Hi Blaze Wolf ^Talk, you have gotten the bios mixed up, the other one has already been rejected and this is the improved updated version that User:Bit-Phalanx asked me if I could take a look at and see if I could somehow make it publishable. I didn't realise there was already another draft version so I worked on his sandbox version. Mabalu ( talk) 20:25, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

Yes, I declined it since, while it's the same person, the other one is already in Draft space. Since you're helping out Bit-Phalanx do you still want it to be submitted under your name or Bit's? ― Blaze Wolf ^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 20:35, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

I realised what I did wrong just now, I misspelled the name when I was trying to redirect it. I've copy-pasted the edited/reworked version over to the draft version and resubmitted that. It's definitely not my area of articles, but I was just trying to help out a friend who was confused about the sources and stuff and gave a general call for help so I said I'd do my best to try and rescue it for him. Sorry for the confusion Mabalu ( talk) 20:43, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

FAir enough, and that's fine, I was about to decline it myself when you moved it to the incorrect title. Normally I probably would've just rejected it again for the same reason as it was earlier, but I'm gonna give it a chacne and see what other AFC reviewers think. ― Blaze Wolf ^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 20:46, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

Just to check, you were going to decline the one I rewrote, or the one I accidentally submitted? I did warn Bit that despite Sayfritz's significant career and productivity, his publicity-shyness and tendency to avoid interviews was probably going to bite him in the arse (apparently Sayfritz is having visa trouble because the US are being difficult about accepting that he is a successful long-running producer/music creative with a 30+ year career in the field, and Bit thought a WP article might help prove it). I basically said the best bet is for Sayfritz to accept a lot more interview and press requests, but I'd see what I could do. Mabalu ( talk) 20:53, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

The Sayritz one. ― Blaze Wolf ^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 20:55, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Mark Sayfritz (January 24)

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

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.

Hello, Mabalu! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! BuySomeApples ( talk) 01:55, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

That's ok, I did advise that there wasn't really a lot of sourcing out there. I have been sent a bunch of foreign language sources to go through but didn't get a chance to assess them yet. I only took this on as a favour to a friend.

Also I am hardly a new editor!!! Mabalu ( talk) 12:30, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
