| Submission declined on 3 April 2024 by Dan arndt (talk). 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 content of this submission includes material that does not meet Wikipedia's minimum standard for inline citations. Please cite your sources using footnotes. For instructions on how to do this, please see Referencing for beginners. Thank you. Declined by Dan arndt 7 months ago. | |
Comment: This is depending far too heavily on primary sources that are not support for notability. For instance, you do not establish a writer as notable enough for a Wikipedia article by citing her writing to itself, or to its promotional profile on the self-published website of its own publisher, or to an online bookstore, as proof that the writing exists -- you have to cite her writing to third-party journalism about her and her writing, such as reviews of it by literary critics, as proof that it garnered independent attention from somebody other than herself and her employer.
And while there are a few sources scattered in here that do meet that standard, such as the National Post and The Globe and Mail and the CBC, they're extremely outnumbered by the bad primary sourcing that's making up the majority of the footnoting here. The rule isn't that an article is allowed to be based mainly on bad sourcing so long as there's a bit of GNG-worthy stuff in the mix -- it's that the article has to be based entirely on GNG-worthy sourcing with no bad sourcing in it at all.
