Your submission at Articles for creation: Peter Michael Maddock Pritchard (February 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 Sam Sailor 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.

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:Peter Michael Maddock Pritchard 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:Peter Michael Maddock Pritchard, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and save.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Peter Michael Maddock Pritchard (February 19)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by KJP1 was:

These reads like a tribute, rather than an article, and the wish to have a tribute to a person that achieved much in their life is understandable. But I'm afraid its not the purpose of Wikipedia. There are many memorial sites where such a tribute can be left.

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.

Welcome

Martyn - a quick, personal, note of welcome. Wikipedia can be an odd place, but it can also be a wonderful one. If I can assist at any time, just drop me a note on my Talkpage. My field is mainly architecture, rather than the medical world, but I may be able to help in navigating some of the peculiarities of our approach. Best regards. KJP1 (talk) 22:31, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that. I have to say that the piece on Peter MM Pritchard was my first real attempt at a contribution. So I am still on a bit of a learning curve. Thanks for your help, advice and support - much appreciated Martyn GT (talk) 22:34, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

And here's to more. : colons are good for breaking the conversation into comprehensible bites. KJP1 (talk) 23:14, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
