Your submission at Articles for creation: The McClure Twins (July 25)

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

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of people, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), 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:

YouTube videos cannot be used as reliable sources, and the mainstream sources listed are nowhere near sufficient to support the claims made in the article. This subject is not suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

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.

Your submission at Articles for creation: The McClure Twins (September 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 Frayae 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. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

Still not shown to be notable. Too soon at best.

Advice on page creation

Thank you so much for the kind words re: Scottie Beam, I do appreciate it. I also appreciate you contributing to her article! However, unsourced information can't remain on pages, especially biographies of living people. I'm going to add a "citation needed" tag to the sentence you added; please find a source and cite it when you can.

In terms of article creation and my advice to you: sourcing is absolutely vital to deciding when an article is ready to be moved out of draftspace. Generally, if I come across someone in pop culture that I'm unfamiliar with, I will look them up on Wiki. If they don't have a Wikipedia article, but there are several Google hits with coverage of them in WP:RS, I'll just go ahead and make the page. Sometimes I'll *want* to make a page for someone who doesn't have enough sources to meet Wiki standards for notability (i.e. WP:GNG, in which case I'll create a draft and incubate it there until sources appear.

Also, just in case you were unaware -- you don't have to go through the AfC process if your sourcing is sound. You can just move WP:MOVE the page into mainspace yourself, but please note that if the article subject doesn't meet the notability guidelines, it will surely be deleted. If it isn't deleted right away, it will likely be deleted when it is reviewed by the new page reviewers (I know about this process well because I am one). I use WP:RSP to get a sense of how sources are evaluated. It saves time and heartache to make sure the sourcing is strong, because my pages about Black women are sent to WP:AFD more than any other pages I write.

I hope this helps. Please let me know if there's any other way I can be helpful.

Thanks! Citrivescence (talk) 23:58, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

This is extremely helpful. Thank you so much!

You're absolutely right. I completely forgot about sourcing the addition to the Scottie Beam article. I'll be on the lookout for credible sources.

Otherwise, keep moving the culture forward!
