Your submission at Articles for creation: Allen McCloskey (September 17)

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

Ehhhh... I checked all the sources and I'm declining this. The vast majority of the sources simply state "McCloskey said this" "McCloskey said that", without giving in-depth biographical information. They are not significant nor independent. These series of articles look good, but I have questions about its reliability. It only had one editor and it markets itself as "a Humboldt County’s home page", making it very local and not well-established.

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.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Allen McCloskey 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.
