Your submission at Articles for creation: Samuel Neaman Institute (August 27)

Latest comment: 7 years 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 NewYorkActuary 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 organizations and companies, 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:

Most of the references added since the last decline are to the subject's own web site. Of the ones that aren't, one is an obituary of the founder which mentions the institute only in passing, another is a directory-type listing and the third mentions the institute only in passing (and, even then, only to document the identity of the institute's chairman, information that could just as easily have come from the organization's own website). The only new source that gave me pause was the two-paragraph write-up in the Merge Model text. However, the first of those two paragraphs is composed almost entirely of material quoted from the subject's own website. And although the second paragraph has some material apparently written by the book's authors and not sourced to the organization's web site, that material comprises only three sentences and addresses the subject only in generalities. But the value of even that little bit of coverage disappeared when I learned that one of the two authors of the book is a member of the organization's "team" (see Hazzan listing at http://www.neaman.org.il/Neaman2011/Templates/showpage.asp?DBID=1&LNGID=1&TMID=136&FID=833 ).

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.

Don't remove citations without giving a very good reason for doing so. Most of them are considered wp:reliable sources The content you replace did not wp:cite any wp:reliable source which is required per wp:verifiability Jim1138 (talk) 09:42, 31 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
