Hello, Thorbenson, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you created was Draft:Thor Benson, which appears to be an article about yourself. This is a common mistake made by new Wikipedians—as this is an encyclopedia, we wouldn't expect to have an article about every contributor. Your user page, however, is a great place to write about yourself, making sure to stay within user page guidelines. Just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit it normally.

The page you created about yourself may well be deleted from the encyclopedia. If it is deleted and you wish to retrieve its contents, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

The five pillars of Wikipedia
Contributing to Wikipedia
Tutorial
How to edit a page and How to develop articles
How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
Simplified Manual of Style

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Dodger67 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:

There are no independent sources.

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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

There's nothing here for actual notability in Wikipedia policy and I see nothing else to suggest otherwise or that the article itself could be otherwise convincing; there's no inherited notability from anything or anyone else, regardless of publication or name.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Hi and thanks for your submission! The independent references added definitely improve the entry, but realistically they do not yet add up to the "significant coverage" standard required for an entry in the encyclopedia. The saying we have for this is WP:TOOSOON, meaning there's every good chance that as Benson's career continues, there may be more substantial coverage about him, which is what's required for an entry (rather than publications by him)--profiles of him, for instance, or coverage of awards won. So there's not enough coverage yet, but if more emerges, please do resubmit! As a side note, I'd also recommend trying your hand at adding to some other entries in the meantime--it'll help a lot in terms of learning about these policies, which I realize are not necessarily obvious!
