Your submission at Articles for creation: Ian Rigby (June 29)

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

Also completely unformatted, which raises WP:MOS issues. verifiability is compromised by the lack of appropriate citations.

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:Ian Rigby 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.

Hello, MCL PSCI! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Actualcpscm (talk) 16:04, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you - new to editing and was having problems with the Submit button and capturing my edits. I've since added formatting and also an inline citation as a reference. There are also four primary research papers as external references. Not sure if this is enough to establish notability. Thanks for your help! MCL PSCI (talk) 16:25, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Thanks for your interest in contributing constructively, that's unfortunately not a given.

Notability requires coverage in multiple high-quality sources, a threshold that doesn't seem to be met here. I'll let another reviewer take a look at this one, though. You can read more about notability at WP:N. There are also some subject-specific notability guidelines, which do pretty much exactly what their name implies. WP:NACADEMIC is the guideline for academics, that might be relevant here. Please feel free to ask any further questions here or on my talk page. Happy editing!

Thanks for your help. I did raise notability issues before starting to create the page so I'm not too surprised! MCL PSCI (talk) 17:10, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Something else to point out is a lack of citations to support article content. Everything on Wikipedia must be verifiable per WP:V. This is even more stringently enforced for biographies of living persons, which have higher-yet standards for sourcing than other content. I suggest you read WP:RTW for some guidance on COI editing. Note that it's an essay, not a widely accepted policy or guideline. Actualcpscm (talk) 19:34, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome!

Hello, MCL PSCI, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles.
