Your submission at Articles for creation: Stephen Kelly (March 8)

[edit]
Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Hasteur was:
We don't need example sentences because this is not Prime Minister's Questions time. Please refactor (or remove) the inflamitory content to present a neutral dispasionate description.

Examples: "£20bn is equivalent to more than 4.7m primary school places; or enough to fund 700,000 nurses’ salaries."

Also this will need to have a Disambiguating identifier (like British Businessman) to help seperate from the other Stephen Kellys.
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.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Stephen Kelly (April 2)

[edit]
Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by SwisterTwister was:
This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of people and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.
 The comment they left was:
Still questionable for solid independent notability, focus with adding any additional amount of in-depth third-party news sources overall, and not press releases and trivial passing mentions.
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.
