Regarding Draft:Nick Dulvy
I recently came across Draft:Nick Dulvy and thought I would leave you a few tips as to how you can get it approved faster. Please begin by reading the general notability guideline and Notability (academics). Most of your references are currently self-published. You should focus on finding more links like the IUCN one that satisfy the "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" guideline in order to get this article published. -  Sweet Nightmares  20:52, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

Hello SweetNightmares, Thanks for the tips. I have tried to edit the submission to improve the citations regarding the notability of Dulvy's work outside of academia. I left a comment on your page regarding the specific changes - not sure if this talk page is instead the place to discuss. Since this is my first article, I appreciate your constructive suggestions as I learn to navigate the Wikipedia guidelines. Labrid (talk) 16:59, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
