Kirutu, good luck, and have fun. — Coffee // have a ☕️ // beans // 21:40, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your contributions thus far! I added a source for the birthdate you corrected on Jakaya Kikwete, (if you know of another reliable source to add, please feel free to). It's always the best practice to ensure other people reviewing your edit (or perhaps reviewing someone changing your edit) can determine it is verifiable data. Just wanted to give you a heads up on that, since you're new here. Glad to see you've joined us (and in a topic area where we definitely need more editors)! Enjoy the journey, and always feel free to reach out to me for any questions you might have. — Coffee // have a ☕️ // beans // 21:45, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Hashim Mbita (April 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 DGG was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and 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:

Might be notable , if there were sufficient additional information and sources

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:Hashim Mbita 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:Hashim Mbita, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, 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.
