Your submission at Articles for creation: Wolfgang Zach (November 16)

Latest comment: 6 years ago1 comment1 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 Worldbruce was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines for academics, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), 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:

To demonstrate that someone is notable (suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia) requires significant coverage in indpendent, reliable, secondary sources. Zach's curriculum vitae, employers, publishers, and books he has written or edited are not independent of him. The draft cites only one independent source, a review of one of his books. Find a few more reviews of his work (jstor.org would be a good database to search) and weave what the reviewers have to say into the draft. A Festschrift is mentioned in the body of the draft, use it as a source.

Another way Zach might qualify for inclusion is under the special notability guidelines for academics. His Goldenes Verdienstzeichen is good, but not highly prestigious enough for him to qualify under criterion 2 (it's the 11th class of 15, and Wikipedia usually only considers the top few classes highly prestigious). He is most likely to qualify under criterion 1, as shown by reviews of his works, and metrics like the number of times his works have been cited and how many worldcat.org libraries hold his books.

The second major issue is that in biographies of living persons, any statement that is challenged or likely to be challenged (which in practice means almost everything) must be supported by an inline citation. Instead of clustering all the references in the references section, place them in the text, immediately after the statements they support. See Help:Referencing for beginners for how to cite the same reference more than once.

For good examples of ways to write about academics, see Barbara McClintock, Frank Macfarlane Burnet, Murray Rothbard, and Vera Rubin.

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.
