Your AfC draft
Hello there, thank you for creating this draft. I have seen the draft there were some minor problems with the article which I have fixed (You can see the changes here ) but the major problem is Notability. That means if the subject is a notable person or not. If notable then please add some verifiable references. Please see WP:GNG and WP:GP before procceding If the draft is not notable and if you cannot introduce references then there is a chance that your draft may not pass AfC review. If you need assistance please feel free to contact me on my talk page or ask a question at our teahouse. I know you can improve. Regards. Jim Cartar (talk) 02:45, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
Your AfC draft (2)
Hello Mark. User:Jim Cartar has unfortunately slightly misadvised you about your AfC draft. Let's see if I can help. The issue is not so much about your notability, and I'm not going to take a view one way or another about that today. The issue is about writing an article about yourself. This can backfire, as Wikipedians take a strong view about self-promotion, and your draft does unfortunately look very much like that. It is written in the language of a resumé rather than that of an encyclopedia article. I would recommend you to remove the {{AFC submission}} template from the draft for now and to take time to consider your next step. It would then be a good idea to read Misplaced Pages:Autobiography and Misplaced Pages:Conflict of interest (and surf from those, if you like) before deciding what to do. Those pages will give you a good idea of the issues that can arise.
I will keep both your talk page and your draft article on my watch list for now, so you are welcome to reply here and I will discuss with you if you wish. (Please note I'm in the UK, so my times are different from yours.) Kind regards, --Stfg (talk) 00:16, 22 February 2014 (UTC)
