Your submission at Articles for creation: Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation (June 29)

Latest comment: 9 days ago2 comments1 person 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 SafariScribe was:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

A company/organisation should not inherit notability of its founder. Most of the sources, though some unreliable were all about the founders. Please find sources that are independent and significantly covers the organisation (PR release are not included).

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:Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation 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.

Draft:Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation

Latest comment: 8 days ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I noticed the chapter Philanthropy and Foundation in the book Arnold O. Beckman : one hundred years of excellence, which is a reliable secondary source, covers a lot of what your Wikipedia Draft discusses. Better to use it rather than (or in addition to) the foundation website, which is a primary source. Also, you do not use Wikipedia citation templates for your references. I fixed a number of them - hopefully that will give you a guide to fix the others. I'm just an interested Wikipedian happy to help out to improve the Draft so it can pass review. Let me know if you have any questions. Nnev66 (talk) 16:02, 30 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
