Your submission at Articles for creation: Denis Gérard Mulder (March 5)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Twinkle1990 were:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Don't use Blogspot as a reference. See WP:CS.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Denis Gérard Mulder and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

The blanket rejection of a blog as Blogspot as a reference is not justified in this case. The blog offers various sources as many vintage photographs and even snippets of newspaper articles. The content is consistent and complies with the other cited sources. And to be honest: The rejection of an Indonesian blog echoes also a certain colonial arrogance - outside the western hemisphere, not everyone is privileged to publish in books or peer-reviewed journals.
