Concerning your question at Articles for deletion/Thomas Pastor
I saw your comment at Articles for deletion/Thomas Pastor and wanted to try to explain what RS is, among other things. On Wikipedia, RS is short for reliable sources, information about which is detailed at Reliable sources. The issue with that article is that it does not currently meet Wikipedia's criteria for notability, namely WP:GNG and WP:BASIC. WP:GNG goes into some detail about what kind of sources are needed, namely significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. All of the sources currently in the article are lacking in some way. Some are affiliated directly with the individual, such as this, some do not have significant coverage, such as this, or are interviews with the individual, such as this.

Essentially, to show notability an article must have multiple reliable sources that are independent of the subject (Independent sources), which the article at present lacks. Since you mentioned that you were working with the individual I would also ask that you please read Conflict of interest. I know that's a lot of information I just linked, but together they present a much more thorough explanation than I could. If, after reading the relevant pages you have any questions, you can visit Teahouse where editors are very skilled at answering questions. Thank you. - Aoidh (talk) 17:17, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
