The owner of the logo emailed Commons Admin to give free license. Was that not received? The other photo is my own and I uploaded to Commons under CCby4 821Oakland (talk) 15:25, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I was not commenting about copyright images. There was some text copied from https://www.lakemerrittrowingclub.org/history as well. — Diannaa (talk) 21:14, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

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

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. 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:Lake Merritt Rowing Club and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

I guess I don't understand how this is different than the article for the Oakland Strokes, after which I modeled my article. 172.58.109.243 (talk) 10:13, 17 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

They have ONE citation and it's their own PR statement. 172.58.109.243 (talk) 10:14, 17 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
