Your submission at Articles for creation: Model Railroad Hobbyist (October 8)[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 Robert McClenon was:

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 general guideline on notability 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:

This draft has no independent references.

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:Model Railroad Hobbyist 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Locomotives International[edit]

Hello Willydat,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Locomotives International for deletion, because it seems to be a test. Did you know that the Wikipedia Sandbox is available for testing out edits?

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. XyzSpaniel'Talk to me 21:50, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have declined this for speedy deletion. I saw your note on Xyzspaniel's talk page, do you still want this page moved into draft space? SpinningSpark 22:18, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

yes user:willydat

User:Spinningspark - I nominated it for deletion. If it is moved into draft space, I will withdraw the AFD. Robert McClenon (talk) 22:43, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It's now at Draft:Locomotives International. Newspapers and magazines are notoriously difficult to find RS for, publishers have a disinclination to drawing attention to someone elses publication. This magazine appears to be well known and respected enough for scholarly papers to cite its articles so I was prepared to cut this one some slack. SpinningSpark 23:37, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
