Your submission at Articles for creation: Philip Beesley (December 19)

Latest comment: 1 year ago2 comments1 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 Jamiebuba 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.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Philip Beesley 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.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

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

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

The comment the reviewer left was:

"Early life and education" is unreferenced.

"In the past, Beesley has held positions at several universities and institutions, including the University of Nottingham, the Bartlett, the Royal Danish Academy, the Pratt Institute of Design, and Dalhousie University." All unreferenced.

"He is the recipient of multiple awards, including the Prix de Rome for Architecture, the Far Eastern International Digital Architecture Award (FEIDAD) [...]" Seemingly unreferenced.

There's no expectation that the first version of an article will be even halfway fleshed out. But as I read this draft, it seems less like an embryonic encyclopedia article, more like a draft CV. First: "His Toronto-based practice, Philip Beesley Studio Inc., works in numerous collaborations, including long-standing exchanges with Iris van Herpen, Salvador Breed, Rob Gorbet, and Matt Gorbet." Collaborations/exchanges on what? Secondly, if "his work is widely cited in art and architecture for its contributions to the field of responsive and interactive systems", and if some of these citations say something substantive (rather than merely listing his name among others), then why not start the work of summarizing what they say?

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.

COI?

Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The combination of your editing history (seemingly devoted to Philip Beesley and the Living Architecture Systems Group) and your username suggests that you could have a conflict of interest, as briefly described in Wikipedia's Plain and simple conflict of interest guide. If indeed you do, then please disclose it. Note in particular that that page says:

The Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use require editors to disclose their employer, client, and affiliation with regard to any contribution to Wikipedia for which they receive, or expect to receive, compensation. If you are being paid to edit, you can disclose your COI on affected talk pages using {{connected contributor (paid)}}

Such payment doesn't have to be specifically for creation/augmentation/improvement/redaction of drafts or articles. It can instead be a salary for a job of which working on Wikipedia articles is merely a very minor part. -- Hoary (talk) 23:57, 12 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
