Articles generally require significant coverage
in reliable sources
that are independent of the subject.

[edit]
Declined: This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources.
It is a fundamental requirement that information in Wikipedia articles can be verified to reliable sources.

You must find sources that follow the below guidelines, and then summarise or paraphrase them in your own words. The sources should be:

- Reliable: We prefer secondary sources that are published by reputable institutions with proof of editorial oversight. Primary sources can be used for basic facts (such as a date of birth), but they should be supplemented with strong secondary sources that offer in-depth analysis, discussion, or interpretation.
- Independent: Your sources should be independent of the topic, for example not interviews with the subject, self-published, or from the subject's own website.
- Show significant coverage: Your topic should be discussed in detail in the sources you find. The sources should provide in-depth analysis, discussion, or interpretation about the topic, going beyond basic facts or promotional material.
- From multiple places: We usually require at least three reliable, independent, secondary sources that discuss the topic.
- Not original research: Wikipedia articles should summarise existing knowledge about a topic. Wikipedia is a tertiary source and is not a place to present new research. Do not draw your own conclusions or analyses from the sources.

For more information about verifiability, see the policy page Wikipedia:Verifiability.

If you cannot find significant coverage of your topic in multiple, reliable, independent sources then it would not meet our notability criteria and therefore would not merit an article at this time.


Declined: This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article.
Wikipedia only hosts articles about notable topics, using our special criteria of "notability" which has been developed over the last two decades. "Notability" does not mean "popular" or "famous"; instead the test of notability is determined if the topic has had significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.

The easiest way to prove notability is to find at least three sources that follow the below guidelines:

- Reliable: We prefer secondary sources that are published by reputable institutions with proof of editorial oversight. Primary sources can be used for basic facts (such as a date of birth), but they should be supplemented with strong secondary sources that offer in-depth analysis, discussion, or interpretation.
- Independent: Your sources should be independent of the topic, for example not interviews with the subject, self-published, or from the subject's own website.
- Show significant coverage: Your topic should be discussed in detail in the sources you find. The sources should provide in-depth analysis, discussion, or interpretation about the topic, going beyond basic facts or promotional material.
- From multiple places: We usually require at least three reliable, independent, secondary sources that discuss the topic.

For more information about notability, see the policy page Wikipedia:Notability.

If you cannot find significant coverage of your topic in multiple, reliable, independent sources then it would not meet our notability criteria and therefore would not merit an article at this time.


Rejected: This topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia.
Wikipedia only hosts articles about notable topics, using our special criteria of "notability" which has been developed over the last two decades. "Notability" does not mean "popular" or "famous"; instead the test of notability is determined if the topic has had significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.

For more information about notability, see the policy page Wikipedia:Notability. If I have rejected your article for this reason, what you have written is not yet notable and does not merit an article at this time.

If something has fundamentally changed about your topic and you can now prove notability, let me know and I can take another look.


Rejected: This submission is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia.
Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia and can only accept articles about real topics that can be referenced by reliable sources. Wikipedia is not:
  1. A place to host your original research, a place to write personal essays or opinions, or to document something you've just invented or made up.
  2. A place to promote or advertise a topic, person, or thing.
  3. A social media website or discussion forum.
  4. A business directory.
  5. An indiscriminate collection of everything to have ever existed.

For more information about what Wikipedia is not, see the policy page Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not. If I have rejected your article for this reason, what you have written is not suitable for Wikipedia and can not be published.

You will not be able to re-submit your draft for review.
