Your submission at Articles for creation: Avibase (March 29)[edit]

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

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. 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.

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:Avibase and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Avibase, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, 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.

I have sent you a note about a page you started[edit]

Hello, Dlepage.ca

Thank you for creating Aplopelia simplex.

User:Rosguill, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:

Please be careful about not pointing redirects at other redirects. This creates a double redirect, which will be automatically fixed by a bot. If a redirect A would have been acceptable as an alternative name of redirect B which points to page C, but page C is not an appropriate target for A, please avoid creating A.

To reply, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Rosguill}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ .

@Rosguill:

Thanks! I saw the bot notifications for those after I created them. I'll avoid doing this in the future.

--Dlepage.ca (talk) 22:18, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. If there's any redirects that you've created by mistake that you think should be removed, you can request their deletion with the {{db-g7}} template (for more information, see WP:G7). _signed,Rosguill ^talk 22:22, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Avibase (April 11)[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 Sulfurboy were:

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

The comment the reviewer left was:

RoySmith, looks like a lot of work was done to establish notability since my decline for that. However, WikiAviator was correct to decline, because this reads way too promotional and just like an advertisement instead of a formal, neutral article. Notability is properly established, but the tone and POV of the article needs to be completely overhauled which is why I'm declining it now.

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.
