Draft:Laura Bliss

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • Comment: All 4 prior declines indicate that the sourcing present is insufficient as it does not meet the standard of our notability criteria, being that they are reliable sources which provide significant coverage to Laura Bliss and of which are completely disconnected from her. Almost every source is material that Laura has written or co-written, with most other sources being interviews (which are non-independent) or are otherwise being unrelated to her. Based on me doing a cursory search online, I cannot find any sourcing which may satisfy our notability. Thus, I am unfortunately going to reject this draft. If the draft submitter can find 3 sources which they believe meet our notability standards, and can explain how they do so on my talk page, I will reverse my rejection. —Sirdog (talk) 05:34, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: Wikipedia subjects need in-depth coverage (full-length articles, not just passing mentions) in usually at least 3 reliable sources that are not written by or affiliated with the subject. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 07:48, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment: The key problem with this draft right now is that none of the references seem to be about the subject. WP:GNG calls for significant coverage about the subject in independent reliable sources. Merely linking to the subject's work is not enough. Tagishsimon (talk) 03:08, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment: Sources need to be independent to help establish notability.
    Sources need to correctly verify statements, for example the claim that she founded Maplab leads to the front page of that website, which makes no such claim. Greenman (talk) 07:29, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
