Your submission at Articles for creation: Richard Gardner (August 8)

Latest comment: 8 years ago2 comments1 person in discussion

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

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of people and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Needs references from reliable 3rd party sites, other than works written by him. These references need to be inline

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:Richard Gardner and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.

Hi. He is probably notable, but as I said you need references to establish this. See WP:RS. You should try find newspaper articles to back up the claims in the article. You can't just use his works as references - you have to substantiate. And you need to put the references inline. Also have a look at WP:BLP Gbawden (talk) 13:51, 8 August 2016 (UTC)Reply
