Your submission at Articles for creation: Gary Allen, runner (May 30)[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 Velella was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of people and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), 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:

No explicit references have been provided although some text links to external web-sites but it is unclear whether or how these assert any notability for the subject. Please read WP:GNG and, if possible, please structure any references in a way consistent with other Wikipedia articles so that it is possible to work out what is being used to attest to notability

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:Gary Allen, runner 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.

Autobiography[edit]

It looks very much as if you are writing an autobiography. Please read WP:Autobiography to understand why that might be a very bad idea. Thanks Velella ^{Velella Talk} 16:24, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is a notable submission not currently available on wiki Thank you Thank You Thanks Garyallen262 (talk) 23:03, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Well, no it isn't. Please read WP:GNG for an overview of what constitutes notability. For what it is worth, I have fixed up one of your references to make it look like a Wikipedia article but as this appears to be an interview reported by a local source, it wouldn't, in my view, count towards notability. May I suggest that you update all your refs so that the next reviewer has an easier job. Articles that are easy to read with easily understood references have a better chance of success than those that are poorly structured. Velella ^{Velella Talk} 23:15, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The comment the reviewer left was:

Still nothing to suggest the needing convincing substance for independent notability, I would not resubmit as there's unlikely better.

I have fixed the article per Delta13C Instructions and input below. Symbol opinion vote.svg Comment: This guy appears to be notable given the amount of coverage he has received. At first I thought the article was suffering from being notable for one event, but then noticed that media sources have covered him for other achievements. My misinterpretation was to blame on the very poor referencing style and organization. Please fix these issues promptly; read this. Delta13C (talk) 06:34, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
