Your submission at Articles for creation: John Canning Studios (December 7)

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

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

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. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

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:John Canning Studios 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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This was deleted a few months ago, WP:Articles for deletion/John Canning Studios, and the issues have not been addressed. Some the sources used are not reliable (blogs and the like), some make no mention of Canning, and many are trivial mentions which are fine to use to support basic facts but do not contribute to notability. Also, much of the content is unsourced. In order to meet notability, need reputable sources that have written in-depth about John Canning Studios and certainly need multiple sources to support claims like "is the leading authority in the United States on traditional decorative painting techniques and materials and historic color palettes".

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:John Canning Studios. Thanks! S0091 (talk) 16:03, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion

See the draft for some sources I found based on a quick search. I suggest making the draft a biography about John Canning rather than company because what I am seeing so far, sources are more focused about him, his background and training, etc. The company can be minimally covered. S0091 (talk) 16:13, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm...actually the more I look at this, I'm not sure. I still think bit more about his background would be helpful given there are at least a couple great sources about him and I added Lenox Library and Taft Museum so take a look at those sources. I think part of the problem is you buried some of better sources in the list. I think if you move/copy the ones that are in-depth up to the main body and summarize a little of what they say, that will help a lot. Also, you can use the same source more multiple times so you can still leave it in the list. I also suggest adding dates to the list of work (date completed).
