Your submission at Articles for creation: Donald M. Lewis (August 3)

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

sources are primarily primary sources. please find third party sources such as news articles to establish the subject's notability.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Donald M. Lewis and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Lewis, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.

Fails WP:GNG and WP:AUTHOR. You need to supply independent, substantial sources about him. So far, all I see is one book review.

Hello WOuld you please compare the draft that I have made for Donald M. Lewis and the existing Wikipedia page for Prof. Iain Provan? They both work at the same place. I have provided similar links that are provided on the Iain Provan page. I will continue to add further reviews of Donald M. Lewis' work.

AReformedPastor (talk) 01:53, 5 August 2021 (UTC) Thanking you AReformedPastor[reply]

Requesting review

Dear Clarityfiend,

It has been almost two weeks since I resubmitted my draft for review. I have added many more available independent, third party references to the person and his works. Would you please review it. I have also compared my page to several other already published Wikipedia pages of professors from the same institution, and from the same field around the world. Most of them do not seem to have as many independent, third party references as my page has.

Consider for example Iain Provan, David Bebbington, Brian Stanley (historian), Peter Hinchliff, Alan P. F. Sell
