Sourcing for Elaine Avila
Hi! I'm the content expert for your course and I just wanted to drop you a note about your sourcing on the article for Elaine Avila. I noticed that you used all WP:PRIMARY sources for her article, meaning that you only used sourcing that came from Avila or from people or organizations affiliated with her. While you can use most primary sources to back up basic details, you also need to use secondary reliable sources in order to establish notability and to affirm the claims made in primary sources. No matter what they claim, a primary source cannot establish notability. I also want to caution you, as you used a source that should not be used on Wikipedia, namely Avila's Linkedin page. This is not seen as a reliable source on Wikipedia since it's seen as a social media-esque site (it can be seen as sort of an equivalent of Facebook for professionals) and because the nature of the site means that content on it is written to promote the individual and gain them work.

My biggest concern right now is that the article could be nominated for deletion if you do not provide sourcing to establish notability. If these secondary sources don't exist then Avila would fail notability guidelines for creative professionals (WP:NCREATIVE) and the article would have to be deleted.

Ways to improve Elaine Avila
Hi, I'm Nsk92. Jgitta02, thanks for creating Elaine Avila!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Most of the references lack publication details, such as the source title and publication date

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.
