Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Zxcvbnm was:
The proposed article does not have sufficient content to require an article of its own, but it could be merged into the existing article at Lay (entertainer)#Endorsement. Since anyone can edit Wikipedia, you are welcome to add that information yourself. Thank you.
The comment the reviewer left was:
There is no reason for a split off article like this to exist. A star's endorsements are not independently notable. Any relevant content should be merged into the base article.
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.
If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Lay's Endorsement and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Disambiguation link notification for October 11
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of Go Fighting! episodes, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page St. John's University (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello Ernestchuajiasheng, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of St .Sebastian Church Permannur, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: A7 cannot be applied to buildings.

Hi, I'm Abishe. Ernestchuajiasheng, thanks for creating Inoherb!
I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. I have noticed that you have been working on some popular skin care companies like Inoherb. I recommend you (but not compelling you) to create a Spanish skin care company called Germaine de Capuccini which was founded by Carmen Vidal, a Spanish cosmetologist in 1960's. If you can able to create that article with gathering more reliable References that would be great!
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Anyone may nominate an article to be reviewed for GA, although it is preferable that nominators have contributed significantly to the article and are familiar with its subject and its cited sources. Nominators who are not significant contributors to the article should consult regular editors of the article on the article talk page prior to a nomination.
As far as I can see, you have made no edits to The Big Bang Theory, nor did you consult any regular editors. Additionally, the page had clearly visible signs of serious issues (e.g. {{citation needed}} tags). In addition to re-reading the good article criteria, I would recommend that you look at examples of good articles to see the standard required before nominating any further articles for GA – and do so only after (at the very least) reading the article in its entirety, fixing any issues you notice and looking for sources to make sure the article contains all relevant information. You may also wish to withdraw your nominations of Lay (entertainer), Lu Han and Fan Bingbing for the time being. — Bilorv(talk)(c)(e)09:03, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi! You appear to have accepted my draft list of countries by mercury production. Thank you! I'm also thinking about creating one for diamond production. Could you help me get that one through as well?

Hi Ernetchuajiasheng, can you please give me your guidance on how I can improve the article above. What do I need to omit or add? Shenalyn2018 (talk) 03:52, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
Greetings Shenalyn2018. It's great that you posted your enquiries on AfC's help desk. There are a few aspects to your submission that is in need of improvement. For instance, in the career section, the phrase, At the age of 40, Aaron is already living a comfortable life, earning a six figure income reads more like tabloid release and isn't neutral in tone. You can refer to Wikipedia:Neutral point of view and Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Words to watch as guidelines to help you. Moreover, you included information of his residence which isn't suitable as an encyclopaedic entry. It would be best if his career as a businessman is further elaborated in terms of the events occurred in his career; and not his personal life or the company he established. You might find Wikipedia:BLP helpful. RedFlame(talk)04:29, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

10:21:17, 2 January 2018 review of submission by Eckvoigt
Dear reviewer, as a further comment by a user unknown to me suupports, the entry is definitely valid (as supported by the discussions of Peter Lawson and eminent theatre critic Billington in The Guardian. Following the comment, I have since checked Peter Lawson's entry in the Cambridge Dictioinary of Judaism and Jewish Culture and can confirm that the entry does not quote from the article without proper reference. It should now be fit for publication.
@Eckvoigt: Greetings. At the time when I declined the submission there was only a single reference by The Guardian. The draft was subsequently improved after that. It would be great if you could add in a couple more of references to your draft.
Request on 10:44:54, 2 January 2018 for assistance on AfC submission by Eckvoigt
I have also made minor edits and included a further reference to Peter Lawson. Harold Pinter is a British-Jewish playwright. He received the Nobel Prize for Literature. Sir Tom Stoppard was knighted. Patrick Marber's Closer was turned into a major Hollywood movie. This is definitely a notable subject.
The person is really notable and very well known, he has been in newspapers and their archives, he has been interviewed a lot, pretty popular on social media, have good significance of his name in market and on other film websites.
Im taking this case as a challenge thats why i am after it. If a person who has done a lot of productions and now making a feature film which is verfiable on all the websites and newspapers, what else makes him notable? Or wikipedia just prefers American newspaper or news sources? What about other sources which are very reliable in our part of the world ?
Mere mentions are not sufficient, and whole comprehensive interviews are not reliable? Please do not forward me to a the page of "Reliable sources", i have read it and its illusive. I request a human guidance please, in not-so-official jargon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Usmanali1296 (talk • contribs) 17:00, 4 January 2018 (UTC)

First, I'd like to thank you for commenting my draft. But I don't agree with you ahout "There is no reason for a split off article like this to exist."
As far as I know, there are lots of articles about President of Mainland China's Universities in english wikipedia like Peking University and Chongqing University, etc. Therefore, I think creating "President of Tianjin University" is reasonable.
Hope to get your reply and agreement.
Thanks again.

I just don't understand why you reject my draft, there are similar articles out there, such as a list of world longest flight, flight number, etc. I am writing this to show the meaning, and the history of flight number 1. Most aviation geeks will love it cause they love to fly these flight number 1.
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited The Golden Eyes, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Sina (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
Hello, it means you need more sources (not 1 article only)?
I wrote it before quoting several sources but it was refused anyway by an editor.
Please let me know what I'm doing wrong.
thanks!
I have added all the sources from newspapers that are relevant, it is mentioned in other articles Tartu Teaduspark, but I can't see how I can use those because they are not abut the park. I can't replace the sources from the European Union agencies as the information isn't available anywhere else. Also the sources in its other wiki article are not better than what I have used. Ilyina Olya Yakovna (talk) 12:15, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
I see your dilemma. There is English Wikipedia and Wikipedias in other languages. Different Wikipedias have slightly different rules. Some are stringent while some are not that strict.
I understand, your policy is very stringent. The article has issues which mean it can't be approved on English Wikipedia. That is alright I can maybe rewrite it later if more newspapers make reports about the park. I don't know how to get the draft out of the articles for creation process, please make it a normal draft again, don't delete it as I may be able to make it acceptable later.

Heliosxeros, I submitted the article on the online music publication Soundblab that you rejected because it did not have reliable sources. Can you elaborate for me? THis is my first submission, I looked over the guidelines and I'm wondering if you rejected it because I didn't have a source for the quote I used? The source is the person I attributed the quote to, the creator of Soundblab, Bob Coyne. He gave me this quote in an email correspondence. How would I include that information (assuming that is the reason you rejected the article)? Thanks.2601:89:C701:AE4:ECD1:5CF:CE37:4081 (talk) 23:00, 15 January 2018 (UTC)Jeff Penczak

Hi 2601:89:C701:AE4:ECD1:5CF:CE37:4081. Your submission was rejected because it doesn't have any references. Wikipedia requires you to cite the sources you used as prove to support your facts on the article. Your reference must be reliable, meaning they must be trust-worthy. E.g. a major newspaper, a factual, widely-published book, high-quality generally trusted mainstream publications and not homepages, user-generated content like blogs, MySpace, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, fansites, Twitter, or other forms of wikis. You could use SoundCloud as a role model to construct your article. There is a list of references on the soundcloud article. That is what you need. Moreover, the history and writers sections are considered to be written in a promotional tone..There is a guide on how to make your articles sound more impartial in tone.EROSmessage02:10, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

Hello, thank you for your review! I am the author of Draft:MyChat. MyChat was initially oriented on Russian and Ukrainian audience, so we actually have reliable second sources but they are written in Russian language.

Your review of Draft:Smarter Analyst
Hi, I came across your review of Draft:Smarter Analyst. As this is not a biography there's no need for inline references. Citation style isn't a valid decline reason. Take a look at WP:CITESTYLE for the various styles of citation and WP:MINREF for the cases where inline references are required. I would have declined that draft for other reasons, though. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 14:58, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
I have just gone through the references in the draft. Your comment to the submitter was "References are good and diverse". I strongly disagree. These references are mere mentions of the company. A good reference would be one that discussed the company in depth. These don't have anything at all about Smarter Analyst. This is just a WP:PROMO piece and has no place in Wikipedia. I have tagged it for speedy deletion. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 17:19, 17 January 2018 (UTC)

15:30:53, 22 January 2018 review of submission by Stevendalyinsitu
thank you for reviewing the page I have created for the artists Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige. I am trying to add more information about French artists to wikipedia as many are missing in English. when i first created the page, I took a lot of info from their website so thats why i think it has been rejected twice. Now, however, I have removed much of the subjective information, done more research, cited from a range of sources and kept it as factual and objective as possible.
Do let me know if there's anything else I should do,
Greetings User:Stevendalyinsitu. Are you sure you are the creator? I ask this because it wasn't indicated that this account created the page. Anyhow, it is odd that your page features two artiste at a go. And since this is a biography, you must incline your references as facts you write might be challenged. The reason given for being rejected twice is that your submission reads too much like an advertisement. Writing style and tone for the article must be neutral and impartial. You would have to look out for some words that would make your article feel bias. You could browse around Wikipedia and find other French artiste of similar artistry and stage to model after and improve your submission. Cheers. EROSmessage03:12, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

I'm confused about why the addition was rejected. I included two articles from well-known and estblished newspapers that are more than 50 years old. Why was this insufficient evidence? I just copied an article from the newspaper.
Do I need more than two legitimate press/media articles? How many must I provide? Will podcasts and interviews on red carpets help?
It's weird that the entry I submitted was rejected for lack of notability.

Thanks for reviewing our page. I have a couple questions:
1. I know there are a lot of reviews in the queue, but I was hoping you could check out the Latroit page sometime shortly. He is an artist that is up for a Grammy in 2 days and we'd like to get the page live before then, if at all possible.
2. I'm not sure why our page is being redirected. I see this note at the bottom of the Review waiting panel: Warning: The page Latroit redirects to Magic (Mystery Skulls song). Please verify that it is not a copy of this submission and that this page does not need to be moved to a different title.
Greetings, Loudbabyjoe. Thank you for understanding that we have many reviews in queue. May I know if you are paid to write about the singer as you used "we". If so, you have to declare that you are being paid to write. There are still many sentences which are not inclined with citation. As a biography, inclined citations are a must which will be the proof when facts are challenged. Moreover, the Grammy Nominated Remix of Depeche Mode's 'You Move is rather written in an editorial tone. You could refer to other grammy nom. artists for better construction of your article.

15:24:11, 28 January 2018 review of submission by Emailgb123
Unsure why Han Jin draft does not meet specifications. The note talks about citations, but the editors on the help page seem to think it's a problem with notability.
Pages like the examples above may be tagged as stubs, or similar, but they exist as pages. Which makes it seem that this page falls into the unfortunate circumstance that publication is prevented simply because there's a pre-existing redirect of the same name. Yet the page redirected to contains even less relevant information pertaining specifically to the title's topic. So, it would seem that this page's publication would increase Wikipedia's relevant information on the topic.
Thank you very much for your quick initial review. However, an example illustrating the editorial problem would be appreciate. Is it the whole entry article or part of it?
Dear Heliosxeros,
thank You very much for reviewnig my article so soon!
if I correctly understood the message the acception problem for my article appeared because of the nature of the links mentioned in the article. Let me explain why I made such links - on a private site. As you already noticed this article is about a new experimental breed of cats called caracat. This cat breed was first accidentally created in the Moscow zoo. Information about this event is fixed in the German magazine, the paper original of which can not be linked - everything I can do is to specify the issue number and date of the magazine in which the event is described. Further, the story of this cat breed developed as follows: the caracat offspring was obtained in the USA by two people and this fact was fixed only on their personal accounts in the Facebook and YouTube. Both people who got the caracat kittens in the USA stopped their caracat programme for private reasons and no more info provided further on. Next, the caracat offspring was obtained in Russia by the felinologist Irina Nazarova - and she is the only one around the world who gets the caracacat kittens by now. It is Irina Nazarova who possesses all the information about the caracat breed, as she is the only one who develops this breed. All information about the caracat, including the responses of the caracat owners, Irina Nazarova places on her website (her caracat cattery Kataleya). Since no one except Irina Nazarova has detailed information on this cat breed, I therefore made references to her website as the only possible source of information for the article.
References to the Russian television reports I made on YouTube because the reports are kept there.
Please consider my explanation and I would be very thankful for Your acknowledge upon my article.

Hi, I've added another source to the biography of singer S. Wallfisch. Could you please be more specific, why an article is declined, when there are already a dozen of references and sources, thank you very much. Fu-Lank (talk) 14:15, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
@Fu-Lank: Greetings. First of all, there are numerous grammar errors which are best corrected. But more importantly, articles require significant coveragein reliable sources which are also independent of the subject. Eg. a major newspaper, a factual/widely-published book, high-quality generally trusted mainstream publications. The sources you provided relate closely to the Simon. It'll be even better if you can provide sources like local newspapers, classical books and journals about him, music magazines or major music publications. EROSmessage08:55, 4 February 2018 (UTC)

Dear Heliosxeros,
please see my article update according to the remarks You made earlier. I placed the references to each piece of text and also mentioned the German mass media name and issue where the fact of the caracat story beginnig was fixed. Let me explain the references again: so mostly the info inside the article is linked to the website of the caracat breed founder Irina Nazarova www.kataleyacat.com (for the reason I explained previously - cause she is the only one around the world who possesses the adequate and reliable info upon this subject). If I correctly inderstood the Wikipedia rules there are permits for the self-published material when its author is an established expert (Irina Nazarova is the expert) whose work in the relevant field has been published by reliable third-party publications (that the ICU organization (see further) which granted her the Status). Also I linked the info about caracat appearance standartds and some other to the ICU website (www.icun.ru - its the International Cat Union, the official worldwide organization to register and proceed cat clubs, breeds and the breeders).
Please note that mostly the linked recources are Russian language based for the reason the breed development is officially provided only in Russia. But for the readers the problem can easily be solved by using languages switching function provided by the websites.
Please let me know if I correctly understood Your remarks and carried out the corrections. Also please mention if it's convenient to discuss the article acception here at Your talk page (English is not my native language and I apologize in advance if I seeem to misunderstand You or the WikipediA rules!)
Thnak You!
YOu recently reviewed my first attempt at a new entry for Fry, Arizona. My question is that I used the same sources (and 2 additional ones) I see on other pages. There first section you marked as problematic uses the exact same sources used in every other city or place at wikipedia, so I do not understand what problem you see. One of the additional sources is a blog by the local historical society that has pictures of articles, as well as books and living history statements for things the books or media are not longer available. I disagree, as the other local pages (bisbee az[1], and sierra vista,az[2] comes to mind as they are local to me) contain large portions of "historical" info that is completely unsourced and portions disagree with the items in the local library. There is not much published history as the county has a small population for the size at around 130,000 people. SO by observation, the rule seems to be that if you do not cite or source things the entry is approved, but if you do cite they are not approved. I really am confused. If I am doing this at the wrong place or way please tell me. I do want do things the right way, and I am known for my research from my college papers 20 years ago through my current ones for the historical educational non-profit I'm a member of, all of which won awards. I hope I did this correctly, LOL! I am out of practice with any kind of coding and prefer the visual editor.
My page has been declined due to no reliable sources, but there are many upcoming video games on Wikipedia and the page is neutral, about an upcoming video game, with a lot of details and information. How can I add reliable sources, I mean, it's an upcoming indie game :)
Hello Heliosxeros. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of User:OMSEPC/sandbox/OMSEPC, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: G2 does not apply to user space, particularly sandboxes.

Hello,
Thank you most cordially for reviewing my first article at such a short notice. As I understood from your message there is a certain problem with the citations. However, I went through some similar Wikipedia articles concerning the topic of contemporary Serbian writers/artists and I can't seem to find where exactly the mistakes were made. Please, would you be so kind as to give me an exact example of how I should excel the article. Hopefully you can help me understand in which manner I should change the citations you find inadequate, so that I could improve my writing concerning this article as well as the future ones.
Thank you very much, best regards!

Thanks for reviewing this, I guess it was declined for reading as an advertisement, but I'm honestly perplexed by that, since I'm not sure who I would be advertising? I am incredibly surprised wikipedia does not have a page about masternodes as of yet, as people will be looking to find out what they are and thought it would be a good idea to write one. I would like any help on the reason it was declined or the changes to be made. Thanks

75.69.68.220: First of all, are you the original author? Because the ori author stated on the submission wasn't you. Anyway, it reads like an advertisement due to the editorial style of writing. Your submission very much looks like an extract from a catalogue with Type of Services and leads like Why masternodes need a collateral to be created and What is a server and why does a masternode need one?. If you browse around Wikipedia, you will find none with such style of writing. Instead, articles on Wikipedia are written with neutrality. Please visit Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Words to watch, WP:SPAMBAIT and WP:PROMOTION to get a much deeper clarity. EROSmessage02:12, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
Rejection For Unreliable Sources
Greetings EROS, and thank you for taking the time to review my articles. I have a question. YouTube is not a reliable source for sourcing informnation, as in, what is being said during the video. However, it should be a realiable source for providing data. Meaning, when I cited YouTube, I was just proving the existence of the video itself.
For Example, this a line chosen at random from Unbox Therapy draft:
Lewis posted his first video on December 27th 2010. He was showcasing an Apogee One that he received for Christmas. This video has garnered over 200 thousand views.[9]
The purpose of this source is to prove that what I said.
A video was uplaoded on December 27th,
It received over 200 thousand views
It was about an Apogee One
Can't all 3 of these bits of information be proven by a YouTube link? It shows the "Upload Date", "The View Count", and "The Title Of The Video"
Another question would be, if I can't use the actual YouTube video to prove the video exists...then do I even need to source it?
Would it be acceptable to say:
Lewis posted his first video on December 27th 2010. He was showcasing an Apogee One that he received for Christmas. This video has garnered over 200 thousand views.
Without a source?
The same goes for the Google Play link. I was linking to the app just to prove that the company has an app. I can't think of a better way to back up that info. So if I'm not allowed to source to app to prove of its existence, then does such a thing even need to be sourced? Also Twitter, I was trying to prove that the tweet itself does exist, not using what was said in the tweet as a source.
I don't understand what makes my article look like an advert. The writing style is surely neutral.
Also, in regard to the company not being notable, it is ABTA approved and the biggest firm in its field. I can see smaller competitors with less notability and no recognition with wiki pages so why should my page not be accepted?

Hi Heliosxeros. Thank you for reviewing my new page submission. Would you be able to tell me why it was not successful? Were the sources not worthy enough, or were there simply not enough citations?
Hello! You reviewed a page I tried to put up about a month ago on the International Pole Sports Federation. I edited it once to add in peer-reviewed publications but another reviewer said it still did not seem neutral. I edited it again to try to include some controversies. Would you mind giving me more specific feedback on what else I perhaps need to change? I tried to copy other sports federation pages and just lay out the basics of the federation. I wanted the federation to have a page because the International Pole Sports Federation is the one that is recognized by GAISF which has come up quite a bit in the news in the recent year. Thanks-Dmfennell (talk) 23:08, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
@Dmfennell: The tone of your writing is at fault here. There is no doubt that the federation has significance and notability to the article but you could fine tune your style of writing to be more encyclopaedic. You could visit Wikipedia:NPOV for more clarity. EROSmessage08:38, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
Are you talking about the current version or the old version because I visited the page you suggested in December. I added in more sources, peer-reviewed journal articles as well as items from the news. I also changed my tone. Previously I talked about the IPSF's goals and if they met them. Instead, in my rewrite I copied the tone of what I saw in other federation pages and gave basic facts about the organization, the competition they host, and how the public views the organization. If you have any other tips please let me know so I can get to more editing. Thanks for your time and help. Dmfennell (talk) 14:37, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
@Dmfennell: I refer to the current version. There is still editorial style of writing to the submission. Try to make it concise and less like writing a column article. EROSmessage07:40, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
Thanks for your fast reply. I changed the tone and made things more concise. In the meantime, another reviewer commented that I needed different sources for notability. I have since added in more sources. It is true that limited sources exist on this organization. However, other pole organizations have wikipedia pages and they are not the internationally recognized governing body for pole sports...hence I thought the IPSF worthy of inclusion. If you have any further guidance, please let me know. I am sure you are busy so thank you for your help. Dmfennell (talk) 19:16, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
Submission declined; ITF Junior Masters
Submission is improperly sourced is what you said. Every piece of information is sourced from official sources (ITF), from the root source. Every piece. How is it improperly sourced???? I demand an explanation. If ITF is not reliable than you can immediately shut down wikipedia as all of its sources are crap/fake/non reliable.
Apart from souring, many parts of the submission won't qualify. Which parts?? This is a new tournament. You have all the information that can be expected from a tournament page at this stage of the tournament. If this is not adequate than you can direct your attention to, for example, pages of tennis exhibition tournaments which can read like an advert to quote you. I will correct myself, they are adverts, for jewelry company and such. 213.149.51.161 (talk) 11:52, 13 February 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I do not understand why the page on Agile Learning [1]was considered advertisement. Agile learning is a concept that spreads out among educational scientists and researchers in Europe. Some base it on research and some apparently not. There is noboby owning this, nobody making money with it and nobody paying royalties. Instead it is an issue in several research projects, one of them currently funded by the EU and involving several countries. The page is meant to give an overview to interested parties on how the term is used and where the discussion takes place at the moment, citing 15 sources from a number of countries - including the US, where it does not seem to be very popular. A lot more research papers, publications and web pages had been checked but did not seem to contribute something substantial. We would be glad to be informed about more cntributions - also critical ones if they exist somewhere. But please allow the discussion and development of the term and the concept to continue.
Thanks and all the best

Hey Heliosxeros, first of all thank you for reviewing the draft I've submitted. The fact though that the draft has been rejected makes me wonder why the cited sources are not reliable. There are other apps like ours that have pages, and their sources are less credible - please have a look at this example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Doctor. If those are credible sources and ours aren't... and in our case, what would be a reliable source?
Thank you.

Hello, could you explain better as to why my submission was rejected. I'd like to do the necessary correction(s) in order to get a positive review. Thanks.
I think this rejection:
"This submission appears to be taken from scottholmquist.com/sz.html." from you is not justified.
I was gathering the information from several reliable places and not at all taken from the artist's website. For sure I used it for some personal references, but all exhibitions and other activities of this artist are linked to external websites.
Please let me know which part you think not appropriate for publishing in Wikipedia.
Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Bearcat was:
This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of people, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.
The comment the reviewer left was:
Cleveland TN is not a large enough city that its mayors would be automatically presumed to pass WP:NPOL just for being mayors, but the sourcing here isn't really meeting the standard we would require to actually accept him as notable. More than half of the references here are either primary sources that do not count as support for notability at all, or brief namechecks of his existence in coverage about other things. While there are few sources that are more substantively about him than most of the others, there aren't enough of them -- every mayor of everywhere could always show at least as much coverage about him as has been shown here. To consider the mayor notable in a place this size, we would need to see evidence that he's substantially more notable than most other mayors of most other places this size, but that's not what the sources here are showing.
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.
If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Tom Rowland and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Tom Rowland, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and save.

I apologize on behalf of Wikipedia for the inconvenience, but the AFC review tool just automatically notifies the person who it deems as the "submitter" of the page — it offers me as the reviewer no way to choose (or even to know) who it's going to notify, but just does its own thing once I hit save on my reviewer comment. You might want to take it up with the programmers who created that tool as a bug report, but there's nothing I could have done differently to make the notification go to anybody else — the system just automatically picked you because your actions technically made you the page's submitter for the purposes of how that software works, and it gives me no opportunity to even try to send the notification to somebody else instead. My apologies again, but it's an automated process that page reviewers have no control over. Bearcat (talk) 14:48, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
