Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions; however, it appears you may have written a Wikipedia article, or a draft for a Wikipedia article, about yourself. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – please see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Notable people who have edited Wikipedia). If you wish to add to or change an existing article about yourself, you are welcome to propose the changes by visiting the article's talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was the page I created deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss this with the deleting administrator. Thank you. 2601:19E:4180:6D50:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 17:02, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate the input and am aware of the guidelines. I concur with goal of encyclopedic principles in objectivity. When this was first written, a similar admonition was given and I removed the offering. However, another editor (please see comment by Pigsonthewing, in the thread below) encouraged me to resubmit, after adding more citations and uploading one my renderings to the Wikimedia commons gallery. Still, I welcome any edits to refine that goal of objectivity. In the event the article is not approved, I will likely not pursue the matter further. Thank you.

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

The sources listed in this article gives minimal amount of information about the subject of this draft.

Consequently, many claims in this article lack sources, and even basic details like date of birth and nationality are unable to be verified.

See WP:SIGCOV for type of sources that this draft needs.

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:Steven George Artley 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.
