Your submission at Articles for creation: Vipal J. Patel (October 31)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Ca 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 (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 comment the reviewer left was:

I really hate to decline this draft–it is quite well researched. However, this draft depends way too much on sources that are affiliated with Vipal Patel. For example, since he works as a Acting United States Attorney for the Southern District of Ohio, this source would have direct interest in promoting him. He also works for this law firm [1] so it would not be considered independent. Same goes for his university's bio page. What would really solidify this draft's notability(i.e. able to be noted in a quality manner) is to find reliable and independent articles about him(not just quoting him). All in all, good article, but I have concerns about its independence. Good luck on getting this approved!

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:Vipal J. Patel 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.

[Re-sending.] Hello, and thanks for reviewing (particularly volunteering). Understood. Pointing out though that this draft is based on, and was modeled on, the pages for his predecessor (David M. DeVillers) and successor, Kenneth L. Parker, which used pretty much the same type of supporting references (the U.S. Attorney's Office, currently employer, etc.). And, Patel is no longer affiliated with the U.S. Attorney's Office (he's a former U.S. Attorney, not current), so that would not seem to be of concern, no? And he's only an Adjunct professor at the Dayton law school. Lastly, there's maybe 3 or 4 existing wikipedia articles that reference him, one example here, where his name is in red, so it seems like there should be a page for him, as it links currently to dead space. Happy to try to search for additional supporting references, but it just seems like this as drafted currently is very consistent with others similar individuals, so just seems unnecessary. But, will oblige if really needed. School project, so under a bit of a deadline before the end of semester. Thanks. Prosperare2 (talk) 17:19, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
