Your submission at Articles for creation: Jeremy Atherton Lin (April 17)

Latest comment: 1 year 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 reasons left by Asilvering were:

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.

The proposed article does not have sufficient content to require an article of its own, but it could be merged into the existing article at Gay Bar: Why We Went Out. Since anyone can edit Wikipedia, you are welcome to add that information yourself. Thank you.

The comment the reviewer left was:

I recommend expanding the article on his book instead and giving it an "author" section for the other content about his education, essays, etc, and creating a redirect from Jeremy Atherton Lin to the book article.

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:Jeremy Atherton Lin 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.

Thank you, I hope my updates provide what was missing. Please note, Atherton Lin is the only winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Memoir and Autobiography since 1985 to not have a Wikipedia article. Smallsafari (talk) 22:13, 17 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
