October 6
I have spent numerous hours editing the initial rejection. I just resubmitted a edited submission only to be told that it was not being considered. I have asked for help several times before with no help. Please let me understand why this latest submission was rejected seconds after being submitted!!

- I believe what you saw was the old draft template which should have been removed when reviewed the last time(I have removed it). The current submission template is at the bottom of your article. Your article is in the queue, and it appears that the notability requirements can be met, but the only reference appears to be The World's Leading Tennis Players. The first two inline sources do not mention his name. The next two are Wikipedia, which can not be used as a reference, and the last from the TACOMA-PIERCE COUNTY SPORTS HALL OF FAME is not acceptable for notability. If you can find another reference preferably on the web attesting to the Wimbledon competition, approval should be no problem. -- :- ) Don 06:24, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

Redirect created. Thank you for your contribution to Wikipedia! Technically, redirect requests should be directed to WP:AFC/R, though. Huon (talk) 17:09, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
Hello - I again have received denial for my submission for "unreliable sources". I am very confused. Every source cited backs my claims for the person. I guess I need more details. Other tennis players in Wiki who played with Don Flye have less sourcing and are published. Is the article to long?? What is unreliable about my sources?
Thank you for your time.

- Short answer: No, you have not again received a denial. That's still the old message dated to 10 June. The next review is still pending, and it will be pending as long as the "review waiting" message remains on the draft. When the article is reviewed again you will be notified on your talk page.
- I don't think all the issues Don pointed out above have been addressed yet. For example, the very first external link in the draft, to the USTA Boys Tournament history, doesn't mention Flye at all. Neither does the University of Washington web page that's the second external link. The source for the statement that Flye "represented the University of Washington Tennis Team in 1952, 1953 and 1957 winning four Pacific Coast Conference division championships in Singles and Doubles" should indeed say that Flye represented the University of Washington and won those championships - just linking to the university website is not enough. We might instead rely on the Federal Way Mirror article for that statement, though it doesn't give the exact years and gives fewer details in general. The new references should be turned into proper footnotes just like the book. Huon (talk) 18:42, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
