| Submission declined on 24 July 2024 by Theroadislong (talk). 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. Declined by Theroadislong 3 months ago. | |
Comment: In a Wikipedia article, and particularly a biography about a living person, everything should have a reliable source. In this draft, most of the information has no source; for instance the claim in the introduction that he has won awards, and the entire Early life section. Using reliable, independent, and secondary sources to support the information in the draft also serves to show that the person is notable.The sources in the draft are unfortunately not very strong. Including a reference to a production he has been in is fine in order to verify his roles, but imdb is not a source that can be used in Wikipedia (see WP:IMDB for more info on that). And again, there's a lot of info without a source in the career section. To take one example, this source does not contain the information that Hurl was Lynch's first role. This source looks like it is intended to verify the information about Lynch's meeting David Bolger and working with him – but the link leads to a webpage that doesn't even mention Lynch's name!You might find this advice page helpful, in particular the "Relevance" section.The second reason for declining the draft is the tone, which is not quite neutral enough. Phrasing like "gained plaudits" and "much sought after" is promotional and not informational, and please avoid including superlatives about the companies, films, producers etc that Lynch has worked with. bonadea contributions talk 19:34, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
