Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (March 6)

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 the reviewer left was:

Specifically needs all major independent significant news in major publications; note that notability cannot be inherited from others.

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 User:Tcostayates/sandbox and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.

Feedback re: draft page

Hi Tcostayates and Seazzy. Tcostayates is a student of mine, and her page has hit a roadblock. Do you have any advice on how to get her group's wiki entry ready for publishing? Appreciate your help. Narrowrooms (talk) 02:28, 9 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Tcostayates and Narrowrooms. The major issue here is that pretty much all of the sources are directly from the organization that the article is about. You'll need to do some serious digging to find secondary sources (newspapers, journals, magazine articles, book chapters) that talk about your topic. I recommend taking advantage of the journal access you have through the university, as well as doing some serious googling through Google Books and Google News. You can also get creative with your search terms, for example "Topic, board of directors", "Topic, campaign", or by doing google searches on people involved in the organization. Good luck!

Thanks Seazzy! Narrowrooms (talk) 16:32, 9 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you both of you Seazzy & Narrowrooms! I have done lots of research on secondary sources, hopefully they stick! Tcostayates (talk) 00:29, 12 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Canadian Alliance on Mental Illness and Mental Health (April 11)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Dodger67 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 the reviewer left was:

There are few, if any, truly independent sources such as mainstream news. This draft also reads very much like a brochure for the organization.
