Your submission at Articles for creation: Underwater podcast (March 19)

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 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. 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.

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:Underwater podcast 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:Underwater podcast, 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, 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.

Does buying a book for inclusion in references here count as encyclopedic?

--WinstonZeddmore (talk) 18:45, 20 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If you mean can you use a printed book as a source to cite information in a Wikipedia article, yes you can. Sources do not need to be available online. It helps, but it is not required. Sources also do not need to be free or easy to access- but they do need to be publicly available. Whether you purchase a book in a store, or borrow one in a library, the result is the same. 331dot (talk) 19:38, 20 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
