Your submission at Articles for creation: Stephen Ballentyne (June 14)

Draft declined

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. Your draft submission to Articles for creation has been reviewed but not accepted at this time.

Feedback

The reviewer, ChrysGalley, left the following feedback:

This draft's references do not show that the person meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion for people. The draft requires multiple published secondary sources that:

provide significant coverage: discuss the person in detail, not brief mentions or interviews lacking independent analysis;
are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight;
are independent: not connected to the person, such as interviews, press releases, the subject's own website, or sponsored content.

Please add references that meet all three of these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia.

A subject can't drive their own notability. Notability is based on other people talking about the subject at significant length. See the WP:GOLDENRULE, and ideally we need 3 such sources. It's also not a good idea to use Amazon to source books, just use ISBN and OCLC numbers instead.

Next steps

Edit Draft:Stephen Ballentyne to address the points above, making sure to publish any changes.
