Your submission at Articles for creation: South Seattle Emerald (November 7)[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 KylieTastic was:

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 passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet 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.

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.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:South Seattle Emerald and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Your submission at Articles for creation: South Seattle Emerald (November 7)[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 Stuartyeates was:

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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Wikipedia articles require reliable independent secondary sources with in depth coverage of the subjects. As much as this paper might be doing excellent work, the sources here are just passing mentions. If decent sources are added to the article, feel free to ping my talk page once you've resubmitted the article for review.

I am TRYING to find decent places to cite, but people don't usually write about a small local newspaper. The vast majority of what I'm finding online are people excited about the South Seattle Emerald publishing their work, or publishing a story about them. I added what I could find.

The Seattle Times source is good but I think we need more independent, significant coverage like that.

Only one article has been written about the South Seattle Emerald, news papers don't write about each other a lot. I've linked everything that isn't an author bragging about their article in the South Seattle Emerald, or an org being excited to be written about in the Emerald. What can I do?

Hi, there are 5 in depth independent sources on my article. that should be enough. Magzblock (talk) 00:19, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

5 in depth, secondary, independent sources[edit]

The Seattle Globalist article has 5 independent in depth secondary sources. I would like to request that you please be thoughtful about how you enforce the notability clause, if it possible that what you want to count as notable is influenced by implicit bias? Wikipedia reports on this on its own pages, and notes that notability has been used to exclude pages on women, etc. Please see on the Wikipedia articles on racial and gender bias. Thank you!
