Hi DoubleGrazing,

I have yet to see a single soap opera character article that has references in the 'Storylines' section, and there are plenty out there. E.g. Coronation St character: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiz_Brown

And another Shortland Street character:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Warner

I don't know how you'd expect me to reference sentences from the 'Storyline' section, as they are occurrences from the television show. Please advise on how you'd reference these. Perhaps you made a mistake as it doesn't appear soap articles require references in 'Storylines' sections, and if they do, you might need to take them all down!

Look forward to your response.

Thanks! Nzshorty (talk) 19:55, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, you know, I think I did make a mistake! (This is what happens when trying to quickly do reviews alongside ten other things.) Plot sections, which is what this effectively is, don't need to cite sources when they only describe the plot, without going into analysis, commentary, etc. I thought I detected some commentary there, on a quick read, but having looked again now, I was probably wrong. I've reverted my review. Thanks for flagging this up! Best, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:00, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Drew McCaskill (September 30)

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

The proposed article does not have sufficient content to require an article of its own, but it could be merged into the existing article at List_of_Shortland_Street_characters_(2015)#Drew_McCaskill. Since anyone can edit Wikipedia, you are welcome to add that information yourself. Thank you.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Sourcing seems insufficient to establish notability for its own article.

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.
