Your submission at Articles for creation: Eugene Local Measure 51 (May 5)

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

The comment the reviewer left was:

I'm not seeing any evidence of coverage beyond local newspapers. Even the sentence that says, The passage of this bill gained some national attention, with famous anti-gay activist Anita Bryant writing a letter of congratulation to the city of Eugene, is cited to the Eugene Register-Guard.

Many of the sources are WP:PRIMARY, i.e. the minutes of meetings.

Also, please proofread the references. The article noted above is in the May 24, 1978 issue of the paper; the reference says, "Eugene Register Guard. 1998-05-24" The whole point of a reference is to be able to locate the original source, which means the information in the reference has to be correct.

As a technical matter, Template:rp should be used for multiple citations of the same source (ex: Gay rights at the ballot box)

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:Eugene Local Measure 51 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.
