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

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

• in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
• reliable
• secondary
• independent of the subject
  

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. 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:

These sources are not independent. Wikipedia articles need independent secondary sources with in depth coverage of the subject.

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:Okpella Development Association 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.

I am messaging to try and get a better understanding of how to make the article I submitted more credible. I understand your comment about the type of sources but these are the only ones available that document the activities of the organization online, usually through past activities and those that are documented on social media. But none of the sources I used were published by the same people and have a wide time range which shows that the organization has been in existence for a while now.

I was thinking, there are two other sources that I may add that I am seeing on Google. There are articles by Dr. Jean Borgatti, art historian, curator and professor whose work on Okpella also documents the organization (https://www2.clarku.edu/faculty/jborgatti/fulbrightyear.htm). There's also a Daily Post Nigeria article about Nollywood actress Doris Simeon receiving an award from the organization (https://dailypost.ng/2012/08/11/actress-doris-simeon-honoured-us/).

If these are not enough, would you then say there's not enough to document the organization on Wikipedia? KeroEsho (talk) 12:27, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
