Your submission at Articles for creation: Stephen Wanton Gould (May 18)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Qcne was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

How does this person meet WP:NPEOPLE?

Thank you @Qcne I am trying to publish an article on Stephen Wanton Gould but I don't know why it is declined. I also have a question on how to put an image inside the Infobox. Again thank you for reviewing my article. -Killbeett Killbeett (talk) 20:45, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Killbeett. Wikipedia only hosts articles about people who are notable, using our special definition of notability which you can find at WP:NPEOPLE.

But I am not sure how Stephen meets that criteria? Qcne (talk) 20:48, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I am not finished with this article and that is a blunder on my part, I will use the Sandbox feature. He fits the Wikipedia definition of notability as he was an influential figure in early Rhode Island history in the the religious Quaker community and helped influence the start of the Rhode Island Historical Society. If there is any specific articles or rules that Stephen Wanton Gould still doesn't fall under I would like to know! Again thank you @Qcne. -Killbeett Killbeett (talk) 21:54, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, so perhaps you submitted it for review prematurely? Just follow that guidelines I linked you to. Qcne (talk) 22:01, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
