Draft:Tim Levene

  • Comment: Not quite enough independent significant coverage proving why he is notable enough for a Wikipedia article. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 06:56, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment: Thanks for the message on my talk page. I would also suggest addressing the use of
    WP:OR. For example, you cite the City of London Finance Committee as a source for the content that he is on the board. Is there a secondary source that says this? This is only one example but you can find several instances of this throughout the draft. CNMall41 (talk

  • Comment: Thanks for the comment on my talk page. This is better and you are getting closer. The award section is full of industry awards which is something I am sure he would like to see on Wikipedia. However, as yourself if this is something people reading Wikipedia would want to know about. The short answer is "no" so I recommend removing that section. In addition, there is no need to use multiple references to support statements unless they are needed. If a single source supports the claim, leave it as a single source. If you can review and fix I will come back and take a good look at notability. CNMall41 (talk) 19:36, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment: Being this is paid-for, I am not inclined to do the cleanup. If you are willing to clean up the draft to adhere to guidelines, I will gladly come back and review for notability. The draft is still promotional in tone, contains
    WP:REFBOMBing. Once these issues are addressed you can ping me here or reach out on my talk page and I will come back to review. CNMall41 (talk
