Your submission at Articles for creation: Mikhail Lebedev (neuroscientist) (January 23)

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

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Completely unsourced draft . Please add some reliable sources.

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.

January 2021

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. Kpg jhp jm 01:20, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Article post

Please stop spamming so many editors' talk pages with requests that they work on your draft articles. It's inappropriate. And why is it so urgent that Draft:Mikhail Lebedev (neuorscientist) be nominated for good or featured article within 30 days? Schazjmd (talk) 01:25, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Here is a very famous neuroscientist who gets a lot of news coverage. But there are no articles about him on Wikipedia at all.

Posting your demand for someone else to work on your article on multiple project and WP talk pages is not appropriate either. Please stop doing that. Schazjmd (talk) 01:50, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I will stop. Is the article approvable now? — Preceding unsigned comment added by LotteryGeek (talk • contribs)

Please always sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). I am not an article reviewer, however I doubt that it will be approved in the state that it is in. Your draft is not ready for mainspace yet. Please look at other articles to get an idea of what an article should look like and what information it should contain. Your first article may offer you some useful tips. You might also find User:Nick Moyes/Easier Referencing for Beginners to be helpful. Good luck. Schazjmd (talk) 02:04, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You said you would stop, but then you post comments such as this on Schazjmd's talk page soon after. You seem very adamant about having this article finished by some sort of deadline to the point where you expect others to drop what they are doing and do this for you. Is it because you are being paid to write about this subject? If so, you must disclose that information. --Kinu ^t/_c 02:30, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I am not being paid. I am not skilled enough of a Wikipedia editor for anyone to pay yet. But I do wish to build a portfolio and want to start having a couple of good and featured articles. Otherwise, I will not have any credibility on here. Do you have articles on how to become a credible Wikipedian SOON?

About writing articles

I saw your post on many people's talk pages, and so I'm going to respond here to clear up some misconceptions you may have about how Wikipedia works.

First, please stop going to so many people's talk pages and asking them to work on particular articles. Wikipedia is written by volunteers, who write articles about whatever they find interesting. There's also no deadline; we don't urgently need to write articles. This is, in part, because it takes a long time to write articles. Writing your first good or featured article is going to take quite a bit of time.

Also, Wikipedia doesn't strive to have an article about everything and everyone, but only those things/people that have enough information available about them to make a decent article (for the details, see the general notability guideline).
