Your submission at Articles for creation: Donald E. Frith (February 21)

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

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 Draft:Donald E. Frith and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Donald E. Frith, 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.
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.

Minor revisions in Draft:Donald E. Frith

I made some revisions in Draft:Donald E. Frith -- just minor revisions which tidy it up a bit. You have made a good start at creating a Wikipedia article about Donald Frith, and I encourage you to continue. I agree with the reviewer about what is needed: references to coverage "in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject". The two refs now in the Draft are useful, but do not address the issues discussed in Wikipedia:Notability (people). I would be glad to help with improving this Draft, but I do not know enough about the subject to find these needed refs. The Draft is on my watchlist, so I will be alerted to any changes made in Draft:Donald E. Frith, and I will attempt to help. CWBoast (talk) 19:21, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Some ideas for next steps, in the Draft:Donald E. Frith draft

Marleyredd: Please don't be discouraged with the changes which have been made to the draft Draft:Donald E. Frith. If appropriate references can be found, there is no reason why this draft cannot, eventually, be turned into a Wikipedia article. I am fairly confident that the people (User:CommanderWaterford and User:Curb Safe Charmer) who have evaluated the draft are working in good faith to help you develop an article -- even if their actions may seem rather brutal, at first sight. Now that the latter person has removed material which (User:Curb Safe Charmer) regards as too close to an exact copy of possibly copyrighted material, I believe that the draft can be worked on -- with no danger of it being deleted. The key step is to find and insert references which support statements in a revised draft. If you would be comfortable using e-mail to communicate with me about how to improve the draft, I could send you an e-mail through the Wikipedia system (without revealing my e-mail address to the wider world). If you "create" a user page (titled User:Marleyredd) with at least one character of content, then I can go to your user page and click on "Email this user" to send you an e-mail -- which will give you my e-mail address. If you choose to reply to that e-mail, then I will learn your e-mail address. (And neither of us will have revealed our e-mail addresses to the wider world.) In order for this to work your e-mail address must be registered with Wikipedia, registered as the e-mail address of User:Marleyredd -- you may have already given you e-mail address when you set up the user name User:Marleyredd. I hope to write you an e-mail explaining further what I might be able to do to further the cause of "Draft:Donald E. Frith". CWBoast (talk) 18:04, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
