| Submission declined on 7 September 2024 by Raydann (talk). This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies. Declined by Raydann 3 months ago. | |

Comment: Sorry John, you do not yet pass our notability criteria. Qcne (talk) 11:52, 24 October 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Unfortunately, while Foster is certainly accomplished in his field, he does not seem to meet Wikipedia's general notability guideline, which is much more stringent than most people suspect. While Foster is mentioned in some of these sources, these mentions are entirely passing, meaning that Foster himself is not the subject of the articles. By my count, ten of the thirteen sources are like this - They are about some project Foster was involved in but not about Foster himself. The other sources are either database entries or do not mention Foster. For example, the claim about Foster being involved with Amazing World of Gumball is not sourced and those articles only discuss the show.If you are working on an article about yourself or someone you are closely connected to, I recommend reading WP:PROUD and WP:DISCLOSE.
