Your submission at Articles for creation: Patrick de Preux (February 26)

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

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.

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:Patrick de Preux and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Hello @Idoghor Melody and thank you. Is there any chance you could give me more in-depth feedback? Is it because most of the sources were in French and you couldn't make sense of them? Or is it because I didn't reference them well enough...? When I search on Google for "Patrick de Preux" I get tones of newspaper articles. Are these not reliable enough sources? Thanks a lot in advance for your help! WhisperingWeaver (talk) 15:14, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
