AfC notification: Draft:David Evans Shaw has a new comment[edit]

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:David Evans Shaw. Thanks! Greenman (talk) 19:16, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your comment! I think my best option is to delete the personal life section, since I can only find one appropriate citation for one of the facts that I included in that section. I'm a new editor / contributor, so I appreciate the guidance of more experienced users! Rowboat207 (talk) 15:13, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: David Evans Shaw (October 27)[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 CNMall41 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:

I can verify from the references he was involved with quite a few ventures, but there is only this source which goes in-depth about him. I did find this book which covers one of his venture and him in particular, but based on this AfD discussion I am not sure the publisher would be considered a reliable source.

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:David Evans Shaw 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.
