Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (November 28)

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

Unfortunately the roles the subject has taken do not meet the notability criteria for an actor as outlined in WP:NACTOR. They are all either minor roles or minor films. Additionally the subjects own Social Media or any user-generated content like IMDb cannot be used as a reference as they are not reliable sources

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 User:Jake Smithy/sandbox 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 User:Jake Smithy/sandbox, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" 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.

Publishing a page

Hey I’ve tried to publish a page but it doesn’t seem to be going anywhere Any help? Jake Smithy (talk) 11:10, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, I saw your request here. You should be aware of a few things:

The draft article you were working on, which is now at Draft:Will Rowlands, you requested to be deleted when you made this edit. You also appear to have had an unformatted copy of raw page text at User talk:Jake Smithy/sandbox and you appear to have pasted the same text (including extraneous text from the Wikipedia side bar) at Draft:Will Rowlands. The result was a massive wall of text that was illegible. Since it is unclear what you were trying to do, I have deleted all of this and I have restored the last version of the formatted article that you were working on. If anything is missing, let me know.
I added a proper infobox here.
All content needs to be sourced, especially personal details like birthdate and birth place, and birth name, as including unsourced details like this could violate the subject's privacy. Please see WP:BLPPRIVACY.
Before submitting the article for review, you will need to read our General Notability Guideline and the specific notability criteria for actors, found at WP:NACTOR. If you can't demonstrate the subject meets either of these criteria, the article is likely not to pass.

Please feel free to ping me if you have a question, like, {{ping|Cyphoidbomb}}, but please make sure to sign your post with four tildes, like ~~~~, as the ping system is wonky and won't work otherwise. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 00:23, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
