Your submission at Articles for creation: Jack Henderson (January 9)

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

Speedy deletion nomination of Mabel Douglas Reid

Hello David Rini,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Mabel Douglas Reid for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly indicate why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

Philip J. Gentner moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Philip J. Gentner, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Albert F. Earnshaw

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Albert F. Earnshaw requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Blocking & Assuming Comments or Criticism from Editor Bbb23

I am writing about the content and purpose of the following. Apparently, User Bbb23|‪Bbb23‬ has blocked my account. I am no longer able to update or edit my Wikipedia entries. I have been, quite inappropriately, described as a disruptive editor, a claim which I cannot simply accept from Wikipedia.

I am currently workin part-time on a library internship at the American Academy in Rome and the creation of new biographical entries on American classicists who received awards from the same institution is part of my responsibilities.

I am not creating articles that are not ready for article space, I am - in fact - creating drafts and updating, gradually new entries; I am simply in the process of learning how to use your website; I have not yet responded to notices on my Talk page simply because I have a working pattern that doesn't allow me to interact with editors with such regolarity (and intensity).

'An error occurred (blocked: Your username or IP address has been blocked. The block was made by ‪Bbb23‬. The reason given is Disruptive editing; creating articles that are not ready for article space, not using the WP:AFC process but moving them to article space on their own even after they were moved to draft space by experienced editors; not responding to any notices on their Talk page. *Start of block: 18:35, 18 January 2025 *Expiration of block: no expiry set *Intended blockee: ‪David Rini‬ You can contact ‪Bbb23‬ or another administrator to discuss the block. You can use the "Email this user" feature if a valid email address is specified in your preferences and you have not been blocked from using it. Your current IP address is 46.228.248.178. Block ID #25089878. Please include all above details in any queries you make.). Please try again or refer to the help desk.'

Please note that I will not respond to inappropriate, or even insulting, language used by members of Wikipedia on your website. This situation will be reported to the Head Librarian.
