Thanks for your contributions to Hazel Smith (writer). Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit for review" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. CycloneYoris ^talk! 02:41, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much. I have added two major articles to indicate notability. At this point, it is now more complete than some Wikipedia articles on individuals, I think. But as soon as it is approved (I shall use the 'for review' step thanks), the author will provide me with a full set of book and CD recording lists, plus some brief earlier biography to make it optimally useful. One place that is pretty good for Australian writers (such as her) is AustLit. Would it make sense in the next step for me to add a link to an Austlit search? This would lead the interested person to >100 of the most important pieces of info about her, categorised in a standarad Austlit way. Drmetagroove (talk) 00:52, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

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

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

Fails WP:NAUTHOR, is highly reliant on primary sources.

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Hazel Smith (writer). Thanks! Greenman (talk) 11:13, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the comments. Unfortunately, I don't sense what your criteria of 'inaccessible' are ... most poetry volumes are not available online, if that is your concern. The volumes are widely dispersed in libraries (See WorldCat). On the other hand, the references are now an attempt at a judicious modest-sized mix of online ('accessible'?) and other. Could you indicate what would improve accessibility for such material that might be applicable? By the way, re CoI, the material is absolutely uncontroversial. There are no assertions of quality, profundity etc ! These are for readers to judge, of course.

Would it be useful for this draft to be edited by someone involved within the Elecctronic Literature Organisation's attempt to get some decent representation on Wikipedia? Their lists of 'desirable' articles include, for example, a request for one specifically about the piece novelling, of which Smith is the writer/author. It is partly in response to this that I took the initiative to draft this Wkipedia entry. Thanks again. Drmetagroove (talk) 00:00, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
