Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by CNMall41 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:

Other than seeing some published papers, I cannot determine who the person would meet WP:NACADEMIC. Cannot even local a Google Scholar profile to check citations.

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 it after they have been resolved.

• If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Glenn Gilbert 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, I went through the page and I think this article qualities as a wikipedia article. He founded the “journal of pidgin and creole languages” and was its founder editor. This is a premium journal of its field. Also look at this volume which was published in his honour: ‘Thornburg, Linda L.; Fuller, Janet M., eds. (2006). Studies in Contact Linguistics: Essays in Honor of Glenn G. Gilbert. New York: Peter Lang. p. xi-xii. ISBN 0-8204-7934-9.’ LexLobster (talk) 06:32, 3 March 2026 (UTC)
