Your submission at Articles for creation: Edward JW Curtis (August 26)[edit]

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

needs more and better sources about this individual not simply academic papers describing the house he designed. No source confirms that this is the "first" such house

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:Edward JW Curtis 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.

Addition of sources to meet not6ability requirements[edit]

I apologise if my comments at AfC review were less than comprehensive. My real concern was not that the article hadn't demonstrated that the house was the "first". It was more as an illustration that more and better sources were needed. Sometime we (I) write in shorthand without enough thought for the reading audience. I do however remain concerned that the work that you are clearly undertaking is much more about the house rather than the person. The article is about a person and the sources need to discuss the person in depth.Hope that this helps. Velella ^{Velella Talk} 14:39, 26 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
