Request on 09:28:11, 7 January 2018 for assistance on AfC submission by Fl82
Yesterday I submitted my first article for review and it was declined. It was difficult to understand all the requirements so it was expected in a way, but now I would like to know why it was declined so that I can edit it and get the article accepted.

This is the draft that was submitted: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Camille_Harris

 * Hi . The best source of information about a review is usually the reviewer. There's no obvious problem with the density of inline citations, but the first one supports only year of birth, which may leave reviewers wondering where the month and day came from, and whether you know them because you have an undeclared conflict of interest. Also, nickzaino is a self-published blog. Self-published sources may never be cited to support statements about a living person.


 * Had I reviewed the draft, I would have declined it too, but for another reason. There is no clear claim of notability, no clear reason the subject should be included in an encyclopedia with the likes of Bix Beiderbecke, Diane Schuur, and Nina Simone. A musician may be notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple independent, reliable, secondary sources. The only cited source that ticks all the boxes is an article in her hometown newspaper Boulder Weekly. Unless there are more such sources, likely no amount of editing will get the draft accepted. --Worldbruce (talk) 14:37, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

I am not requesting a review, but rather, I simply want to post a persona opinion essay. Is this option available on Wikipedia? —Preceding undated comment added 2018-01-07T18:38:23‎

All of my references get blocked but there aren't any other sources for information on the individual.I'm confused, because how is a post or quote coming from their person's actual twitter or instagram not reliable? I just need help, especially since I borrowed a source from his boyfriend's wiki that is getting denied on mine. Fforresst003 (talk) 22:45, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi . Notability is gauged by the depth and breadth of coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject. A person's social media presence is a primary source that is not independent of them. You write, "There aren't any other sources ..." Ergo the person is not notable and is unsuitable for inclusion in an encyclopedia. --Worldbruce (talk) 00:04, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
