I am a descendant of Thomas Smiley and visited Derry/Londonderry in 2013. It is impossible for him to be buried outside the city walls with honor for two reasons. 1) The Derry City Cemetery where he is allegedly buried was started in the 1800s. I spoke with the archivist there. 2) During the Siege of Derry, the Williamites lived within the city walls. They were prisoners basically of those walls. They reverted to eating rats and dogs and living in very harsh conditions. If anybody was killed during the siege, it would literally be impossible to leave the city walls and bury someone outside. The only possibility is that he was buried within the walls in the St. Columb's Cathedral, where there is a cemetery. I also visited the church and they pulled records but could find nothing. Most likely, Smiley was buried there but because of the war and the times, no official record made. There is a monument to those who died in the church's cemetery on top of what is believed to be mass grave.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Helen Yu (July 3)

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

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of people and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

You need to substitute independent sources where you have press releases or speaker bios, because those are written by her (or her staff). The Hollywood reporter articles have a single sentence with her name - that confirms facts, but does not support notability.

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 when they have been resolved.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Although the public-relations sources have been removed, the only new sources added were from IMDB (which I've removed) and some other sources that merely provided multiple sourcing for the item on the Black Eyed Peas. There is still nothing in this article that indicates the subject is a notable member of her profession. I also note that the Awards and Membership sections are completely unsourced.

The information about admittance to particular bars was removed, as being unencyclopedic and advertorial in nature.

Although it was not a factor in declining this submission, I noticed that the {{cite web}}: Empty citation (help) templates have been filled in only with the url's and titles. The purpose of the template is to facilitate the identification of the website, the publisher, the author, the date the site was accessed, etc. If this draft is going to be re-submitted, I suggest that the references be filled in with that essential information.
