Hello, Manatees2023. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page User:Mr Dr Wolverine/sandbox, 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, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} 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.

The subject that you have written about is Ted Oakes. You have edited it in very close sequence to another editor, Mr Dr Wolverine. The fact that you and that editor both edited their sandbox minutes after it had been created, and recognizing how promotional the content is, points to a high likelihood of you and that editor coordinating to promote Ted Oakes. —Alalch E. 17:17, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Manatees2023, welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. Your editing pattern indicates that you may be using multiple accounts or coordinating editing with people outside Wikipedia, such as Staybipedal (talk · contribs). Our policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow this, and users who misuse multiple accounts may be blocked from editing. If you operate multiple accounts directly or with the help of another person, please disclose these connections. Thank you. DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:09, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

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'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:

IMDb is not a reliable source, yet accounts for half the references. At least two of the sources cited do not work, and some don't mention Oakes at all. The 'Education' section is entirely unreferenced. None of the sources meet the WP:GNG standard for notability.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Ted Oakes (August 17)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Bearcat 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 is based far, far too heavily on primary sources that are not support for notability. That is, you do not establish a filmmaker as notable by sourcing his films to IMDb or other directories, their own production websites on the self-published websites of their own studio, press releases self-published by the network that aired the program, or streaming copies of the films, as proof that they exist -- you establish a filmmaker as notable by sourcing his films to third-party reliable source coverage about the films by journalists in newspapers, magazines or books, as proof that the films got media attention.
Notability is not a question of "did he do stuff?", it's a question of "how much third-party media attention has been paid to the stuff he did in media, in order to establish that his work has been externally validated as significant by somebody other than himself?" But this is still referenced far too heavily to primary sources that aren't support for notability, and features very little of the WP:GNG-worthy coverage and analysis about his work that is actually required.
