Thank you for the welcome! I have made a few edits here and there in the past few weeks, but didn't decide to actually make a profile until yesterday. I appreciate this message so much, and will poke around in the spaces you linked me to :-) Nicharis (talk) 04:44, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: The Social Secretary (August 28)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by PARAKANYAA 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 films). 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:The Social Secretary 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.

Hello - I am not sure what precisely you felt should be added in terms of references for this silent film. I have read many articles of films from this era that have often have only one or two references. Assunta Spina, The Tenth Symphony, and The Queen of Spades are all examples of similar articles that have fewer references than my draft for The Social Secretary. Is there something in particular you felt was lacking from mine? Nicharis (talk) 21:12, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. You need independent secondary sources. What other (bad) articles have is not relevant. You have two primary references (catalog entries, basically) and one secondary source (but without a page number: it's on page 422). As far as I'm concerned the movie is likely to be notable given the producer and the director, but you need to prove that. So look through books--don't settle for catalogs. You only need a few more.

Oh, one more thing. The plot is really, really long--see MOS:PLOT. If you look through Google Books, you find this and this and this. Drmies (talk) 21:28, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
