Your submission at Articles for creation: David Holtzman (October 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 Nightenbelle 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. 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:

The sources just do not indicate that the subject is notable enough for a WP article. Of the 7 sources- 1 is a photograph of a parade and not really an article at all, yet the caption is used to support 1/5 of the article's substance. 2 additional articles are obituaries- which really don't establish notability in and of themselves. The Learning Communities article makes only a passing mention of the subject. And then there are 2 articles on an incident where the subject was attacked and his attackers were acquitted. So- at best- the subject would be considered notable only for his association with 1 event. Now, Since he is described as a well known activist in the articles- so I'm sure better sources exist to establish the subjects notability. I suggest you develop the article more and find additional sources to do so.

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 when they have been resolved.
