Student assignments should always be carried out using a course page set up by the instructor. It is usually best to develop assignments in your sandbox. After evaluation, the additions may go on to become a Wikipedia article or be published in an existing article.

Welcome[edit]

Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.

It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and aid your communication with them.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Hiroshi Nagai (November 12)[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 Whispering 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.

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:Hiroshi Nagai and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Draft article[edit]

Hi, I noticed that you moved your draft live, however the article was moved to Draft:Hiroshi Nagai because the article was not seen as being ready for the mainspace. Offhand I agree with this, as the article has several issues.

The first is that the article has no in-line citations. You have a bibliography, but it's posted at the end and there's no way to tell what citation backs up a particular claim.

On this note, the citations aren't really enough to support the artist's notability. One of the sources is Wikipedia, however Wikipedia cannot source itself. I'm also concerned that the source Everything With a Twist would not be seen as a reliable source because there isn't anything on the site about its editorial process or oversight. As such, it would most likely be seen as a self-published source, which are rarely seen as reliable on Wikipedia. Kaput looks more promising because it does have information about its editorial staff, however this by itself wouldn't be able to show notability.

Finally, the article is written in a fairly casual style that needs to be made more formal. Avoid words like "passion" and "inspired" since these tend to be seen as promotional buzzwords and can make the article seem more promotional or casual than it's intended to be.

The article is still at the draft space above, so you can still work on improving this. Let me know if you have any questions by responding on my talk page! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:10, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
