- I just don't seem to understand. I have a number of reliable sources, which are verifiable. I have in line citations with footnotes. Ugh. Frustrating as I have asked several others for help on this and they have the same frustration. Thompkin1961 (talk) 19:23, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Thompkin1961 - as I explained in the decline criteria Wikipedia has very strict requirements for biographies of living persons, where facts are required to be backed up with a reliable source. In your draft the entire "Early Life" section has only 1 source and it is a self-published source, not a reliable one. You need to find sources to back up the facts that you state otherwise they are not suitable for inclusion. Hope this helps. ~Liancetalk 20:27, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks Liance. Will work on it. Thompkin1961 (talk) 12:34, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
