Your submission at Articles for creation: Founder Hypothesis (February 8)[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 WikiDan61 was:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. 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:

The "founder hypothesis" is expounded in a single work by a single author. While there is a "Criticism" section, it is unsourced, leading to the conclusion that no other researcher has taken notice of this hypothesis sufficiently to offer a critique. Note: there is, in biological research, a concept know as the "founder hypothesis" but this refers to the characteristics of species that first occupy a new ecological niche in the environment.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Founder Hypothesis and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Earlier issues have not been addressed: this hypothesis is still the idea of a single man (Robin Wellman, in his book Rewiring the Human Brain) and no evidence has been presented that anyone else has taken significant note of this hypothesis.

Please tell me why this is a reason for rejecting an article. 91.249.92.201 (talk) 13:36, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You may not have noticed that the work builds upon the work of other authors. The work just explores the topic from a different perspective that allow to avoid making unnecessary claims. Please put the submission back where it was. 91.249.92.201 (talk) 13:50, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Founder hypothesis[edit]

This draft will not be acceptable for publication unless you can provide evidence that anyone has taken Wellman's hypothesis seriously and started a conversation about it. The related ancient astronauts and reptilian conspiracy theories are notable because there is widespread discussion of them in the literature. There does not appear to be a similar widespread discussion of Wellman's hypothesis. Unless you can provide evidence that there is such widespread discussion, the hypothesis simply isn't notable and won't become part of Wikipedia.

Introduction to contentious topics[edit]

You have recently edited a page related to pseudoscience and fringe science, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.
