Your submission at Articles for creation


I noticed your submission in Articles for creation, Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Jason Gerard. Thanks! It will be reviewed by a volunteer soon.

Before it can be added to Wikipedia, your submission should have references. All articles on Wikipedia should have inline, numbered references after facts, showing the 'reliable source' (a newspaper, book, etc.) where the information can be checked, so that all information is verifiable.

Here's an example of how to add references: Chzz is 98 years old.&lt;ref> "The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. &lt;/ref>

He likes tea.&lt;ref> Smith, John. " Interview with Chzz", Foo News, 1 April 2010. Retrieved 2011-05-22.

== References ==

That makes the references automatically display as small numbers[1] which will link to the details in the section titled == References == at the end. You can see that example in action here.

Please add references to your submission, which will be reviewed as soon as possible. See also, Referencing for beginners. If you need any help, just put at the end of this page, followed by a question or get into our live help chat chanel at.

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Jason Gerard
Hi, I just thought I'd drop you a note about your submission at AfC, I see it has now been declined three times, by two different reviewers. To be honest if it appeared on my review list, in its present format, I'd have no choice to decline it also. I'm taking the time to message you because I can see you have put a lot of time and work into this submission. I am conscious that the standard decline template you keep seeing has probably not explained sufficiently, Wikipedia's various policies and guidelines. When it comes to articles about living people, (what we call a BLP or Biography of Living Person) there are very specific guidelines which must be met, you can read these at WP:BLP. In addition, as a musician, Jason Gerard needs to meet the additional notability criteria to be found at WP:MUSICBIO. If it cannot be shown, using reliable sources, that he meets those criteria, it is very unlikely we will be able to include him in the encyclopedia. Finally, as an encyclopedia, it is impotent that Wikipedia articles are written from a neutral point of view. Currently, this submission is a bit too promotional to be accepted (even if the notability and referencing concerns were sorted out) as it includes some words and phrases that present a point of view rather than hard facts. The section on 'Stage Image' in particular, highlights this concern. Finally, some of the external links you have added are not permitted in Wikipedia articles, you can find details of what is not allowed at WP:ELNO; generally speaking, social media sites are not permitted. I hope you are not disheartened by these comments as they are designed to help you in improving your submission; however, I must stress that notability and reliable references are the two most important issues to address in order for the submission to be accepted as an article.
