Please help me with...best practice.

I've created a page currently out for review (Draft:Crossed_Dragone) If I link to it (for example from the simons observatory or telescope type pages) then will the link Draft:Crossed_Dragone get updated automaticaly or should I just leave the link as a broken one Crossed_Dragone and wait. (I may try and write more such missing pages and it would be good to follow best practice). Thaks

Red links aren't really considered "broken," see Wikipedia:Red link. It's a generally accepted rule that mainspace articles shouldn't link to drafts so I'd strongly suggest leaving the links as they are. Also, note that if you go to https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Crossed_Dragone, there will be a box informing the reader that a draft version of the article is available (using the {{draft at}} template). 78.28.45.145 (talk) 06:02, 30 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Crossed Dragone (March 6)

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 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. 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:

To show notability ,add references for the individual telescopes.

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:Crossed Dragone 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:Crossed Dragone, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
