Malcolm "Puck" Puckering moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Malcolm "Puck" Puckering. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability, it is promotional and reads like an advertisement and you may have a possible Conflict of Interest. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. S0091 (talk) 17:45, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

I have read the minimum standard for inline citations and do not see how my citations do not meet the requirements. Could you please give me specific example of a citation that is wrong. Mlondon101 (talk) 19:53, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

Pinging @Jlwoodwa but a lot of the content is unosurced and much of it is promotional in nature which falls under Any statement that you believe is likely to be challenged. For every statement you write ask yourself "according to whom?". If the answer is not a reliable secondary source independent from him which you cite, then it likely does not belong in the article. Honestly, the article needs to be rewritten. S0091 (talk) 20:06, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

That's strange – the decline option is labeled "Submission is a BLP that does not meet minimum inline citation requirements", but the message it generates doesn't mention WP:BLPRS. Sorry if that was unclear. Anyway, I can't give a specific example of a citation that is wrong because the issue is statements that lack citations, especially in Draft:Malcolm Puckering §§ Early life​ and Personal life. jlwoodwa (talk) 20:35, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

Hello, Mlondon101. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Draft:Malcolm Puckering, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.
