Your submission at Articles for creation: State Affairs (June 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 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. 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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:State Affairs 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:State Affairs, 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 the next 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, Thomasknob! Having an article draft 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) 20:19, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I will visit Wikipedia:Teahouse. But State Affairs is a strong statehouse politics and policy news outlet covering stories you don't see in some of the legacy media publications. They have full time veteran reporters and an editor that is highly respected in the news industry. Their stories are regularly included in Georgia Trend. They've been featured numerous times by our 2 big Georgia think tanks, Georgia Public Policy Foundation and Georgia Budget & Policy Institute. I included links to those references. They're landing notable interviews and their stories are well sourced and nonpartisan. What else do you think is missing? Thank you. Thomasknob (talk) 13:34, 10 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
