Hello, Owerby! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Eternal Shadow Talk 21:23, 29 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As a very experienced reviewer here, this rejection should not have happened. It seems you had not even submitted the draft, and until you do submit it, it cannot be declined or rejected, because we assume you are still working on it. It does need references before it can be accepted, as my comment below will indicate. Add them quickly and submit, because it is a quite notable topic. If you want to notify me on my user talk page when you think its ready, you may do so. DGG ( talk ) 22:30, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

however, there remain some major problems: 1. the references are not in the necessary full format , which must include the author of the item, the title of the item, the place it was published, and thedate, as well as the link. See WP:CITEBEGIN for instructions on the usual method

2. Some paragraphs are not cited. Some of them seem to be your own opinion. You shouldn't do that here, but find a source for them or remove them.

3. Try to make the writing a little more formal. As a minoimum, replace the word "kids" with "children", or "young people"

4. I advise you to do these improvements as soon as possible, to prevent further problems. . DGG ( talk ) 22:38, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings, Owerby, and welcome to Wikipedia's deletion process! Thank you for your contributions. As a newcomer, it may be helpful for you to read Wikipedia's deletion policy, and the pages describing the articles for deletion process, proposed deletion, and speedy deletion. Remember that deletion debates are not votes, and reasons matter, especially reasons relating to the central content policies of verifiability, neutral point of view, no original research, and what Wikipedia is not, and to the consensual community guidelines for biographies, corporations, music, and fiction. Also remember that deletion is not always the answer to a bad article. Feel free to drop me a line at my talk page if you have any questions. Again, welcome!
