Your submission at Articles for creation: Bill King (politician) (March 23)[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 Hammersoft 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:

There's lots of references here, but none of them are particularly high quality. Amazon.com? Wikipedia itself? His website? Please find reliable, secondary sources that discuss him. Further, please read WP:NPOL. --Hammersoft (talk) 03:02, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

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 when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Bill King (politician) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Bill King (politician), click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and will be deleted.
If you need any assistance, 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.

Please help me with... My article on Bill King - a candidate for Mayor of Houston was rejected as the reviewer said that although there were lots of references, "none of them are particularly high quality" I edited, removed references from Amazon.com, Wikipedia, and reduced the references from his website to only one for bio purposes. I added additional numerous, reliable, secondary sources that discuss him and updated the images. I don't know what else to do to get the article approved and active.

If no other sources exist, it's rather unlikely there can be an article. Merely running in an election does not make someone notable, he needs significant in depth coverage in independent reliable sources. Praxidicae (talk) 19:58, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The person in question is not merely a candidate but has previously served as mayor of a Texas city. He lost the election in 2015 in the closest election in Houston's history. He has had significant in-depth coverage from numerous reliable independent secondary sources. Additionally, in the interest of informing the voters, this info should be made available, from an impartial source rather than the campaign website. --PinkAuthor (talk) 20:13, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Being the mayor of any city doesn't automatically equate to notability, so you'll still have to provide those sources. Praxidicae (talk) 20:26, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
