Draft:Africa International Housing Show (AIHS)

Submission declined on 14 December 2024 by Anuwrites (talk).

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 events). 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.

This submission reads more like an essay than an encyclopedia article. Submissions should summarise information in secondary, reliable sources and not contain opinions or original research. Please write about the topic from a neutral point of view in an encyclopedic manner.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.
Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.

Resubmit

Please note that if the issues are not fixed, the draft will be declined again.

Comment: The whole article reads like an advertisement essay. The even't isn't notable enough as it has no minimum required references to support more than 20 different claims written. Advice: Consider fixing article format to match encyclopedic format, add more references and resolve the issue of possible COI. ANU^writes 01:11, 14 December 2024 (UTC)
