Your submission at Articles for creation: Michael Sandow (August 17)
[edit]Draft declined
This draft's references do not show that the subject meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion for academics. The draft requires either:
- evidence that the subject meets any of the specific criteria for academics;
or multiple published secondary sources that:
- provide significant coverage: discuss the subject in detail, not just brief mentions or routine announcements;
- are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight;
- are independent: not connected to the subject, such as interviews, press releases, the subject's own website, or sponsored content.
This academic has had some decent achievements, but I'm not seeing anything here that explicitly passes WP:NPROF
Next steps
- Edit Draft:Michael Sandow to address the points above, making sure to publish any changes.
- When you are ready to resubmit your draft for review, click the Resubmit button.
- If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it may be deleted.

Scam warning
- If anyone asks you for money or payment to publish, protect, or restore a Wikipedia article or draft, it is a scam. Learn about scams on Wikipedia.

Hello, I'm Manualbadeditfix. I noticed that you changed content about a living or recently deceased person on Draft:Michael Sandow, but you didn't support your changes with a reliable source. Wikipedia has strict policies on how we write about living people to keep such articles accurate and clear, so your change has been removed and archived in the page history for now. If you think I made a mistake or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my talk page. Thank you! Manualbadeditfix (talk) 23:54, 17 August 2026 (UTC)
