Your submission at Articles for creation: Ian Elliot (March 22)[edit]

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

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.

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:

Potentially notable, but the sources cited are not enough to establish this. Notability per WP:GNG requires significant coverage in multiple independent, reliable, secondary sources. Notability per WP:ARTIST is possible although not obvious, and the 'Exhibitions' section which might contribute towards this is unreferenced.

The 'Early life' and 'Exhibitions' sections, as well as the personal info (DOB/DOD etc.) in the infobox, are unreferenced. Please ensure that every material statement, as well as private personal details, are supported by citations to reliable sources.

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.

- I made several edits to the page in alignment with the reviewers comments and feedback. waiting for wiki commons to reinstate some images before resubmitting. ColinWSElliot (talk) 04:00, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  Wiki commons have agreed to reinstate the images after the article draft's approval. All licenses are correct and in place. ColinWSElliot (talk) 14:48, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
