Your submission at Articles for creation: Daniel Millar (May 3)[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 Paul W 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:

Brief, passing mentions in routine theatre reviews do not amount to significant (ie: detailed, in-depth) coverage in reliable, independent, secondary sources. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NACTOR.

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:Daniel Millar 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.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

@Paul W Hi Paul. Thanks so much for the feedback here. I really appreciate it. I'm a total novice when it comes to creating a new page so any and all advice is very welcome. I will review this and resubmit as and when. Just to clarify, it is 'evidence for notability' that you are looking for with this kind of submission, is that right? Many thanks again.

The key is verifiability (WP:V) - statements about the subject, particularly in a biography of a living person, need "an inline citation to a reliable source that directly supports the material". Many thanks. Paul W (talk) 16:42, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
