March 2016[edit]

Since the International Cinephile Society does not appear to be notable enough to be the subject of a Wikipedia article, it is unlikely that any of the drafts you have created will be, and if you move them to article space they are likely to be deleted. Do you intend to move them to article space, or are you expecting to just keep them indefinitely as userspace sandbox pages?

Hello - As you can see I'm new here and still learning the ropes. My impression was that the deletion of the old International Cinephile Society pages was because at that time the organization was perhaps too small to be considered notable, or maybe whoever created the pages hadn't provided adequate references. I've cited (or will be citing, lol, since I'm still learning Wikipedia's styles and markup) quite a few solid references for this type of film awards group, including Variety, Indiewire, Micropsia, La Nacion, Le Monde, Alt Film Guide, Altyazi, Ioncinema, etc. This seems consistent with references provided by the Online Film Critics Society, San Francisco Film Critics, and Broadcast Film Critics, except that the ICS article is more international in flavor. Sorry to be taking so long with my sandbox pages, but I'm trying to put together a complete set of pages with proper links before submitting them for consideration by you and other editors. Is this the right procedure? Do you feel that the group's notability is still in question? They've grown to about 100 members, including well-known critics and scholars from both the US/Canada and Europe, and the website they created in 2010 now has extensive film festival coverage, plus over 450 film reviews and essays.

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:International Cinephile Society, from its old location at User:Shadotall/sandbox/International Cinephile Society. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. /wiae /tlk 14:27, 6 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: International Cinephile Society (March 9)[edit]

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

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment they left was:

Still needs any further available in-depth third-party sources overall.

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 when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:International Cinephile Society and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
