Your submission at Articles for creation: FOOD For Lane County (August 10)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by KylieTastic 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 (see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies). 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.

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:FOOD For Lane County and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Your submission at Articles for creation: FOOD For Lane County (August 19)

Your recent article submission has been rejected. If you have further questions, you can ask at the Articles for creation help desk or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help. The reason left by S0091 was: This topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia.

S0091 (talk) 18:12, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Can you elaborate further on why you don't believe the topic is sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia? Ian503 (talk) 18:25, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ian503, it does not meet the notability and sourcing requirements for an organization. The sources provided were either largely what the organization said about itself so not independent, from the local area (see WP:AUD) and/or was a brief mention. S0091 (talk) 18:30, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

With all due respect, I believe the subject matter definitely meets the notability and sourcing requirements. From the links that you sent it says "Evidence of significant coverage by international or national, or at least regional, media is a strong indication of notability." I have provided 3 sources: the first two from regional, respected newspapers that feature articles solely about FOOD For Lane County. The last source I included because this page keeps getting rejected for lack of notability. It is an article from the "The Oregonian"--a statewide newspaper. Although FOOD For Lane County is not mentioned in the title, it is about an event sponsored completely by the organization and has much more than a passing reference to this food bank. All 3 sources are secondary sources, undeniably independent of FOOD For Lane County.

I am a little frustrated that I keep getting the same cookie-cutter rejection response about notability. I based this article on one about the Oregon Food Bank that was written by User:Another Believer. I know they are a very respected contributor to the Wikiproject Oregon as well as Wikipedia as a whole. They created this article https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Oregon_Food_Bank&oldid=855615015. It had one source from The Oregonian. I cannot see how that article meets the notability requirements, but one about a similar organization with similar sources (as well as additional regional sources) does not.

I therefore ask you to please reconsider your decision about this article submission. Ian503 (talk) 18:52, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Merlyn Wood (January 18)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by I dream of horses 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 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 (see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics). 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:

Lacks sourcing.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Merlyn Wood (January 19)

Your recent article submission has been rejected. If you have further questions, you can ask at the Articles for creation help desk or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help. The reason left by Robert McClenon was: This topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia. The comment the reviewer left was:

This draft does not appear to indicate which of the musical notability criteria is satisfied. If at least one of the criteria is satisfied, please revise this draft appropriately, with a reliable source, if necessary stating on the draft talk page or in AFC comments which criterion is met, and resubmit. If the subject satisfies general notability, please also indicate on the draft talk page or in AFC comments when resubmitting.

You may ask for advice about the musical notability criteria at the Teahouse.

This draft was resubmitted rapidly, within a few hours, after being declined, with only minor changes. Resubmitting a draft too rapidly after it was declined is not useful and is not likely to result in approval. When a draft that has been declined is resubmitted, the reviewers look at the history, and expect that the submitter will attempt to address the concerns of the reviewers. If the submitter is not sure what the reviewer wants, it would be a good idea to discuss with the reviewer rather than just resubmitting (and annoying the reviewers).

You may ask for advice on how to improve this draft at the Teahouse or on the talk pages of any of the declining reviewers. (The declining reviewers may advise you to ask for advice at the Teahouse.)

The author is very strongly advised to discuss with the reviewers, or at least to rework this draft substantially, rather than just resubmitting.

If this draft is resubmitted rapidly again, it is likely to be rejected, and it may be nominated for deletion, or a topic-ban may even be requested against further submission by the responsible editor.

This draft has been Rejected by a reviewer in the Articles for Creation review process. DO NOT resubmit this draft or attempt to resubmit this draft or prepare or submit a draft that is substantially the same as this draft without discussing the reasons for the rejection. You may request a discussion with the rejecting reviewer, or you may request a discussion with the community at the Teahouse. A discussion will not necessarily agree to a resubmission.

It should be noted that the reviewer has not decided that the topic is not notable. An article on the topic may be accepted in the future. However, there is no reason to think that this draft will become an article, and there is evidence that this draft will never become an article. If there is to be an article on this topic, this draft must first be blown up and started over.

If this draft is resubmitted without discussion and without starting it over, or if an attempt is made to resubmit this draft or an equivalent draft, without addressing the reasons for the Rejection by starting over, a partial block or a topic-ban may be requested against the submitting editor.

You may ask for advice about Rejection at the Teahouse.

This draft does not contain enough information to be an encyclopedic stub.
