Your submission at Articles for creation: Bruce F. Damer (March 20)

Latest comment: 7 months 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 Utopes 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 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 comment the reviewer left was:

Sources should be reliable and independent of the subject in order to prove the subject's notability, in line with Wikipedia's notability guidelines. The references to Digibarn.com and Bamer's personal website, as well as the paper that Bamer published, do not establish notability, as they are connected to the subject.

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:Bruce F. Damer 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.

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Ldm1954 were:

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

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 comment the reviewer left was:

There is almost nothing here that indicates notability. Most of the text is pure promo, very inappropriate and I have to wonder if this is autobiographical. Please pay more attention to how BLPs are structured or the next round may be a permanent delete.

Please can you offer actually editorial notes - not threats - we believe Dr. Damer is notable - he is a Honorary Doctorate and Distinguished Alumni Award winner from Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops BC - thus we would like to create a wiki page for him.

We do not see his page 'promo' or 'biographical' as Bruce legitimately has published research on where/how life was formed. So actual editorial notes would be appreciated. 206.123.161.39 (talk) 15:16, 24 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
