Hello Jamiebuba,

Could you explain how to do this? The person I referred to was Barry Silbert. He is a billionaire (forbes proof given) worth 3.2 billion dollars and he is the founder of Digital currency group which owns Greyscale Bitcoin trust which is worth over 40 billions dollars and prolific investor in the cryptocurrency space. The only reason why I created the page was because there was no page for him when I was reading about Digital Currency Group. The company is worth now 20 billion plus as per last valuation and has an employee strength of 1000+ people and they are based in NYC and Stamford, Connecticut.

I do not know each and everything about him. I just put the entry as a contribution to wiki for being helped by wiki all these years. I am in the cryptocurrency space and I see that many of the famous people including founders sprecially the silent ones do not have an entry in wikipedia

@Dropsecure: A reliable source is a source with an established reputation for fact-checking and editorial oversight. The page Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources is a good place to look at how frequently-discussed sources have been evaluated for their reliability. For example, Crunchbase is not considered to be a reliable source. Sources also have to be independent, having no personal, political or financial interest in the subject.

Even if a source is considered reliable, the material you cite must be significant coverage. Brief mentions or list entries are not sufficient. Also, interviews with the subject are considered primary sources and therefore lack the required independence.

I also noticed that your account name is also the same as a business (https://dropsecure.com/). This is prohibited by Wikipedia's username policy - account names must represent individuals - not businesses, organizations or groups of people. Please change your username or you risk your account being blocked. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 14:43, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Dropsecure: I see you posted at the WP:Teahouse after my messages to you here. Changing your username should be your first priority, because continuing to edit under a username that violates policy will earn you a block. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 19:32, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

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

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.

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.
