Hello, I'm KRtau16. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Jenny Slaughter, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. KRtau16 (talk) 02:26, 26 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

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

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs to

meet any of the eight academic-specific criteria
or cite multiple reliable, secondary sources independent of the subject, which cover the subject in some depth

Make sure your draft meets one of the criteria above before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If the subject does not meet any of the criteria, it is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Well written article, but the subject doesn't appear to meet WP:NACADEMIC.

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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Thomas L. Rodgers and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Hi

I am unsure why this has been rejected - it is to the same level as already published people, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenny_Slaughter who Thomas has worked with. The article meets academic criteria 1, but I understand this can be debated. What can't be debated is criteria 2, where Thomas has won the internationally prestigious Morton Medal, which has been linked with an external independent reliable source.
