| Submission declined on 16 March 2024 by Johannes Maximilian (talk). 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. Declined by Johannes Maximilian 7 months ago. | |
| Submission declined on 27 September 2023 by Timtrent (talk). There is a difficulty with this draft. You have worked too hard to seek to prove she passes WP:BIO and it is backfiring on you .
Declined by Timtrent 13 months ago.You have created great swathes of wholly impenetrable referenced prose with lists of where she has appeared, or what she has written. Yes, they are referenced, but ni, they are not useful. Better would be to pick the most significant. Better still would be to use only what is said about her with significant coverage in independent reliable sources. Those articles: "Dr. Chervinsky has been published in..." Let me try to explain. If they manufactured vacuum cleaners, the cleaners would be their work. A vacuum cleaner could not be a reference for them, simply because it is the product they make. So it is with research, writings, etc. However, a review of their work by others tends to be a review of them and their methods, so is a reference, as is a peer reviewed paper a reference for their work. You have some work to do. Please prune out the unhelpful and work om introducing the helpful. Oh, notability. I'm pretty sure she is notable but not with this draft written this way, | |
