Your submission at Articles for creation: Colin Robertson (Millennial Woes) (January 11)

Latest comment: 6 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

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:

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:

Twenty of the 26 Sources are the subject's own YouTube postings. The remainder provide coverage of a single speech made in November 2016. There is nothing indicating any coverage since, which suggests to me that the subject is not Notable. Moreover, the tone is promotional/non-neutral; "he unflinchingly deconstructs the established discourses", "famously intimate in style", "his intimate, friendly style ... has built up a loyal following"; "to intimidating him into silence", "Deliberate and arguably irresponsible references to his home's location". All uncited, or cited only to his own videos. The single-purpose editor who has written the article may also need to read our Conflict of interest policies.

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.
