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

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:Lucy R. Forrest and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.

Hi Kvng!

This person has received the Margaret Oakley Dayhoff Award! On the award Wiki page, it is described as an award of national honor in the area of biophysics. Explain why this would not satisfy the academic-specific criteria number 2 ("The person has received a highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national or international level") notability requirement?

I don't see any reliable sources either cited in the article or in a web search substantiating the Margaret Oakley Dayhoff Award as being highly prestigious. ~Kvng (talk) 02:28, 23 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
