Your submission at Articles for creation: Ralph Gordon Stanton (March 26)[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 Topcipher was:

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

The comment the reviewer left was:

The article seems to be heavily paraphrased from the following link -

Ralph Gordon Stanton[edit]

An almost universal mistake in creation of biographical articles is this: The reasons why the person is so notable that there should be a Wikipedia article about the person should appear at the outset, almost always in the first paragraph and not unusually in the first one or two sentences. One shouldn't just list events of the person's life chronologically so that the person reading the whole article will ultimately find out how the person is notable. Could you edit this article accordingly? Michael Hardy (talk) 22:49, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Also, not that so far, only one other page links to this article. If you know of, or can identify, other pages that should link to it, could you add the links? Michael Hardy (talk) 22:50, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
