Hello, WalterKlaus3! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself!

Danny Lauter

Wikipedia works on ”verifiability, not truth” as a guiding principle. This policy states that “Wikipedia's content is determined by previously published information rather than the beliefs or experiences of its editors. Even if you're sure something is true, it must be verifiable before you can add it. That we have rules for the inclusion of material does not mean Wikipedians have no respect for truth and accuracy, just as a court's reliance on rules of evidence does not mean the court does not respect truth. Wikipedia values accuracy, but it requires verifiability.”

In particular, Wikipedia requires citations to reliable and authoritative third-party sources. Two good sets of Wikipedia guidelines that I have found really useful can be found HERE, regarding verifiability and HERE, regarding the need to maintain a neutral point of view. According to WP:VERIFY, "Any material that needs a source but does not have one may be removed." It also says: "All content must be verifiable. The burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material, and it is satisfied by providing an inline citation to a reliable source that directly supports the contribution."

The page has been rejected twice before for precisely this reason. It's important that you address it by fully referencing every major point with reliable sources.

Danny Lauter moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Danny Lauter, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three, to be safe. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG.(?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 11:55, 15 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion discussion about Danny Lauter

Hello, WalterKlaus3, and welcome to Wikipedia. I edit here too, under the username Bensci54, and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Danny Lauter, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Danny Lauter.

You might like to note that such discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. And, our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Bensci54}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

Hello, @Bensci54:, Thank you for showing interested in this article. I really appreciate your insight. I have conducted months of research on this student athlete and I feel that I have found enough information that demonstrates his credibility. I only have presented a high school photo in the article because I feel that it gets the point across that Danny is a up and coming athlete. Also, with the entire Name, Image, and Likeness culture that athletes are presented with today, I feel that this page creation is important. Throughout his athletic career, Danny has gone viral with millions of views granting him the right to be represented on this platform. Also, he was recruited by a lot of notable schools and I found that some of those schools included Colorado, UCLA, Northwestern, Vanderbilt and the list goes on. He is currently battling for the starting job and has a great change of changing the Hoyas program around. Also, Danny is continuing the tradition of playing Division One Football. Multiple members of his family have played at the highest level. Once again thank you for your help!

Editing with a conflict of interest

Hello, WalterKlaus3. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.
