Gamma Phi Omega

I saw your draft on Gamma Phi Omega. The problem here is simply going to be notability. Having dealt with this recently on Alpha Pi Phi, it appears that notability really needs something other than a campus newspaper. I'd like to see if we can find something that fits that before submitting it.Naraht (talk) 15:28, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for looking at it! I elaborated some more on their history and related it back to a book that mentions them, Brothers and Sisters: Diversity in College Fraternities and Sororities. I may elaborate some more on their philanthropy if I can find anything that works. Do you have any other suggestions? Newberrytiger (talk) 21:10, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Gamma Phi Omega (January 20)

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

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere 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, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Needs to reference significant coverage of the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Most of the sources are either by the organisation or are just directory listings. Presumably they've received some outside coverage at some point, but it's not in the article.

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:Gamma Phi Omega and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Gamma Phi Omega, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and save.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
