Your submission at Articles for creation: John Edmund Taylor (August 28)[edit]

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

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.

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:

Failure to get elected means the person is not notable under WP:NPOL. The sources cited are primary, or routine election coverage, and therefore do not establish notability per WP:GNG either. The article is written in a promotional tone, and needs to be edited for more neutral, factual language.

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:John Edmund Taylor and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit 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.

September 2022[edit]

Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to ChicagoPride.com—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks. Materialscientist (talk) 05:24, 3 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I just edited it to adjust the website because it didn't seem to be pointing to the right place. No problem otherwise! Also, Bill Pritchard has left the organization apparently and is with Seattle Pride. Mlyons41 (talk) 05:29, 3 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or significantly change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did with this edit to ChicagoPride.com. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Materialscientist (talk) 05:26, 3 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Tagging pages for speedy deletion[edit]

Hello, Mlyons41,

If you want to tag appropriate pages for speedy deletion, please spend some time reviewing Criteria for Speedy Deletion thoroughly so you know what the accepted criteria are for speedy deletion and which namespaces they apply to. You just can't tag a page "Delete" and add your own reason, it must be one of the agreed-upon criteria.

If you have questions about editing on Wikipedia or its deletion policies and practices, please bring them to the Teahouse. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 07:10, 3 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

September 2022[edit]

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Flavia Agnes, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. Dl2000 (talk) 13:11, 3 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
