Draft:Hilary Evans-Newton
| Submission declined on 16 September 2024 by DoubleGrazing (talk). 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.

| Submission declined on 14 May 2024 by Notcharizard (talk). 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. Declined by Notcharizard 4 months ago. | |
Comment: We don't refer to people by first name only; please change to full name, last name only, or personal pronoun. DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:21, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: The only secondary source here is The Guardian, and it alone is not enough to establish notability per WP:GNG. DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:21, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
