Jan Norris moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Jan Norris, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please follow the prompts on the Articles for Creation template atop the page. ... discospinster _talk 21:47, 24 February 2020 (UTC)

Ways to improve The Giver of Stars

Hello, Wpaige,

Thank you for creating The Giver of Stars.

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

The article currently does have a few problems with sourcing. First of all, the Daily Express is considered generally unreliable. In addition, the NY Times reference is broken. Some good sources you can use and include in the article (also to demonstrate notability): the Washington Post, the Harvard Crimson and USA Today.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|MrClog}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

Your draft article, Draft:Jan Norris

Hello, Wpaige. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Jan Norris".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! UnitedStatesian (talk) 03:35, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
