Article on slowest heartbeat in a healthy human
Good evening Excirial. I have sent you an email but am not sure if i have done it right so though i would shoot this quick message across. i submitted small article ref the record for the slowest heartbeat in a healthy human and linked the ref to guinness book of records. but it was rejected as not having verifiable sources?!?! (i think) I did look again at rejection letter thing the other day and noted that people shouldnt really have an article for one thing, but you will find a lerge article with pictures and bits on the guy who has the world record for most tattos and that is his only claim to fame. am i missing something here?? please help as i would like to resubmitt this article for a record that is not only of medical and entertainment value but is something that interests us many athletes. many thanks for your time $hady — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shady Space Pirate (talk • contribs) 21:08, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Hiyas there Shady Space Pirate,


 * The decline is somewhat of a combination of two decline reasons (Hence that it may seem confusing). In order for any subject to be considered notable it needs to have received extensive coverage in multiple reliable sources of sufficient size that are independent of its subject. Quite simply put any article needs three (Four) things:
 * It must have received extensive coverage - that is, all sources should be at least a paragraph or two in size (No passing mentions)
 * The sources must be reliable. For example: Large newspapers are considered reliable, personal blogs aren't.
 * The sources must be independent of the subject. Sources that are written by someone close to the subject fail this criteria - For example: if i were to write an article about myself i couldn't use it to source an article detailing myself.
 * And a subset of "substantial coverage" - Coverage must be long-term. If all the newspapers decide to write an article an article about a specific person on a specific day due to some random event this doesn't count towards notability. (For example: Falcon Heene is a redirect to Balloon boy hoax)


 * The last sub-criteria is also where WP:BLP1E comes around the corner. BLP1E deals with biographies detailing persons who only received coverage for one event, and are unlikely to receive further media attention. Now here is the tricky distinction - BLP1E only applies to low profile individuals, with low profile being defined as "They haven't attempted to receive as much media coverage as possible". Lucky Diamond Rich, the tattoo guy, is quite actively promoting his tattoos which means he can't be broomed in that criteria. The article on Martin John Brady doesn't display he has attempted to gain as much coverage as possible so it falls under the low profile criteria (Note: I can only base my assessment on the article - if he has actively promoted himself that would change this story).


 * Well, quite a long text. As for the article, you would need to demonstrate that Martin intended to receive attention (See Who is a low profile individual). Additionally, you would need a few more reliable sources covering him. While the Guinness book of records is quite a lot of fun, it also contains records such as "Most scorpions held in mouth" to "Most lightbulbs detected as on or off while blindfolded in a minute". So purely basing an article on it may create quite a few fringe biographies. Or to put it in a more... policy supported argument: The general notability guideline requires multiple sources.
