Your submission at Articles for creation: Alison Green (March 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 GSS 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.

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:Alison Green 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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Daily Telegraph and SoundCloud are not reliable sources so should not be used. Many of the other sources are primary and/or not independent which includes interviews. Others are brief mentions.

May I ask the reason for the nomination? I corrected the article according to the suggestions I received (fixed orphan and improved categories). Did I misunderstand them? If the problem is the content that was added afterwards, I removed it to clearly see the cause of the issue.

Thank you for your response. Fact and Curious (talk) 16:53, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I sometimes when a new article is created that is borderline notable, they will get nominated for a deletion discussion. It just means that the Wikipedia community will discuss if the article meets the notability guidelines. Essentially, the more sources an article has from independent and reliable news sources, the safer it will be. This one is borderline. Feel free to reply here if you have any questions.

Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, Fact and Curious. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Alison Green, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. User:Scope creep, surely you noticed what I saw also: a bunch of useless minor edits (look--citing Discogs?), followed by the creation of a promotional article. Fact and Curious, please explain.
