The Orianne Society moved to draftspace[edit]

Hi DenaSchertzer, I have moved this to draft space because it is not yet ready for publication. A cursory search I made indicates that the society may well be able clear our general notability guideline; unfortunately, you have made zero use of sources that actually demonstrate so! Notability on Wikipedia has to be established by demonstrating non-trivial coverage by multiple reliable sources unconnected to the subject - i.e, we require references to news items, magazine articles, TV coverage, book entries, and similar. But currently, almost every reference you provide in the article is WP:PRIMARY : produced by the society itself. You can see how that cannot be used to clear the notability hurdle.

Please try to source the article for the major part with secondary sources of the type listed above. Primary sources are fine for uncontroversial information about the subject, but there needs to be a substantial amount of secondary coverage to clear the notability hurdle.

When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please follow the confirms on the Articles for Creation template atop the page. People will then vet it for these criteria and let you know whether any further improvements are needed. Cheers --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 16:05, 2 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: The Orianne Society (April 13)[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 Gene93k was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), 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:

Lacks reliable references independent of the subject. Almost all references cite the organization's website.

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:The Orianne Society and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:The Orianne Society, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Your draft article, Draft:The Orianne Society[edit]

Hello, DenaSchertzer. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "The Orianne Society".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 23:38, 2 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
