Your submission at Articles for creation: Maurice Pollet (August 17)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Theroadislong 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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Findagrave is not a reliable source.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Maurice Pollet (August 18)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by DoubleGrazing 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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

I don't see clear notability of any flavour here. The sources are not enough to establish it by WP:GNG. There's nothing obviously meeting WP:AUTHOR. And as for WP:NACADEMIC, I struggle to see how someone whose "most significant academic work was his doctoral thesis" could possibly be notable under that guideline, either (although there is in the 'Scholarly Contributions' section the slightest hint that NACADEMIC #1 might be a prospect?). Or am I missing something?

Hello 2NumForlce, I moved the content in question from the Advance Ratio article because I thought it was beyond the its scope and more appropriate in Propeller Theory. I wonder why it wasn't picked up as copyright violation when it was there?
