Your submission at Articles for creation: Andrew Joseph White (January 23)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Paul W were:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Sourcing is heavily dependent upon publisher sources (not independent), routine mentions, and an interview with the author is used repeatedly (care is needed here, see WP:Interviews: "The general rule is that any statements made by interviewees about themselves, their activities, or anything they are connected to is considered to have come from a primary source and is also non-independent material." Adding any significant coverage in reliable, independent sources will help demonstrate notability; this may come in time - otherwise it may simply be WP:Toosoon.

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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Andrew Joseph White and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, Beckbucket! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Paul W (talk) 21:02, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

While the page on its author is currently awaiting AFC re-evaluation, the information on his debut novel Hell Followed with Us (draft) sounds promising enough for a separate article (along with follow-up The Spirit Bares Its Teeth (draft) once/if I get to it). See you as I set up the basics in a few days; you may be in trusted hands in case you're reading this several weeks or months from now. --Slgrandson (How's my egg-throwing coleslaw?) 10:49, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Two tips[edit]

Hi and welcome! I just wanted to let you know about two minor issues I've noticed in your edits. First, section headings in articles should use sentence case, not title case. Second, when you cite a book as a source, please include the page number(s). Hope that helps! Schazjmd (talk) 20:12, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for letting me know! Correcting those now :) Beckbucket (talk) 20:24, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A quick WP:Before shows that better, more reliable sources exist for this subject. Please work those in to the draft. Kind regards, Spinster300 (talk) 21:53, 12 March 2024 (UTC).[reply]
