I hope this helps

Hello, here are some basic guidelines and policies regarding creating and editing articles. I hope this helps.

Please read WP:COI, WP:NPOV, and WP:OR, WP:WEIGHT. (regarding neutrality)
Then read WP:N, and for biographies read WP:BIO, WP:BLP. For other types of article see WP:SNG; here is a list of SNGs Category:Wikipedia notability guidelines (regarding notability).
Finally read: WP:V, WP:IS, WP:RS, and WP:SIGCOV (regarding sourcing).

Any questions you have can be answered at the WP:TEAHOUSE. In the future consider submitting new articles at WP:AfC, they will review your articles and provide helpful feedback.

I hope this helps. // Timothy :: talk 19:01, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for these links. Average-cyanobacteria (talk) 19:04, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The primary problem with the current sourcing for the above article is that the sources need to be independent sources WP:IS with significant coverage WP:SIGCOV of the subject. If the sources are connected to the subject in any way, they fail WP:IS, and they need to address the subject directly and indepth WP:SIGCOV. Many biographies fail this (this is covered in WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS.

The subject may also pass under WP:NACADEMIC but the article will still need independent reliable sources per this guideline. // Timothy :: talk 19:15, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
