Please help me with... I've read quite a few How To's on this so far, but I can't seem to find the answer to my question. Once I've created an article and saved it, it shows as a draft. How do I go about actually submitting it to someone to make sure it can be approved?

Hi, for help on publishing a draft, you should read this page. Basically, it needs to be moved to the mainspace. However, you may wish to insert the code {{subst:Submit}} to the top of your draft, Draft:Victoria Danann, instead. Then you are able to receive feedback before the article is "published", through Articles for Creation, without the risk of the article being deleted. If you want more help, you can click this link to ask a question, or just leave a message on my talk page. Seagull123 Φ 16:42, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Victoria Danann (August 5)

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

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of people, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), 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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This is essentially a dump of her website, in other words, an advertisement. The only independent source cited is a blog, the opinion of which is of little interest to an encyclopedia. The draft needs to reference multiple, independent, reliable sources containing significant coverage of the topic. The boldest claim is being a New York Times bestselling author. Start by proving that with a link to the NYT showing which book, which week, and which position on the list. Wikipedia is not for marketing, promotion, or public relations.

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:Victoria Danann 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.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
