Your submission at Articles for creation: Bourke Floyd (December 28)[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 Jamiebuba 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.

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:Bourke Floyd 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.

Thank you for your review and the constructive notes. I’m not sure but perhaps he isn’t worthy of an article. He’s been in so many shows and movies recently and he has so many followers on his verified Instagram I just thought he deserved one. Privately, I know that he lost a child a while ago and is pretty low key about interviews and things of that nature because he doesn’t talk about why he left the public eye for so long. The deadline article mentioning him in the cast of The Locksmith and some of the others, those don’t qualify? I guess I figured him being in the public-eye would do it.

thank you again and any further direction would be very much appreciated. AlexandraWade (talk) 22:17, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, AlexandraWade! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing.

Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, AlexandraWade. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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 organizations 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);
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.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. 331dot (talk) 22:27, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for sending this. I answered in the treehouse post as well. I don’t know Bourke Floyd, I have met him at events and was in attendance as a fan at the event in which I took those photos but I’ve never communicated with him outside of that time and a fan convention I attended. I like his work and what he seems to stand for but I understand that being a fan doesn’t make him notable by Wikipedia standards. Having said that, I did attempt to write the article in a completely neutral base stating only the work for which he is credited and with no tilt towards how I feel about that work. I would hope that the article was declined on the basis of the subject not qualifying as notable and not on the basis of a conflict of interest since I do not know him personally.

Thanks for your answer. 331dot (talk) 22:40, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Learning as I go and it’s already been amazing to have had people like yourself help guide me.

thank you again! AlexandraWade (talk) 22:42, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
