== Your submission at [[Wikipedia:Articles for creation|Articles for creation]]: [[Draft:Lana Cease|Lana Cease]] (April 19) ==
'''Draft declined'''{{pb}}[[File:AFC-Logo_Decline.svg|50px|left]]Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. Your draft submission to [[Wikipedia:Articles for creation|Articles for creation]] has been reviewed but not accepted at this time.{{pb}}
'''Feedback'''{{pb}}The reviewer, Netherzone, left the following feedback:
{{divbox|gray|3=This draft's references do not show that the person meets Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Notability (people)|criteria for inclusion for people]]. The draft requires multiple published [[Wikipedia:Secondary|secondary]] sources that:
* provide ''[[Wikipedia:Notability_(people)#Basic_criteria|significant coverage]]'': discuss the person in detail, not brief mentions or interviews lacking independent analysis;
* are ''[[Wikipedia:Reliable sources|reliable]]'': from reputable outlets with editorial oversight;
* are ''[[Wikipedia:Independent_sources|independent]]'': not connected to the person, such as interviews, press releases, the subject's own website, or sponsored content.

Please add references that meet ''all three'' of these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia.|}}{{divbox|gray|3=This draft reads like an advertisement. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, [[Wikipedia:Spam#Advertisements masquerading as articles|not a platform for promotion or marketing]]. Drafts that are [[Wikipedia:G11|exclusively promotional may be deleted without notice]].
Wikipedia articles must be written neutrally in a formal, impersonal, and dispassionate way. They should not read like a blog post, advertisement, or fan page. Rewrite the draft to remove:

* ''promotional language'': see [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Words to watch|Words to watch]];
* ''personal commentary'': opinions or direct addresses to the reader;
* ''[[Wikipedia:Tone|informal language]].''

Instead, only [[Wikipedia:Writing better articles#Information style and tone|summarize in your own words a range of independent, reliable, published sources]] that discuss the subject.

If you have a [[Wikipedia:Conflict of interest|conflict of interest]] (e.g. you are the subject, an employee, or a relative) or are [[Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure|being paid to edit]], you must disclose this to comply with Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Terms of Use|Terms of Use]].|}}
