I am writing regarding an article I have submitted to Wikipedia about the actor Mark Griffin. I noticed that the actor didn't have a Wikipedia page so I decided to try to create one and it has been rejected twice now but this has confused me greatly. Firstly, he already has a page on an Italian version of Wikipedia https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Griffin meaning Wiki must have thought he was notable enough for this. Secondly, another actor of similar fame, Mark Smith http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Smith_(Gladiator) who starred alongside Mark Griffin on the UK TV show Gladiators has a Wikipedia page much like the one I tried to make for Griffin. Finally, I was advised to get a better collection of references for my article, but if one were to look at Mark Smith's article, it shows that only three reference points were made, two of which were from the actor's own website therefore my article is much more comprehensive and yet has been rejected.
I have studied pages on Wikipedia that are similar to the one I am trying to create and I have read many helpful articles about how to create an article and the one I made not only follows these almost to the letter but furthermore, I have added extra reference points that I didn't need to add which add more information than many other articles do. Also the actor in question has been of some fame for twenty-two years so I'm confused as to why the person who reviewed my article said that it didn't prove him to be 'notable' enough for a Wiki page, despite me putting links to his imdb page and many sources of information.
How can I be expected to become an editor of Wiki pages when the good work I am putting in is being ignored and seemingly cast aside with little regard? And frequently I see articles popping up for people who have been 'famous' for what seems like five minutes. I would like someone to explain this to me, ideally one of the article reviewers.

Hi WelshWonderWoman, just wanted to let you know that I will be gone at a conference for the next week, so I won't be on Wikipedia. We'll pick up where we left off when I get back...I'll still try to watch my talk page if you need me while I'm gone :) Thanks! ~ Anastasia [Missionedit] ( talk) 17:33, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Draft:Dragons of Camelot, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f703ekqCB6o.
It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.
If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) CorenSearchBot ( talk) 09:02, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
You are more than welcome to continue making quality contributions to Wikipedia. Note that because you are a logged-in user, you can create articles yourself, and don't have to post a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for Creation if you prefer.
Thank you for helping improve Wikipedia!

Hello, I'm
5 albert square. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on
Sam Callis, but you didn’t support your changes with a
citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning
how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on
my talk page. Thank you.

Thanks for uploading File:Mark Griffin on stage in the play Bluebird at the Tabard Theatre, May 2015.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}}
below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason>
with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Peripitus (Talk) 10:28, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
Have you reverted at least one instance of vandalism yet? Once you have, we can move on to the next lesson. ~ Anastasia [Missionedit] ( talk) 16:23, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for your edits on Don Megowan. I didn't create the article, but I created articles for some films he was in. To thank you I posted a new image of Mark Griffin for you. I hope it stays. I get speedy deletions a lot too. Inkwell765 ( talk) 23:20, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

Hello, WelshWonderWoman. It has been over six months since you last edited your Articles for Creation draft article submission, " Dragons of Camelot".
In accordance with our policy that Articles for Creation is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia
mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}
or {{db-g13}}
code.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. FiendYT ★ 06:00, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Mark Griffin (actor) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. FiendYT ★ 04:10, 8 March 2017 (UTC)
