Your submission at Articles for creation: Stanzas (magazine) (May 26)

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

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

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 passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet 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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Substantial work is required on the referencing:

The references to Reid and Skinner shoudl be fully fleshed out with page numbers, please. This safeguards each as freestanding should the "base reference" be removed at some future date.

However, we have no interest in what Reid or Skinner have to say about ther own magazine. Nor is its website a useful reference. Each is counted as a Primary Source.

Pen South Africa is a recycled press release. We cannto accept it as a reference

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:Stanzas (magazine) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit 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.

Almost no South African writers would get in under the current standards. The Global South simply doesn't have the resources after Covid. Atinyfrog (talk) 18:11, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Stanzas (magazine)

Hello, Atinyfrog. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Stanzas".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! Vanderwaalforces (talk) 13:14, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, there is no way for the Global South to adequately represent itself on Wikipedia today. Most of the South African literature articles are legacy pieces from when Wikipedia was less of a closed shop. They wouldn't be accepted today - we simply don't have the required documentation.
