Your submission at Articles for creation: Philip Benfey (October 22)

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

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:Philip Benfey 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.

Hi would it be able to check again. I added many more references from reliable secondary sources. Thanks! Root bio (talk) 15:57, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you submit it again in the same way you did the first time, it will be reviewed again. However, at a glance it looks like there may be issues with the neutrality of the article. Content like "a visionary in the field of plant science, making significant contributions to understanding the genetic and molecular basis of root growth and development. He was also a dedicated mentor, fostering the careers of numerous scientists worldwide" is subjective and praising rather than objective and neutral. I'd suggest checking out Wikipedia's policies on neutral point of view and verifiability, and this list of non-neutral words to avoid. AntiDionysius (talk) 16:02, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh also, if you have a personal connection to the subject (say if Benfey was your friend, family member, colleague or teacher), then you have what Wikipedia calls a Conflict of Interest and should read up on what that means. Thanks! AntiDionysius (talk) 16:03, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

thanks so much. I revised and added another source.

I don't find the submit for review button. Is it already out for review again or do I need to do anything? Root bio (talk) 16:36, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No problem at all. I think the template with the submit button got deleted during one of your edits, so I've re-added it. AntiDionysius (talk) 16:41, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tips

Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, AntiDionysius (talk) 15:58, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
