This is really b.s.! Elizabeth Baron was on television and radio for almost 40 years of her life. She's had hundreds of articles written about her. How much more "notable" do you want? I've seen people on Wikipedia who had nowhere near the publicity she had in her lifetime!

The thing is, you haven't shown us her notability, because you haven't provided us with these hundreds of articles you say exist. You need to show significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject to show notability. You need to add these articles you say exist to the submission to show her notability.- Happysailor (Talk) 15:38, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to add something to an existing article, then you are in the wrong place as this project is about creating new articles. You can edit the article directly at Olly olly oxen free, or ask on it's talk page at Talk:Olly olly oxen free - Happysailor (Talk) 15:40, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
You can also request edits on Wikipedia:Requested edits, but bear in mind that this is the English Wikipedia, and the article is about the English language expression. FoCuS contribs; talk to me! 18:41, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is introduction to a person's profile, what references do you expect?

Wikipedia does not accept profiles. It accepts articles about notable people. Click that blue link to see what this implies. Maproom (talk) 18:25, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

18:59:01, 7 September 2015 review of submission by Vinodh Moodley

I recently submitted an article on Greger Huttu and it was declined. The reasons for the article being declined was due to the subjects notability and referencing of information that's verifiable. My reason for submitting the article is to record the achievements of arguably the world's best sim racing driver.

I have included several references to multiple websites and even added a link today to a magazine article validating these achievements. Can someone with more experience please check the article and give me some direct pointers on what I did wrong. Any help is appreciated.

@Vinodh Moodley: For a review of changes made subsequent to the draft being declined, you'll need to submit it again and wait for the drafts ahead of it to be served (as I'm sure you understand, this help desk isn't a way to jump the queue). With respect to the draft as it stood when it was declined, the racer's team and the race sponsor are not arms-length sources, they have a vested interest in promoting Huttu. The only independent source cited was Gamespot. Some editors might discount that article as being too niche, of interest to too limited an audience to indicate notability. In any case, you'll need multiple independent, reliable, secondary sources to show notability. If such sources prove elusive, please consider trying to improve an existing article in the same space, such as Sim racing or even GameSpot, both of which are a mess and need a lot of work.
