Hi there! You recently commented on my article about GTR Patricks Vindicator, a notable miniature horse. I have added multiple sources and citations to my article to prove credibility. These include magazine articles, links to a pedigree and outside websites. Thank you! PatrickTheMiniatureHorse (talk) 03:59, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: GTR Patricks Vindicator (February 18)[edit]

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

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the general guideline on notability and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), 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.

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:GTR Patricks Vindicator and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.

Hello! PatrickTheMiniatureHorse, I noticed your article was declined at Articles for Creation, and that can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! DGG ( talk ) 03:22, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Declines[edit]

I noticed your article got declined twice. I'd recommend that, instead of resubmitting it, you just move it to mainspace. It's virtually impossible to get any article about an individual horse through AfC unless it won the Kentucky Derby or Rolex Three Day Event or something else huge. (I've created something like 50 articles, mostly about Tennessee Walkers, Saddlebreds, Morgans, trainers and shows, and never used AfC.) If you want me to move it, or have questions, ask on my talk (neigh) page. White Arabian Filly (Neigh) 00:25, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there White Arabian Filly. Thank you so much for reaching out to me. I'm new to Wikipedia and if you would do that for me I would very much appreciate it. There are tens of thousands of people across the world who greatly disagree, that he is notable. :) Thanks so much, and I hope this gets to you!

I have moved it to GTR Patricks Vindicator. I agree, if he's being written about by Horsechannel.com and all these newspapers he is notable. I've written about horses with far worse sourcing (mostly because they were dead 50 years ago and newspapers from then are mostly not online).

You are going to have to tone it down a bit though, it kind of reads like an advertisement. I'll let WAF help you, but just saying, we have Kentucky Derby winners with shorter articles than this one! (smile). Montanabw ^(talk) 06:37, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
