Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

Do not use AI chatbots or large language models when editing Wikipedia. Their use is nearly always prohibited.

Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.

Maintain a neutral point of view.

Take particular care while writing about a living person. Controversial and negative statements must be referenced with multiple reliable sources.

Don't edit war or abuse multiple accounts.

If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.

Do not add advertising, promotional messages, or text that is not related to an article's subject.

Use talk pages to discuss article improvements, but not as a forum for general discussions.

If you have any questions, ask them on the Teahouse or on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! Ldm1954 (talk) 17:23, 29 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

Dear Nil NZ

Many, many thanks for approving my article, and for doing it so very promptly.

It is the first time I have ever submitted anything to Wikipedia so it has been a steep learning curve.

Warm regards

GG

Thanks for your contributions to William Moore (physicist). Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing as a live article at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability and an MBE does not confer notability, this is established policy. Information about awards and/or major peer recongition is needed.. I have converted it to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit the draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Ldm1954 (talk) 14:06, 12 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

Dear Ldm1954
I appreciate you taking tine to review this, although naturally I am very disappointed that you feel it does not meet the notability requirements. I tried so hard to find enough evidence to meet the Wipipedia stringent requirements ( and thought I had). It was not easy when someone is doing classified defence work - on the enginnering side- during the 1970s/1980s and dies prematurely ( after routine gall bladder removal operation went wrong). I will try as I do believe he was ‘notable ’. Thank you for the opportunity.
Kind regards

This draft's references do not show that the person meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion for people. The draft requires multiple published secondary sources that:
  • provide significant coverage: discuss the person in detail, not brief mentions or interviews lacking independent analysis;
  • are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight;
  • are independent: not connected to the person, such as interviews, press releases, the subject's own website, or sponsored content.
Please add references that meet all three of these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia.
Fails WP:GNG and WP:ACADEMIC.
