Your submission at Articles for creation: Paul J. Davies (Canadian writer) (February 28)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Significa liberdade was:

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

The comment the reviewer left was:

At present, a lot of the "sources" provided are comments and/or general references to Davies's work. Please provide reliable, independent sources with significant coverage of Davies and/or his work, such as book reviews, to establish notability.

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:Paul J. Davies (Canadian writer) 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.

Welcome!

Hello, PwyllDafydd, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you created or edited was Draft:Paul J. Davies (Canadian writer), which appears to be an article about yourself. Writing about yourself is a common mistake made by new Wikipedians.

As this is an encyclopedia, we wouldn't expect to have an article about every contributor. We require individuals to meet Wikipedia's definition of a notable person to accept articles about them. A page you created about yourself may well be deleted from the encyclopedia. If it is deleted and you wish to retrieve its contents, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

If your contributions to an existing article about yourself are undone and you wish to add to or change it, please propose the changes on its talk page.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

Thank you. If the publications and career detailed are not notable enough for use at Wikipedia, then I withdraw the article. Please delete. PwyllDafydd (talk) 12:06, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In advance of a ruling of not notable enough, I have made changes as requested; arranged in encyclopaedic sections, sharpened notes, added several book reviews from newspapers and magazines for Critical Reception. Thank you. PwyllDafydd (talk) 20:25, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
