Hey there. Really confused and would deeply appreciate some help. I saw the film Tell My Story, and as a father felt compelled to create a wiki around Jason Reid, who I found notable. Where did I go wrong? LoveofEverything (talk) 18:15, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This is far too heavily dependent on reference bombing his potential notability to primary sources that are not support for notability at all — for instance, the word "speaker" is jengastacked with five separate citations, of which three are the self-published websites of organizations he's directly affiliated with and the other two just briefly namecheck him as a speaker at a TEDx event without actually being about him in any non-trivial sense. Out of 27 footnotes here, only one counts for anything whatsoever toward meeting WP:GNG, and even that's just a film review that's much more about the film than it is about him. This is not the kind of sourcing that it takes, and nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt the sourcing from having to be better. Bearcat (talk) 18:30, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Just left a message above. I saw the documentary Tell My Story, and I was moved to create an article about Jason Reid, the subject of the film and someone who I saw has done speeches of note (I thought?) - where did I go wrong? The film really impacted me as a father and a human being. Can you please help me? Maybe I can create an article about the film? LoveofEverything (talk) 18:17, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Agree with Bearcat on all counts. -- asilvering (talk) 01:32, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
