Your submission at Articles for creation: Ottavio Rosati (March 29)[edit]

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

This submission reads more like an essay than an encyclopedia article. Submissions should summarise information in secondary, reliable sources and not contain opinions or original research. Please write about the topic from a neutral point of view in an encyclopedic manner.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Well done on creating the draft, and it may potentially meet the relevant requirements (including WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO, WP:CREATIVE) but presently does not. As you may know, Wikipedia's basic requirement for entry is that the subject is notable. Essentially subjects are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject. To properly create such a draft page, please see referencing for beginners or the article Easier Referencing for Beginners. Please note that many of the references are not considered reliable sources and should be removed. Additionally, the draft tends to read too much like a CV (which Wikipedia is not) and too much like an essay, and not in the style of prose appropriate for an encyclopaedia. Please familiarise yourself with these pages before amending the draft. If you feel you can meet these requirements then resubmit the page and ping me and I would be happy to reassess. As I said, I do think this draft has potential so please do persevere!

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:Ottavio Rosati 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.

Thank you @Cabrils, I will simplify, I have a bit of difficulty understanding which sources are reliable, but I will try to study them.

Ottavio Rosati is an independent, but is extremely well known worldwide. I will do my best.

For now, thank you very much.

One question, how long do I have to find sources before the draft is canceled? TimR22 (talk) 10:27, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Good one. In my comment above you can click on the link to "reliable" to see how Wikipedia defines "reliable sources", including that sources should be independent of the subject. So for example, given Rosati Director of the IPOD - Istituto per lo psicodramma ad orientamento dinamico, materials sourced from its website http://www.plays.it/ipod/ need to be handled with much care. Wikipedia is not LinkedIn or a site on which to host a person's personal biography, which is how the draft presently reads to me. I do think the draft has good potential but requires some substantive pruning of content that cannot be properly cited via reliable sources. Please absorb my suggestions and I encourage you to amend the draft accordingly and as I said, I'd be happy to reassess it. Also don't hesitate to ask any questions, I'm happy to help.

Drafts last 6 months so you should have ample time!
