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

Wow, that was fast! Thanks for letting me know about the external links - I had no idea. Joolzm (talk) 16:01, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for quickly addressing the issue. You've done significant work to improve it since the fall. Well done! StarMississippi 16:22, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, thanks for letting me know about the link/citation issue. There are several items in the text that I wanted to add links to, but nothing was availaible for them in Wikipedia, so I attached external links instead (the Alameda theater is one example). I was then asked to remove them from the body of the text, which I did, putting them at the end instead. If I understand correctly, citations will only be allowed if they mention the article subject (Guillermo Nicolas), and external links in the body of the text are forbidden, is that correct? When are external links allowed? Thanking you again. Joolzm (talk) 13:53, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You've misunderstood the difference between reliable sources about Nicolas and his work and external links. Sourcing would be things like journals, newspapers written in depth. Links would be things like like theater's website. Some could work as sourcing, such as an event listing but that's less likely. Let me know if it's helpful? StarMississippi 14:27, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I see. So if I find the theater's website, where can I put that as a link? Joolzm (talk) 14:34, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's not needed. We know from the sourcing for whom the media center was named. More links are not necessarily better. You've added good quality (thank you), but not everything needs to be linked. If someone writes an article about the theater, it can be linked. StarMississippi 14:59, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think I've finally got it. Thanks! Joolzm (talk) 16:35, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
