Your submission at Articles for creation: Geoff Weigand (November 7)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Onel5969 was:

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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Might be notable, but many of the refs are of the sort which don't go to notability. They are either non-rs (like Sport of Today), or are interviews (which can't be used to show notability), or are of the type which are good to cite for facts, but not necessarily to show notability (like Crag). The Climbing article is nice, except it's an interview, as is the Rock & Ice piece. You'll need 3 in-depth articles about him (not interviews) to show his notability. Might be difficult, with this sport not being covered much, but that's what you'll need. But I'm not declining for notability, just showing what you'll need. I am declining because the article is written in a very informal style, which also has touches of POV. You definitely can't use interviews as references for facts (like using the Rock & Ice piece as the citation to say "he was one of the leading climbers in Australia", and drop words like "notable", "hardest", etc. Those are opinions, and shouldn't be stated as facts. You can say, with proper sourcing, "many consider this route to be the most difficult", or "in a poll of mountain climbers this route was voted the most difficult". Hope this helps.

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.
