Your submission at Articles for creation: Steve Rowell (April 23)

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

The content of this submission includes material that does not meet Wikipedia's minimum standard for inline citations. Please cite your sources using footnotes. For instructions on how to do this, please see Referencing for beginners. Thank you.

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:Steve Rowell 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:Steve Rowell, 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.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Steve Rowell (May 11)

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

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

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:Steve Rowell and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Steve Rowell (August 30)

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

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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This now consists of a single, short paragraph, and a long and mostly unsourced list (running from newest to oldest, whereas it should run from oldest to newest). How is he notable? We're told that "His work with the Center for Land Use Interpretation from 2000-2013 helped to define his practice as well as his role in the non-commercial art community in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, and beyond since 2000." Well then, what have independent, reliable sources said about his practice and his role? And which of the criteria of WP:ARTIST does he meet?

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.

Hello, Foreststhereof. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Steve Rowell".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion.

Draft:Steve Rowell

I have deleted this draft under WP:CSD#G11 as a direct copyright violation of https://steverowell.com/Bio-1. You can not take content found somewhere on the web and copy/paste it here, even if you modify it a little bit. This is a copyright violation and is not acceptable here on Wikipedia. Further, I am concerned that your only purpose in being here on Wikipedia is to get an article about Steve Rowell published on this project. Starting back three years ago now, your only edits are attempts to get this article into existence. As such, I am playing a conflict of interest warning below. Please head it, especially in regards to paid editing. If you have questions, let me know. Thank you, --Hammersoft (talk) 17:18, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
