Hi,
Thank you for your time reviewing my page Draft:MediaHuman Audio Converter
However I can't understand the reason why it was declined. This is the first time I'm creating a wiki page, so it could have some issues.
As far as I understand, something is wrong with references but I'm unable to find out what.
Any help would be appreciated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jerico2017 (talk • contribs) 07:59, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
@Jerico2017: Hey! Your efforts are appreciated, and for what it's worth, your draft is better and significantly less promotional than many we receive. This issue is that – based on the evidence you have provided – the subject of your article does not appear to meet our notability guidelines. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, which means that while we include a large array of content, we cannot include everything. We need some way of controlling which topics are accepted, and we do this by reviewing the amount of real-world coverage an article subject has received. We ask that editors provide references to ensure that content is verifiable, so we do not publish factual errors, and to ensure that content is notable, so that we aren't flooded with too many articles. Of the six references you've provided, those from MacWorld, Yahoo! and CNET are the best, MacUpdate may be a self-published or closely affiliated with the subject and DigitalTrends and MakeUseOf include the software as part of a list and might be considered simply trivial mentions. These are better than nothing, but are insufficient to constitute significant coverage as required by our notability guidelines. Compare this to something like VLC, for example, which is discussed far more extensively in the media. You may be able to fix this issue by finding more sources, but I've had a quick look myself, and it seems that it may simply be too soon to include this software in Wikipedia.

I appreciate your extended explanation. I'll add more trusted sources soon and try to resubmit. Jerico2017 (talk) 08:47, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
A barnstar for you!

I have no idea what you did to help me out exactly, but thanks for helping me out with the DRN case status box! DonIago (talk) 18:12, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
