Your submission at Articles for creation: Michael Coyne - Photographer (November 25)

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

The comment the reviewer left was:

Both sources are not independent; they're bios by the subject's employer.

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:Michael Coyne - Photographer 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.

Thank you for your input and comments. I must admit I am having some difficulty coming to terms with them given the status of the subject in the world of photojournalism. If you can point me to some examples of biographies on wikipedia that may be used as suitable exemplars of what you expect to read, I will rewrite.

Thanks for the feedback. I have added further academeic citations to the article. I am at a loss as to the reference to encyclopedic style given the paucity of the at style in so many articles on Wikipedia I use for research. If any editor could point me to one article of the correct style I would be happy to attempt to bring my 50 years of journalistic and media writing skills up to the level that appears to be required. Just one suitable link is all I ask for. DJB of Melb (talk) 07:44, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Good afternoon,

I have heavily writeen the article and added a number of citations and references to Michaels publications. I await your response please. DJB of Melb (talk) 06:56, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks.

I had completely refreshed the citations, ensuring all were able to be verified on line. I have rewritten the text.

The man has had a number of books published.

His World of Australians was launched by an Australian Government Minister and I quoted that and included a link to the speech in the citations.

His works are held in major collections,

He has been awarded an Australian Centenary medal for his documentary work.

I have no idea what else I am meant to do, and not of of the people reviewing the submission appears prepared to engage with me. DJB of Melb (talk) 06:51, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
