Your submission at Articles for creation: Conchalele (May 27)[edit]

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

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This sounds like a cool musical instrument. However, most of the sources don't really show whether it belongs in Wikipedia. Personal blogs or websites that don't offer significant, in-depth coverage of the instrument aren't great quality sources; that rules out the blogspot and mp3toys sources. Artisttrove doesn't appear to be a reliable source of information as it seems rather promotional in nature. The patent indicates that the instrument exists but doesn't show whether the instrument should be on Wikipedia. (Think of it this way—there are tens of thousands of patents filed every year, but Wikipedia doesn't necessarily have articles about all of them.)

The best source is the Keys News source, since it's from a newspaper with editorial oversight and (presumably) a reputation for fact-checking. If you can find a few more sources of that calibre, then I think the draft might have a chance at acceptance.

On a final note, it seems like you might be connected to the subject of the article as the inventor of the instrument. I'd suggest that you take a look at this simple guide to understanding conflicts of interest on Wikipedia. Thanks,

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 when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Conchalele and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
