Your submission at Articles for creation: Susan Winter (April 24)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Nearlyevil665 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:

There are currently tons of primary sources that looks like WP:CITEKILL. Needs reliable secondary sources to attest for notability. With the references it is unclear how the subject meets WPGNG. A trivial fact such as the subject being a relationship expert doesn't require six separate references. Please see WP:CS and feel free to resubmit once you feel you've responded to these concerns. The more secondary sources you can provide that mention the subject in a non-trivial manner, the better.

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:Susan Winter and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Susan Winter, 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.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Writing on userpage/article denied[edit]

Hello DenverBallZ, please keep in mind that the proper space for addressing other users is their user talk page, instead of editing their user pages. As for your comment, no, I cannot provide a detailed source assessment table for all individual references for the denied article as it has been referenced-bombed by low-quality sources. The issue of WP:OVERCITE has been previously noted by another reviewer as well. Also, when communicating with users on Wikipedia, please remember to treats other users with consideration and respect, even if you disagree with their judgement. nearlyevil 665 04:54, 25 April 2021 (UTC) Let me ask you again. Did you visit the links cited or did you just act with presumption? It is courteous to make judgements based on evidence and not presumption. I see that you failed to cite many of the subjects' pages you created. Based on that evidence, would you like them flagged? DenverBallZ (talk) 05:37, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Denver, yes, I did a manual check and failed to find multiple reliable independent sources with significant non-trivial coverage of the subject as per WP:GNG. You are always at the liberty to resubmit without making any substantial adjustments, if you consider it the proper thing to do. I would strongly suggest you address WP:OVERCITE. As noted earlier, you don't need six references to a bundle of primary and secondary sources for a trivial sentence. Your lead section, for example, currently has a total of 16 references for three sentences. Five references out of these sixteen are to Amazon and the subject's personal shop page, which could be perceived as using Wikipedia for advertising one's products. There is a general consensus as per WP:RSP that this is unnecessary and that the authors' names and ISBNs are sufficient. As for my articles - just like any other user on Wikipedia you are free to nominate any article for deletion in line with WP:AFD. Please do bear in mind that most of my articles are on rugby union players the notability of which are subject to specific notability guidelines, specifically WP:NRU, and the references presented are sufficient to establish the following WP:NRU criteria: "A rugby union person is presumed notable if they have played for, coached, or administered: A "High Performance Union" at any time or another test nation during an appearance at the men's Rugby World Cup". If you disagree about the notability of any of my articles, I only welcome you to make the nomination. In fact, I have a separate section on my userpage with articles (currently only one) of mine that had been properly tagged for deletion. Best of luck and hope you enjoy your stay on Wikipedia! nearlyevil 665 07:27, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
