Your submission at Articles for creation: Westminster Detective Library (June 26)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by LEvalyn 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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This sounds like a valuable digital humanities project but the article does not yet demonstrate that it's received enough reliable, independent coverage. The "mentions" section is a good try, except that all those sources are either not reliable (eg blogs) or not about this project (eg the WaPo detective fiction recs). I advise deleting that section from the article (though you could still cite the sources if they support useful info).

The only source here that demonstrates some notability is the Baltimore Sun article. Crucially, to show that this topic is ready for a wikipedia article, you must find more sources like that one -- published by an organization with an editorial board and not connected to the professors or their school. (e.g., The Hill, as an alumni magazine, is not independent and does not "count", though it can still support info in the article.)

I suggest checking Reviews in DH and other academic venues.

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:Westminster Detective Library 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.
