Your submission at Articles for creation: St. Boniface Cemetery (Chicago, Illinois) (January 1)[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 Pichemist 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:St. Boniface Cemetery (Chicago, Illinois) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Hi Pichemist,

Thanks for your message. I'm confused and hoping you can clarify this a little bit. Specifically, I'm comparing the article draft I submitted to existing articles about Chicago-area cemeteries, e.g.:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acacia_Park_Cemetery,_Norwood_Park_Township

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvary_Cemetery_(Evanston,_Illinois)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irving_Park_Cemetery

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montrose_Cemetery

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Olive_Cemetery

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Olivet_Cemetery_(Chicago)

My article already has more references from in-depth, reliable, secondary sources than any of the above. Can you clarify why these articles were accepted, while mine was rejected? I'd love to become a more regular contributor to Wikipedia, so it's important for me to understand the editing guidelines! Rmshaf (talk) 18:57, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
