Your submission at Articles for creation: Kamal Hanash (March 27)

Draft declined

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. Your draft submission to Articles for creation has been reviewed but not accepted at this time.

Feedback

The reviewer, ChrysGalley, left the following feedback:

This draft is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Wikipedia's verifiability policy requires that all content be supported by reliable sources.

Reliable sources include: reputable newspapers, magazines, academic journals, and books from respected publishers.
Unacceptable sources include: personal blogs, social media, predatory publishers, most tabloids, and websites where anyone can contribute.

Replace any unreliable sources with high-quality sources. If you cannot find a reliable source for the material, it should be removed.

This draft's references do not show that the subject meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion for academics. The draft requires either:

evidence that the subject meets any of the specific criteria for academics;

or multiple published secondary sources that:

provide significant coverage: discuss the subject in detail, not just brief mentions or routine announcements;
are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight;
are independent: not connected to the subject, such as interviews, press releases, the subject's own website, or sponsored content.

Please add references that meet these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia.

This needs some more work on it. There are 2 areas for notability that appear to be possible. One is WP:NACADEMIC which would give presumed notability if one of the criteria is met. However we need a reliable source for that. If the subject is a honorary fellow of ACS then that would qualify, but this isn't sourced in the draft, and he isn't listed on ACS' website list (which may not hold the names of those who are deceased). If that can be properly and reliably sourced then that would make it easier.

The alternative is the WP:GOLDENRULE or arguably WP:ANYBIO and this would ideally need three independent sources and there is only one. For ANYBIO it would have to be a pretty clear demonstration that his work was part of the historic record of surgery, and that's not there either. I would expect this to be more difficult.

A lot of the text here is unsourced for a different issue, verification of the text, and that could do with improvement, though it's not the primary reason for this decline.
