Article for Dave Clark

Hi Staraction, I work for business executive Dave Clark, and I'm trying to create a Wikipedia article for him. I see that you are part of WP:BLP, and that you have an interest in creating new articles for Americans. I'm hoping that you will take a look at the draft I have posted here. Would you consider moving it to main space?

Thank you, Kellyklc (talk) 17:51, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

@Kellyklc Unfortunately I don't think I can accept this draft - it doesn't meet certain Wikipedia guidelines relating to neutrality, such as WP:BALANCE - in particular, the draft fails to mention any controversies about Clark, such as documented here. I would suggest sending this article through the WP:AfC process. Thanks and best of luck with your article. Staraction (talk | contribs) 00:15, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

What was wrong?

The addition was neutral. I didn’t say he was the best. I said he was one of the best. Most football fans/players would agree with that. Brochuggles (talk) 03:51, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi Staraction. I answered this on his page. Have a good night. Regards, Bringingthewood (talk) 04:49, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
