Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Dan arndt were:

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 content of this submission includes material that does not meet Wikipedia's minimum standard for inline citations. Please cite your sources using footnotes. For instructions on how to do this, please see Referencing for beginners. Thank you.

Hello, Plopperdeplop12345. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Draft:Joël Galliard, you may have a conflict of interest (COI).

We ask that you:

• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

The basic rule in respect to notability (WP:GNG) is that there is significant coverage in multiple reliable independent secondary sources. Social media websites (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X etc) and sites such as SoundCloud and Bandcamp are generally created by the individual and are therefore primary sources i.e. not independent. Sources such as Reddit, Discord etc are collections of personal views/comments without any degree of fact checking or verifiability. This is why these are not considered as acceptable or reliable sources. What you need to find is more mainstream sources, such as newspapers/newsites, credible magazines and websites that do have an independent editorial oversight and are recognised for the fact checking. I hope that helps. Dan arndt (talk) 03:28, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
