Your submission at Articles for creation: G.K. Stothert & Co (July 7)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by SafariScribe 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 brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of 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:G.K. Stothert & Co and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Hi Crabjam. It's very pleasing to see this draft popping up on my feed. I'm not a new article patroller, but hope that after your improved referencing it will make it past the next assessment. I have taken the liberty of adding another good source from Grahame Farr. Incidentally, in the second part of that, he identifies at least sixty specific vessels built by Stothart. Also I have parked this illustration showing the 1855 launch of Araxes in Commons for later use. Fingers crossed. - Davidships (talk) 23:19, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
