Your submission at Articles for creation: Mike Smith (May 9)[edit]

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

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

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.

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:Mike Smith 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.

Suggested WikiProject[edit]

Hey Gbrn0—thanks for your recent contributions! I noticed your interest in Wikipedia's athletics / track and field content and thought you might be interested in the athletics WikiProject. We've done some great work (11 pieces of Featured content and over 25 Good articles), but with over 70,000 created articles to improve and many more to still be created, there is plenty more to do. Come say hello on our talk page, or let me know if I can help with anything by replying to this message. Welcome to Wikipedia! I hope I'll see you around. --Habst (talk) 13:30, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Gbrn0, thank you for making Mike Smith (running coach). I fixed it up a bit and approved it. If you want to expand it further, you could try including more details from the Citius Mag podcast or The Athletic piece. Also remember to add categories using {{draft cats}} and don't be afraid of adding red links, per WP:REDLINK they can be useful to show that other articles could be written. Feel free to ping me if you have any questions. Thanks, --Habst (talk) 13:33, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
