Your submission at Articles for creation: Ashley M Lands (June 28)

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

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.

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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Remove all sources that do not mention Ashley Lands (out of 10 sources I accessed, chosen randomly from among the 42 sources in the draft, only 3 mentioned her at all, and those were trivial mentions).

The reason Wikipedia articles include references to sources is that the sources verify the content. To take an example from this draft: the sentence "Lands was identified by the Wilhelmina Brown Agency while visiting a family member in Austin, Texas." in the "Early Life" section has a source pointing at the "About us" page at the Wilhelmina Brown Agency, which doesn't mention Lands, and so is useless as a source. The reader doesn't need a link to the company, they need a source that verifies what the article says!

Shopping websites are not acceptable sources. That includes amazon.com.

Her own website, ashleymlands.com, is used nine times. What a person has to say about herself is not interesting from Wikipedia's point of view – her website can potentially be used to verify some facts, but should be used as little as possible; to show notability, there has to be significant coverage (please follow that link and read the information) in multiple reliable, independent, secondary sources.

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.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Ashley M Lands 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:Ashley M Lands, 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 the next 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.

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, MTVsleuth. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. bonadea contributions talk 20:29, 28 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

IMDB is not a reliable source either (see WP:RS). Can you find reliable secondary sources instead?

Thank you --

I keep researching Wikipedia backlogs for what constitutes reliable sources. However, I find current celebrity pages linked to IMDB over and over! It seems as if there is no type of verification Wikipedia accepts that would apply to Millenial or GenZ Media Personalities --- because so many of these cites revolve around social media, IMDb credits, Interviews about the celebrities (or their celebrity), Youtube programs, or Print ads, I do feel very stuck for all 16 of these entrees.

In the media world, IMDB is the most credible and accurate source of a persons career timeline. I will attempt to shortne this article as much as I can and see if its accepted. I will create a template at the bottom that has all the Television and movie credits, rather than putting it in a article format as I have.

Best,
