Your submission at Articles for creation: Archie L. League (January 10)[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 Robert McClenon was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of people, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), 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 the reviewer left was:

This draft is still in need of more references to reliable sources.

This draft lacks a proper lede sentence.

This draft has a breezy informal tone that is not used in Wikipedia, which is an encyclopedia.

Please ask for advice at the Teahouse on how to reword a draft in a formal neutral tone.

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.

Citing References[edit]

There are no references available for the man (Archie L. League) anywhere to be found on the internet. He was such an early radio pioneer in his field that there is literally no information on him. There are lots of references to his son Archie W. League (first aircraft controller) than there is about this man.

Would it be possible to publish a large picture of the single-page feature article from 1937? This article is really the only surviving article done on him. and had to be obtained as a scan from the Memphis Library microfilm department.

Thanks for all your input.

What would be the general consensus regarding inclusion of some of the material in an article such as this one?

Since this is a first hand account of life in the Klondike during one of the most exciting (and challenging) times of that era. Some interesting information on "Soapy" Smith is in there too. I don't know if you got a chance to read the whole newspaper article.

Thanks in advance,

Deletion[edit]

Would if be possible to reinstate the page I was working on. I can't seem to find it in the deletion log nor a reason for the deletion. If you check the user talk page people in the community were generally helpful and somewhat encouraging that I could change the format to a less "breezy" writing style. I have since found more reliable sources and would like to add those as well. The code was G8 which indicates a link to a non-existant page and was done by RHayworth. I'm not sure what the problem was since G8 is a rather broad catagory and no other explanation was given by RHayworth.

Thanks in advance,
