Draft:Jason Blazakis
| Submission declined on 8 September 2023 by Timtrent (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. I am not persuaded that the referencing demonstrates notability. Indeed, I feel there is a misunderstanding about referencing.
We require significant coverage which is about Blazakis in a in multiple independent reliable sources, something I do not see. I also see the word "expert" used. This requires citation in and of itself. Assuming the creating editor also to be Blazakis one wonders if he is standing too close to the topic to be impartial.

Comment: Previously, a prior version was deleted: "18:11, 5 March 2021 Primefac talk contribs deleted page Draft:Jason Blazakis (G12: Unambiguous copyright infringement of https://www.middlebury.edu/institute/people/jason-blazakis/)"I have chosen to redact the copyright violations in this version.I have not checked whether Blazakis passes WP:NACADEMIC or any of the other notability criteria.You must write this in your own words. If you happen to have written those words elsewhere and they have been published, please visit WP:VRT and give them the details. But ideally do not write about yourself. If you are a notable person in a Wikipedia sense, have patience. Someone will write about you. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 07:08, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: The draft cites primary (and mostly close) sources, which cannot establish notability per WP:GNG.If some special notability (e.g. WP:NACADEMIC) is being asserted instead, please specify clearly on what grounds, and what evidence supports this assertion.
