Your submission at Articles for creation: Aurora Party of Alaska (September 15)
[edit]

- If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.

- Hey!
- Thank you for the feedback. The reason I am confused is because I modeled this article off of the Party Party of Rhode Island article, which has 3 references as well and most are government websites, similar to the ones on this draft. I know I’m new to Wikipedia (I tried when I was younger without an account but was horrible at it) so I’m just wondering what specifically I could do better.
- Thanks!

- Hi, unfortunately basing what is OK based off other articles rather than guidelines and policies is not always a great strategy (unless it's marked as a Good article etc). We still have a lot of sub-standard articles to be improved or deleted. Party Party of Rhode Island is not a good article example and if you look at the creators page it's littered with Nominations for deletion and as presented does not show why the subject is notable. However once an articles is in 'main-space' it requires a check of external sources so see if the subject is notable before sending to deletion, rather than in draft when it is up to the submitter to show notability. It's too late and I'm too tired to check it now but Party Party of Rhode Island looks to be dubiously notable and I would not be surprised to see it deleted. As for your own submission it does not have enough coverage to show notability with just one basic listing and one other source. If there are more independent reliable sources with significant coverage please add and resubmit, otherwise it may be that its just too soon. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 21:40, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you so much, I understand what you are saying. I was pretty surprised that it was an article (I’ve read Wikipedia all my life and I rarely read things like that). Thank you so much for explaining it to me!! ColtPamella23 (talk) 21:53, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
