This isn’t about the reliability of the sources though. This is about the overuse of quotations. The {{over-quotation}} template is about MOS:QUOTE. Per MOS:QUOTE: “Brief quotations of copyrighted text may be used to illustrate a point, establish context, or attribute a point of view or idea. While quotations are an indispensable part of Wikipedia, try not to overuse them. Using too many quotes is incompatible with an encyclopedic writing style and may be a copyright infringement.” Bennv123 (talk) 13:24, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
Hey. I've been working on a draft (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:KB_Brookins) with another person for over a year, and I see that you declined it in March 2023. I am trying to figure out what exactly is needed to improve the draft. This person is associated with some of the largest literary institutions (Academy of American Poets, Poetry Foundation, National Endowment of the Arts) and has more accolades than many comparable poets that have active wikipedia pages (Kimberly Nguyen, Hieu Minh Nguyen, Simone Person, etc), yet it is declined on grounds of not having "significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject". I spoke with someone in the live chat about how this could be improved, and they said to reach out to people who've declined it.
I am confused, and quite frustrated. Let me know what source would contribute to notability of an author/poet, and what exactly this draft needs to get published. Fuzzyrocket (talk) 17:44, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
Hi Twinkle1990, Fuzzyrocket has also posted the same query on my talk and on the draft's talk page. I will respond to them on the draft's talk page likely tomorrow. Of course this is your talk page so handle however you see fit and you are welcome to join the discussion on the draft's talk page. S0091 (talk) 20:04, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
