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.

Your submission at Articles for creation: William Curtin (May 31)

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

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. 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:

Not apparent how subject meets WP:NPROF?

Hi Liance, I appreciate your message and the time you took to review my article. However, it appears that your decision is flawed. Prof. Curtin holds a named professorship at a major institution (an Ivy League college), which alone is sufficient to qualify him for an article, see Wikipedia:Notability_(academics). He also received a Guggenheim Fellowship, a prestigious award, explicitly listed in Wikipedia:Notability_(academics) (Criterion 2), which should also be sufficient to qualify him. Furthermore, he is highly cited (h-factor of 90, i.e. extremely high), which also qualifies him.

With regards to independent sources, I had already added a link to Google Scholar for the citations and now I have added a link to the Guggenheim Foundation.

I also added that he was editor-in-chief of a journal and I added a link, which is considered an independent source.

I hope this is sufficient for you to reconsider your decision. Kind regards, Inlandsgeheimdienst (talk) 20:02, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Inlandsgeheimdienst, thanks for pointing that out. Per the feedback you will need to add secondary reliable sources for these statements in the draft if you believe the criteria fits NPROF. You are free to resubmit it once you have made the improvements and another reviewer can pick it up. Regards, ~Liance^talk 21:52, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: William Curtin (June 10)

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

Two profiles from the subject's institutions (primary sources) and two works by him, plus a Google Scholar profile do not meet the requirements for significant coverage (ie: more than passing or routine mentions) about him in reliable, independent, secondary sources (per WP:GNG).

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 after they have been resolved.
