's 1000 most powerful people. I believe this should meet the threshold for being a notable person.

Hi,

I am trying to find credible sources online but most of the ones I have are from newspaper articles or magazines. Would those be accepted?
