Your submission at Articles for creation: William Fifield (April 6)

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

See Referencing for Beginners.

Please revise this draft with properly formatted references before resubmitting. If you need advice on how to format references, the Teahouse is a good place to ask for advice.

This draft has no references. Notability cannot be established without references.

Do not resubmit this draft without references. You can ask for advice about references at the Teahouse.
