Your submission at Articles for creation: Franco Biondi (December 11)

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 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 content of this submission includes material that does not meet Wikipedia's minimum standard for inline citations. Please cite your sources using footnotes. For instructions on how to do this, please see Referencing for beginners. Thank you.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Fails WP:ANYBIO - WordPress is not an acceptable source and the University of Nevada website, as his employer, is a primary source

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:Franco Biondi 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.

Notice re potential conflict of interest

Hello, DendroLab. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Draft:Franco Biondi, 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), including links or details of reliable sources that support 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, publicizing, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. -- Euryalus (talk) 11:09, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your comments. I was in the process of adding multiple citations using reliable, published sources to the page but it was not clear to me how to save the draft without submitting it for review. I do not expect to receive compensation for this activity, and the reason for submitting this page is that I have made a significant impact in my field (for example, my H-index is greater than 40 and I have more than 100 peer-reviewed publications). I will include the COI statement you require but I should point out that several of my colleagues already have their own published Wikipedia page.

I've also requested a change of username, as another editor requested. DendroLab (talk) 15:57, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The existence of articles about your colleagues has no influence over whether an article about you will be accepted; the subject of each article must merit inclusion individually. The governing rule in this case is Wikipedia:Notability (academics). In the draft you submitted, the sources you supplied are of insufficient quantity and quality to pass these notability criteria.

Since you are not an objective judge of your own notability, you should not even be attempting to write about yourself at all. The reasons are further explained at Wikipedia:Autobiography, and the essays "Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not about YOU" and "Wikipedia:An article about yourself isn't necessarily a good thing". --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 19:51, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
