American football in Nigeria

Hello Daviwy, I hope you're doing well. I just reverted an edit you made the page linked above because it lacks a citation. You seem to know quite a lot about the subject judging by your very comprehensive draft relating to American football in Nigeria, but for it to be added that the NAFA represents Nigeria in the IFAF and not the NAIF, it needs a citation. I hope you can find one and add it to the page, or even expand the page if you can as it is currently a stub. Wishing you the best, and happy editing!

Nigerian American Football Association (NAFA) moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Nigerian American Football Association (NAFA), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. I did this rather than removing the uncited material in the article, which I felt would be more disruptive. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask on my talk page. When you have the required sourcing (and every assertion needs a source), and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Or feel free to ping me to take another look.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 11:54, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Onel

Can you please specify which citation needs referencing so I can either remove or put the reference Daviwy (talk) 14:31, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Nigerian American Football Association (March 16)

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

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.

Hope this helps :)

Hello again Daviwy, I hope you are doing well. I'm sorry about the recent lack of success with your Nigerian American Football Association draft. I personally think that the topic has notability, but just needs to be formatted and cited better as the page reviewers above have pointed out. The article right now cannot be put on the mainspace, but if it helps, I can take a crack at trying to find citations for the draft to try to get it published. This is not a guarantee, but if the association really is notable, I think I can be of assistance 😁 I hope this helps, and I hope that you stay on the project even after these recent let-downs. I recommend reading some of the basic Wikipedia guidelines linked above to become a better editor on the platform, and I hope to see you continue to edit. Cheers!

Hi @Daviwy, it's been just over one month since I wrote this message but you haven't responded, do you still want me to help with your draft, or have you given up on it? Cheers! Johnson524 (Talk!) 04:51, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Nigerian American Football Association (August 16)

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

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Lots of issues - reads like the organisation's own website, references only link to the main page of articles so I cannot confirm this would pass GNG after a re-write. Needs a complete rewrite and references need to be updated.

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:Nigerian American Football Association and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
