Because it is only a short page containing nothing bad and he has really wanted a Wikipedia page so more people can find him.

I couldn't understand why the submission was declined as the reviewer said, "This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed."
The Draft was created all 'Third Party' sources, picking from scholar.google.com and journals, books.
The references were mentioned.
The Draft may be a "Stub" but can't be an ARTSPAM i.e. an advertisement. Couldn't understand the logic behind calling it as an 'advertisement'.

I recently had a page rejected. But my question is not really about that particular page, but rather about the general criteria for accepting pages. I spend a lot of time looking at random articles in Wikipedia. A large fraction of the pages I hit are obscure (in my opinion) sports figures. The criteria for sports figures specify only that they played in at least one game in a major league of some sport. Meanwhile the criteria for academics has a list of potential criteria that restrict pages to only a few of the most outstanding academics. I will close this comment with a statement that clearly reveals my bias: I think Wikipedia, and our society in general, pays way too much attention to sports and entertainment figures in comparison to the attention we give to doctors, scientists, and others who are making a real contribution to the world.

How do you edit an infobox that has been submitted to Articles for creation? I want to insert a photo.
