File:AFC-Logo_Decline.svgYour recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Primefac was:

{{divbox|gray|3=This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of people and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.|}} The comment the reviewer left was:

{{divbox|blue|3=Fails WP:SOLDIER and, more importantly, WP:GNG. Whelan's only contribution to history appears to be getting shot in the head. He does have a street named after him, but given how the Irish love their war heroes and a complete lack of sourcing to say why the street was named after him, it seems like a minor point.

I count three references that do any more than simply list him as present during the battles; two of those are brief mentions and the third is sketchy (I can't tell if [http://www.newsfour.ie/2016/04/when-two-paths-lead-to-one-a-tale-of-two-brothers/ this article] is an opinion piece/interview with his family or serious literature). Please add additional independent reliable sources that discuss the subject in detail.

Additionally, the majority of this draft does not actually discuss Whelan. However, I concede that a brief summary of the surrounding events is necessary to set the scene.}} Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer.

{{divbox|blue|3=Most of this article (and the sources) are not about Whelan but about the Unit D Company. The biographical info about Whelan seems to be original research, which suggests there is not enough published material about him to support an article.}} Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer.
