Your submission at Articles for creation: Elvstrøm Sails (August 29)

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 draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. 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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Of the citations, 14 are to the book Paul Elvstrøm Fortæller, which appears to be co-authored by the subject, and another 11 are to the company's own website. The few secondary sources are more about the person than the company. Therefore, notability per WP:GNG / WP:ORGCRIT has not been established, and even basic verifiability is questionable. This is also written in a non-encyclopaedic tone and manner, and needs copyediting. (Is this a machine translation, by any chance?)

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:Elvstrøm Sails and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.

Hi DoubleGrazing.

This is now the second time the article has been rejected, and as a total Wikipedia newbie, I would like to ask a question.

First up, the Paul Elvstrøm Fortæller is not written in any way by Paul Elvstrøm himself. Paul was severely affected by dyslexia, and if the title of the book is translated into english, it simply says "Paul Elvstrøm is telling". It was written by two independent sailing enthusiasts, and it depicts Paul's career over four decades. There are only limited sources to get all of this information from, and I have actually spent quite some time even getting here.

So what's the alternative here?

Best regards, Niklas NMRacing3 (talk) 07:54, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
