Your recent article submission to
Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Joe Decker was:
This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published,
reliable,
secondary sources that are independent of the subject—see the
guidelines on the notability of people,
the golden rule and learn about
mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see
Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and
Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is
verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is
notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.
The comment the reviewer left was:
Geist may be notable, but we require multiple, reliable, arm's length sources to provide evidence of it as described above.
Please consider asking for assistance at the Teahouse (there should be a link on your talk page) as to finding the types of sources necessary for us to be able to approve this biography.
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 when they have been resolved.
If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to
