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.

| Submission declined on 1 May 2025 by HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk). This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies. Declined by HickoryOughtShirt?4 2 months ago. | |
Comment: The cited sources still are heavily tied to the subject of the article, either by authorship or by her organization. Reference 5 *might* be supportive of notability, but it's mostly just a short bio in an announcement. Other mentions are trivial in pieces about other topics. We need significant independent coverage specifically about the subject. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 10:57, 29 May 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: Hello, I am declining your draft because it doesn't yet demonstrate how the subject meets our notability guidelines. That's not to say that she doesn't (or couldn't in the future), but it must be supported and verifiable in the sourcing. Right now, all of the references are either 1) primary (written by subject herself) or 2) non-independent (affiliated w/ the heritage alliance). I encourage you to review our policies on reliable sources and verifiability for notability in biographies. Thank you, Zzz plant (talk) 22:01, 1 May 2025 (UTC)
