Happy editing! Bobby Cohn (talk) 15:16, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you @Bobby Cohn: I appreciate the help. First publish for me from zero. Working on a couple of others in the background, so learning how to navigate through these details is helpful. Open to all suggestions/advice. Zagwiz (talk) 15:23, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Happy to have you aboard! We all started somewhere, and drafting an article is definitely one of the more challenging tasks a new user can tackle (especially a biography of a living person). I didn't notice any glaring issues when I organized the draft, so I expect someone with more expertise or interest in the subject area will come by and conduct a more thorough review. Unfortunately, there is a bit of a backlog at the moment, so there's no telling when that will happen.

Happy editing, Bobby Cohn (talk) 15:28, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Draft moved: Shane Hewitt

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Shane Hewitt. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. Bobby Cohn (talk) 15:16, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Shane Hewitt (March 16)

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

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

The comment the reviewer left was:

The draft contains very bold claims that are based on what the subject's website claims. Please cite intellectually independent sources. --Johannes (Talk) (Contribs) (Articles) 18:58, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Shane Hewitt (June 26)

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

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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

We can get into notability once you sort out your references. I think he has borderline notability, but your references diminish that. Good references may tip the balance.

Please do not just link to playbills which mention him. They are valid, but inly to verify simple facts. WP:YOUTUBE tells you when you may use it as a reference.

For a living person we have a high standard of referencing. Every substantive fact you assert, especially one that is susceptible to potential challenge, requires a citation with a reference that is about them, and is independent of them, in multiple secondary sources which are WP:RS, and is significant coverage. Please also see WP:PRIMARY which details the limited permitted usage of primary sources and WP:SELFPUB which has clear limitations on self published sources. Providing sufficient references, ideally one per fact cited, that meet these tough criteria is likely to make this draft a clear acceptance (0.9 probability). Lack of them or an inability to find them is likely to mean that the person is not suitable for inclusion, certainly today.

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:Shane Hewitt 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.
