This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.
Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

Comment: Moreover, out of the 4 sources, 3 are press releases, which is something we don't count as reliable. Rewriting is needed along with the removal of PR sources, and introduction of reliable, independent sources. X (talk) 16:27, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

Mana Bay is a Polynesian-themed water park in Bangladesh, situated in Gazaria of Munshiganj District, around 50 kilometres (31 mi) from Dhaka. It ranks as the third largest water park in South Asia by area. The water park received full investment from British sources and opened in September 2023. Spanning 60,000 square metres (15 acres), the park's design incorporates 17 rides, four attractions, 18 cabanas, and features one of the longest lazy river attractions among water parks in Asia.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]
