Your submission at Articles for creation: Rebecca Holcombe (June 29)[edit]

Your recent article submission has been rejected. If you have further questions, you can ask at the Articles for creation help desk or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help. The reason left by Robert McClenon was: This topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia. The comment the reviewer left was: This draft has been Rejected by a reviewer in the Articles for Creation review process. DO NOT resubmit this draft or attempt to resubmit this draft or prepare or submit a draft that is substantially the same as this draft without discussing the reasons for the rejection. You may request a discussion with the rejecting reviewer, or you may request a discussion with the community at the Teahouse. A discussion will not necessarily agree to a resubmission.

It should be noted that the reviewer has not decided that the topic is not notable. An article on the topic may be accepted in the future. However, there is no reason to think that this draft will become an article, and there is evidence that this draft will never become an article. If there is to be an article on this topic, this draft must first be blown up and started over.

If this draft is resubmitted without discussion and without starting it over, or if an attempt is made to resubmit this draft or an equivalent draft, without addressing the reasons for the Rejection by starting over, a partial block or a topic-ban may be requested against the submitting editor.

You may ask for advice about Rejection at the Teahouse.

There are at least two problems with this draft. The first is that it is being tendentiously resubmitted without addressing the issues identified by the reviewers. It was declined on 22 June because the references were badly formatted, being split into two lists, and one of the lists included Facebook. On 29 June the references are split into two lists, and one of the lists includes Facebook. This is not responsive.

The second problem is that the most recent edits to this draft are conflict of interest edits. They are either by Rebecca Holcombe, who is the subject of this draft, or they are by someone who is impersonating Rebecca Holcombe (which violates Wikipedia policy).

The subject of this draft probably satisfies general notability. However, this draft will not become an article until it is blown up and started over. Do not resubmit this draft without discussion, but discussion may or may not result in clearance to submit a draft.
