Your submission at Articles for creation: Alexander Greer (January 20)

Latest comment: 9 months ago3 comments2 people 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 Ldm1954 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:

He is making progress, but with a relatively modest h-factor of 32 and no major awards or society fellowships he does not really meet WP:NPROF. (The photo cute award is not a major awards.)

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.

Hello! I hope you're doing well. I would like to dispute part of what you wrote: "no major awards or society fellowships." My understanding is that an academic needs to meet one of 8 criteria. One of those criteria is "The person has held a highest-level elected or appointed administrative post at a major academic institution or major academic society."

In fact, the draft on Alexander Greer states "From 2020-2022, Professor Greer served as President of the American Society for Photobiology."

Given this point that I made here, could the decision be reconsidered? Thank you kindly and I hope you have a nice week. OliverT715 (talk) 17:45, 22 January 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 Jeromeenriquez was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

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.
