Your submission at Articles for creation: Ron Weighell (February 6)[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 Carpenter 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'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.

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:Ron Weighell 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:Ron Weighell, 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, 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.

Your thread has been archived[edit]

Hi Nick Goodall! The thread you created at the Wikipedia:Teahouse, Question about a notice advising me to "Find sources"., has been archived because there was no discussion for a few days (usually at least two days, and sometimes four or more). You can still find the archived discussion here. If you have any additional questions that weren't answered then, please feel free to create a new thread.

The archival was done by Lowercase sigmabot III, and this notification was delivered by Muninnbot, both automated accounts. You can opt out of future notifications by placing {{bots|deny=Muninnbot}} here on your user talk page. Muninnbot (talk) 19:00, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Ron Weighell (June 15)[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 Laplorfill was:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

The comment the reviewer left was:

It seems possible that Weighell is notable, but the current set of sources don't demonstrate that. They are mainly to unreliable sources like the Internet Speculative Fiction Database, or minor blogs related to Sherlock Holmes, most of which do not even mention Weighell. Can you provide reliable sources that demonstrate that Weighell meets our general notability guidelines?

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.

Laplorfill (talk) 15:57, 15 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Laplorfill and thank you for your comment that it is possible that Weighell is notable, which is the most positive response that I have received from a reviewer to date. To respond to a couple of your points: 1. You state that the Internet Speculative Database is an unreliable source. However, the Database has an entry in Wikipedia and therefore is considered to be reliable and notable enough to warrant a Wikipedia entry. How do you rationalise your statement in the light of that fact? 2. With reference to the minor blogs - can you please tell me which ones I have cited which "do not even mention Weighell"? If that is the case then I need to correct that, because as far as I am aware, apart from where I have put in links to, for example, his various publishers, I believe that everything I have provided does mention him.

Please note, also, that I have one more change to make to the draft article, which is to mention that the Fortean Times, a publication which, again, is considered to be worthy of a Wikipedia entry, contains an obituary for Weighell in its July 2021 edition.
