Your submission at Articles for creation: Hollie Findlay (December 2)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Theroadislong 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). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

no citations?

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.

A heads-up

I saw your recent draft of an article on Hollie Findlay was declined.

The wikipedia has a bias against considering young people, particularly young women, measure up to its notability criteria.

My advice? Move your draft to a wiki that is not affiliated with the WMF, that has looser inclusion standards; keep it up to date there; and then if Hollie passes some milestone that makes her more likely to meet the criteria here, consider porting the article back here, then.

Non-WMF wikis? http://en.wikialpha.org is one I have used.

You can contact me if you need more help.
