Your submission at Articles for creation: Buxted Bonfire Society (September 23)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Theroadislong 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). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

no sources?

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.

Hello, I'm Deb. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.Deb (talk) 18:02, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oh I’m so sorry, self promotion, soap box or advertising was certainly not my intention.

In the same way that James Dyson features on Wikipedia how do other inventors get recognition? 92.40.196.73 (talk) 18:21, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If they meet the Wikipedia:Notability criteria, someone else will at some stage write an article about them. Wikipedia is not so much a way of gaining recognition as a way of informing readers about people who are already recognised as notable. Deb (talk) 07:58, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
