Your submission at Articles for creation: Sheldon Brings Plenty (February 18)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Idoghor Melody were:

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.

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:Sheldon Brings Plenty 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.

Thank you for the review and feedback. I understand the importance of meeting Wikipedia’s notability guidelines through reliable, secondary sources that provide significant coverage. However, there are strong sources that establish Sheldon Raymore's impact, particularly:

Ivan Bujan’s peer-reviewed research article "A Case of Chronic Survivance: Decolonizing the Epidemiology of HIV," Sexualities, 2024. This academic journal article discusses Raymore’s work in depth, linking it to Indigenous public health interventions and cultural survivance.

Buffalo’s Fire article: Covers Raymore’s HIV prevention work and advocacy, which could contribute to demonstrating notability.

West River Eagle article: Provides coverage on his activism. Woodraven (talk) 22:17, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
