Your submission at Articles for creation: Kenneth F. Janda (April 13)

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, VortexPhantom, left the following feedback:

This draft's references do not show that the person meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion for people. The draft requires multiple published secondary sources that:

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

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

Next steps

Edit Draft:Kenneth F. Janda to address the points above, making sure to publish any changes.
When you are ready to resubmit your draft for review, click the Resubmit button.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it may be deleted.

Draft:Kenneth F. Janda

Hi @JennlynnE, I see that your draft was moved back to draft space for improvements. To create a new article, you have to use 3-5 sources which are reliable, 'independent' of the topic, secondary sources, which talk at length about the topic of the article. You need these reliable sources to demonstrate that a topic is notable and can have a Wikipedia page. The sources I see on the article don't satisfy this criteria because they're not from reliable publications with editorial, journalistic rigor and oversight, and they are closely related to Jandain some way. Check out What's a good source, for a refresher on reliable sources. Please let me know if you have any questions. Brianda (Wiki Ed) (talk) 21:14, 13 April 2026 (UTC)
