Your submission at Articles for creation: The Human Journey (May 25)

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

Please provide independent reliable sources that discusses the web site

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:The Human Journey 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:The Human Journey, 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, 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.

Robert E. Ornstein

Hi, thanks for your additions to Robert E. Ornstein. Please note that external links (eg to the subject's web site and The Idries Shah Foundation's web site) should usually not be added to the main body of the text, and especially not in the lead sentence. Anyhow, thanks again. Regards, Esowteric + Talk + Breadcrumbs 20:27, 11 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for your corrections. I am not very familiar with wikipedia policy on external links.

By the way, do you think it would be apropriate to add external links to the Idries Shah Foundation and to the Robert Ornstein Youtube channel ? The youtube channel has several of his interviews about his works and I found it very informative. PA Packard (talk) 07:33, 12 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
