Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (March 31)

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

Possibly notable but needs a re-write for neutral tone. See WP:NARTIST for criteria.

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.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to User:Polaatx/sandbox and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Please go to User:Polaatx/sandbox, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Niccu Tafarrodi (May 23)

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

The content of this submission includes material that does not meet Wikipedia's minimum standard for inline citations. Please cite your sources using footnotes. For instructions on how to do this, please see Referencing for beginners. Thank you.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Thanks for resubmitting this draft. The article needs a bit more work to show that the subject qualifies for an article on Wikipedia -- two of the sources appear to be independent and reliable, but the others are not. In addition, it is important that all claims are sourced; so for example, the reference for the Control Data Institute shows her diploma for that, but doesn't support the claims about when she came to the US and what scholarship she got. Please look at the links above or ask at the help desk if you'd like more info!

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.

Your AfC submission

Hi Polaatx, I'll answer the questions that you left on my talk page here. I'll also include some other tips to improve this article. Thank you for patience with the AfC process, which I know can be a bit of a headache!

The first main concern is that the article does not currently include multiple independent sources to show that the subject is notable. For example, it would be helpful to include at least one another newspaper/magazine article about the subject's work in public health to show that this was notable.
In the absence of additional coverage, we would need to see that the subject meets the criteria outlined at WP:ARTIST.
To improve the article, it would be helpful to remove all external links in the body of the text; see WP:ELPOINTS. In addition, it would make sense to remove things that aren't sourced, don't add to the notability of the article, and/or are copied from other sources. This would mean, for example, removing the "Affiliations" section and really trimming down the "Career as an artist" to stick to the facts presented in reliable sources.
Finally, I appreciated reading your note about why the documentation for her diplomas cannot be retrieved at this time. I should clarify that we do not actually need to see personal documents like that - what I meant to say is if there's a fact that you know because you know the subject personally, but there is no independent, reliable record of it, then it should not be included in the article. This is why we generally don't recommend writing about subjects you have a close connection to, because it can make it difficult to write a neutral article. (See WP:COI.)

I hope that is helpful. You can post here if you have any further questions and I'll do my best to answer. You are welcome to resubmit after you've made any changes and another editor can take a look.
