Your submission at Articles for creation: Michael C. McCormick (March 31)

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

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.

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.

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 C. McCormick 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.

There are a number of problems with your draft, but the most important problem is that it is not written based on independent in-depth reporting about the subject. Reviewers expect to see every statement in the draft to be accompanied by an inline citation to a published source.

IMDB cannot be used as a reference on Wikipedia.

Another serious problem with the draft is the overall promotional tone of the language. Wikipedia articles are supposed to be written in neutral language, avoiding words and turns of phrase intended to puff up the subject. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 20:18, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
