Your submission at Articles for creation: DC Tech (December 17)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by DoubleGrazing were:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

It's not clear, from the draft or the sources, whether "DC Tech" is an organisation, a specific initiative, etc., or just 'technology sector in the DC area' in a general sense. In any case, the sources don't seem to discuss it in significant enough extent and detail to demonstrate notability per WP:GNG. (There is also more than a hint of WP:OR in this.)

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:DC Tech and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 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.

Thanks for your review.

"DC Tech" is the commonly used name for the technology center/business corridor based in Washington, DC and is as a result, also used to refer to organizations, meetups etc. It's unfortunately a bit confusing because it's not named something like "Silicon Capital." I will try to make that clearer.

DC Tech is equally prominent as many of the technology centers listed here with Wikipedia articles, and being the focus of the world's largest recurring tech meetup seems sufficiently notable, but I will find some more sources.

I don't think I did any "original research" other than summarizing other Wikipedia articles. Almost everything in the article comes from other Wikipedia articles about prominent tech companies in DC. kwud 02:01, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
