Your submission at Articles for creation: Sam Laidlow (May 7) edit

Latest comment: 3 years 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 reason left by CommanderWaterford was:

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 for sports persons and athletes). 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.

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.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Sam Laidlow and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Sam Laidlow, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 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.

See you there! CommanderWaterford (talk) 07:35, 7 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

@CommanderWaterford: Hello and thank you for reviewing. I now added more reference links from Triathlon magazines, that no only mention him but feature him. Also a reference from a Triathlon Podcast where the full podcast was an interview with Sam Laidlow. Also newspaper reference links. I looked up guidelines for sports persons. Sam set a record and he beat more than 15 male pros in the Zwift race. Do you think that is sufficient already? Thank you for your support. BlueSonne (talk) 19:45, 7 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
