Your submission at Articles for creation: Minnie Crosthwaite (January 12)

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

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and 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 when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Minnie Crosthwaite and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Minnie Crosthwaite, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 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.

Hello, Sierramfaust! 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! Theroadislong (talk) 17:50, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sierramfaust, I'm tweaking and expanding the article a bit: she's notable, and we'll get her in mainspace, but I want to do that together with Minnie Lou Crosthwaite; their husbands were related, apparently. And then we'll get her on the front page, so that thousands of editors will look at the article. Let me know if you have any questions, and thanks for writing her up.

DYK for Minnie Lee Crosthwaite

On 29 January 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Minnie Lee Crosthwaite, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Minnie Lou Crosthwaite, the first Black woman to pass the teacher exam in Nashville's segregated school system, and Minnie Lee Crosthwaite, one of Kansas City's first Black social workers, both attended Fisk University? You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Minnie Lee Crosthwaite), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (ie, 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
