Hello mentor, thank you for mentoring me.

I'm not sure what wikipedia mentorship entails, but I would be happy to learn from you in anyway I can. Related to this, my first (and so far only) article was nominated for deletion for being not-notable. I have responded to the thread (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Geoff_Tabin). I hope my response is useful and civil. I would love a second opinion on the notability of the article, and ideally help defending my article, which I genuinely do believe is notable.

Hello! Happy New Year!

I have written an article about a person who I would deem to be of significance in modern Filipino history, particularly his role in the constitutional convention of 1971-72. His diary of that time was published in 1993 and frequently cited as a historical document.

I did a lot of research and compiled information both from online sources and from interviews with one of his sons, who has archived his books, photographs and copies of several articles that were written about him Dr. Espiritu and that he himself kept.

One of the online sources that has a short bio is https://philippinediaryproject.com/about-the-philippine-diary-project/about-the-diaries/about-augusto-caesar-espiritu/ <https://philippinediaryproject.com/about-the-philippine-diary-project/about-the-diaries/about-augusto-caesar-espiritu/> but I’m again unsure how reliable this is for referencing since it is not a newspaper.

Much of the information comes from the information provided by his son, including a CV that Dr. Espiritu himself wrote as well as the short biographies that are printed in the books that he wrote and edited. I was told that these are “primary sources” and therefore not valid. The only valid sources would be newspaper articles and/or biographies. Is this accurate?

The article was twice rejected on the grounds that the references were insufficient.

I went to the live chat forum of wikipedia help at https://web.libera.chat/?nick=WhiteFig38#wikipedia-en-help <https://web.libera.chat/?nick=WhiteFig38#wikipedia-en-help> to find out more concretely what needs to be changed. Unfortunately, the editor I was talking to said that the article couldn't be published because of lack of reliable references.

May I kindly ask you to look into this as I have a number of questions needing your expertise.

Many thanks,

On 20 January 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Pixel Piracy, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Pixel Piracy's developers released a free torrent of their game? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Pixel Piracy. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Pixel Piracy), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
