Hello, Littledansonman!
Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Eyebeller (talk) 00:37, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello, Littledansonman. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Samuel Stanford Ashley".
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 deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. ✗plicit 23:45, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
An article you recently created, Maude White Katz, is not suitable 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 click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.
The article has been assessed as Start-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. Most new articles start out as Stub-Class or Start-Class and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.
If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.
If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider
.Thanks again, and happy editing!
S0091 (talk) 19:43, 9 October 2023 (UTC)Hi Littledansonman, I tagged Maude White Katz with issues relating to the use of primary sources and neutrality because most of the content is supported by an interview with her which is a primary source so should only be used sparingly and does not contribute to notability. However, it appears some of the other cited sources support at least some of the content you cited to the interview so I suggest switching sources where possible. If the only source available is the interview, I suggest either removing the content or at least attributing it to her (i.e. "In an interview with blah, Katz claimed blah or "According to Katz,....", or something of the like). I accepted the article despite these issues because of some other sources you cited and a brief search on JSTOR suggested she does meet the notability criteria. If you have questions or need help, you can ask at the Teahouse. I will also leave you some additional information about editing Wikipedia. You may also be interested in WikiProject Women in Red, which is dedicated to creating/maintaining articles about women and other topics that suffer from systemic bias.
