I agree with the comment on that draft that you should consider fleshing out the relevant section of the Holi article - Holi#Environmental_impact. If you find that section getting too long, then you should consider whether it would be appropriate to create a free-standing article. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 21:43, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Environmental Impact of Holi Powder (December 25)

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

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

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:Environmental Impact of Holi Powder and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
