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

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs to

• meet any of the eight academic-specific criteria
• or cite multiple reliable, secondary sources independent of the subject, which cover the subject in some depth
  

Make sure your draft meets one of the criteria above before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If the subject does not meet any of the criteria, it is not suitable for Wikipedia.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

The sources are primary, and thus unable to establish notability per WP:GNG. I don't see anything in there that would obviously satisfy WP:NACADEMIC, either. That Genius Grant is obviously impressive, but I don't think it's enough to meet NACADEMIC #2. This could be a case of WP:TOOSOON, unless there is something else which just wasn't included here?

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:Nicola Dell 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.
• If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hi! My understanding of WP:NACADEMIC was that a MacArthur Fellowship always qualifies. According to that page, under specific criteria 2a. Abersnail (talk) 05:19, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
