Your submission at Articles for creation: Pat Bastien (October 21)

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

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 for sports persons and athletes). 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.

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

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:Pat Bastien 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.

Please stop removing the "promotional language" template from an article you created, and let other people judge if the text is sufficiently neutral. The article still reads like a promo piece written by the university, not a neutral encyclopedic description. Fram (talk) 17:49, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your candid feedback. I am still learning, and was under the impressing I was addressing the flag as stated in the linked article of the message. A different individual took the time to explain the issue and why it was was important for the template to be removed by someone else. I will continue to work through the edits on the article. Be blessed. DCfootball09 (talk) 21:40, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

While less obvious, this also seems to be a problem with your previous article, Pat Bastien. You sourced the text

"As a coach, Bastien is known for his emphasis on discipline, routine, and player development. His coaching style is focused on building strong defensive units, and he has been praised for his ability to mentor young players, particularly in his recent work with the New York Jets' secondary."

to this, which doesn't seem to support anything at all in those glowing sentences. Fram (talk) 17:52, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Douglas Craddock Jr

The article Douglas Craddock Jr has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Majority of article is unsourced. Sources present do not indicate enough to meet GNG, and are trivial comments.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Blethering Scot 21:50, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello DCfootball09, I just wanted to clarify that you can remove the "proposed deletion" tag if you think the article shouldn't be deleted. If you don't do antyhing, the article will be deleted automatically in a week. If you remove the "proposed deletion" tag, it's very likely that the nominator will start a discussion-based deletion process at Articles for Deletion instead, where you would be asked to show the secondary sources that demonstrate how Craddock meets the "notability" criteria. If there ends up being a discussion, wikipedians will be looking for detailed, independent articles that are directly about Craddock. I searched at Newspapers.com and did actually find some: [1][2][3][4]. But, they are for relatively minor activities like getting an internship, and in a quite small local paper, so I don't know how persuasive people will find them. Usually a notable academic is more like William F. Wells. Let me know if you have any questions about Wikipedia's notability expectations or deletion processes. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 23:42, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
