 * You don't ask a question, but your draft is a completely unsourced essay, not an encyclopedia article with citations to independent reliable sources. Please learn more about Wikipedia by using the new user tutorial and reading Your First Article. 331dot (talk) 00:40, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

I am trying to figure out what needs to be changed on my draft. It is not clear what the issue is I have the correct format with all the references. 45Boomer (talk) 01:53, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Your references are bare URLs and should be formatted properly to display full bibliographic details. Please read WP:REFBEGIN. Most of your sources are primary sources or unreliable sources. Far better to have five solid references than dozens of poor quality references that are worthless for establishing notability. If you are claiming that this person is notable as an athlete, then you need to show that he meets the notability guideline that you can find at WP:NGRIDIRON. It does not appear that he does.

 * Noone of the sources currently cited are reliable. The "Biography" and "Music Career" sections desperately need better sources, because Wikipedia is not interested in a rerun of the Seigenthaler incident. Victor Schmidt (talk) 06:27, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

Hello, I am trying to figure out why my submission was declined. Thank you!

Draft:Zach Broom (Pastor)
 * The reason for the decline is given at the top of your draft, in short, you have not demonstrated that (I assume) you merit a Wikipedia article. None of the sources you offer are significant coverage of you in independent reliable sources, showing how you meet the special Wikipedia definition of a notable person. Please see Your First Article for more information.
 * Please also be advised of the autobiography policy; while not forbidden, autobiographies are highly discouraged, in part because people naturally write favorably about themselves. In order to succeed at an autobiography(which is rare, but technically possible), you in essence need to forget everything you know about yourself, and only write based on what independent reliable sources say about you. Most people have great difficulty doing that. 331dot (talk) 09:57, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

The Draft Thermofractal we rejected because an older version is still active. I would like to delete the older version, but I don't know how to do it.

 * You don't ask a question, but your draft was rejected, meaning that it will not be considered further. 331dot (talk) 16:43, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
 * It has zero reliable independent sources and Google searches are not sources.Theroadislong (talk) 16:45, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
