Your submission at Articles for creation: Sean McCoy (May 7)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Dclemens1971 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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This article does not demonstrate the notability of its subject under either the General Notability Guideline or the Biography notability standards. We would need to see significant coverage in multiple independent, reliable sources. I see only one source here that would qualify. As it stands this article relies too much on user-generated content. Take a look at the guidelines and see if you can find sources that would demonstrate McCoy's notability according to Wikipedia's standards. Thank you for submitting this to AfC!

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.

Thanks for reviewing the new page so quickly, Dclemens1971! It's been years since I created a new page, but I was noodling through the long list of game designers and thought that as much as McCoy has annoyed me with super-super-late Kickstarters, he seemed quite a bit more notable than many of the names on the list. I've replaced a bunch of the links with general publication links, and added a bit or two I'd forgotten. I hope you or the next reviewer is happier with it now.

The sources seem sufficient to meet GNG now, so I approved it. I removed promotional links and sections that were sourced unreliably (i.e. to LinkedIn). Dclemens1971 (talk) 02:57, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
