Apparently my article was declined, but Casseopea didn't say why. Please elaborate.

Basaintl Hi, Good day. Comment could be found on the grey panel on top of the draft page Draft:HEB Tennis Center, and if you click on the blue highlighted texts, it will lead you to another page for more detail information. In brief, an article could make it to Wikipedia main space if the subject is notable and the content needs to be verified by multiple independent, reliable sources which the source talk about the subject in length and in dept and not only passing mentioned. You draft was declined because it did not meet the requirements above. Please read WP:GOLDENRULE for further information. Thank you. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 03:17, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I am so confused. I read this article: Quantum mysteries dissolve if possibilities are realities and wanted to learn more about Ruth E. Kastner, the lead author of the recent paper Taking Heisenberg’s Potentia Seriously. I started with a Google search, expecting her Wikipedia article to be near the top of the results, it was not so I went to Wikipedia and searched for her name. The closest result was an article about a field apparently related to her work Transactional interpretation. That page contains a stub link to her nonexistent page.

I followed a link about requesting that page be created. I do not see a way to do that. As near as I can tell, I am being encouraged to create a draft for that page. I feel totally unqualified to do that. After all, I came to Wikipedia to learn who Dr. Kastner is. Or is the notion that I create a blank page with her name on it, and hope that someone more knowledgable than I comes along and fixes it?

Hi BananaSlug. The main page for requesting that an article be written about something is Wikipedia:Requested articles. I've had mixed success requesting articles there: Ralph Harris (journalist) (requested 2015, written 2016), Hinners Organ Company (requested 2016, written 2018, but likely created by someone who never saw my request), Lawrence Ziring (requested 2017, not written yet), all topics I've been too busy to create myself. It's a slow process, and only works if the requester has a solid grasp of Wikipedia's notability (inclusion) criteria. Wikipedia doesn't try to have articles about everything that exists, only about things that have attracted significant attention from the world at large and over a period of time.
Looking at Kastner's publication history in Google Scholar - one book and one published journal article, with others at various stages of peer review and available only as pre-prints, it's unlikely that she meets WP:PROF at this point in her career. If you can find three independent, reliable, secondary sources that prove she does, go ahead (request an article or write a two-sentence one yourself). but if you can't find three, do nothing. If and when she clears the bar of notability, someone is bound to write about her here. --Worldbruce (talk) 14:26, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
