Your submission at Articles for creation: Bridgetown Garden Tools (January 29)

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

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

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 brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of 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:

Lacks independent sourcing.

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:Bridgetown Garden Tools 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.

Hello, Djconn! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 01:42, 29 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Primary sources...

(per the link provided at Teahouse) do not count toward establishing notability. Strongly advise you asking that the draft be deleted by an Administrator. Process is to put Db-author at the top, inside double curly brackets {{ }}. Or else stop working on it, and will be delete in six months. I do hope you find other paths to being a Wikipedia contributor, perhaps improving articles about traditional hand tools. David notMD (talk) 15:30, 29 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks David. I've added {{Db-author}} at the top as suggested. Djconn (talk) 01:12, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Or should it be {{Db-Djconn}}? I searched around but couldn't find a definite answer. Djconn (talk) 01:13, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Cross purposes? You added possible references, but also put Db-author at the top, meaning a request to delete the draft. If you mean the latter, remove the nowiki and /nowiki to activate the request. David notMD (talk) 14:57, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I thought you said that was how to identify my connections (as my business) of the article. I've removed the Db-author thing.

How is the best way to declare my connection (as my business) on the user page? Djconn (talk) 18:27, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Just add a sentence on your User page stating as much. The page WP:PAID describes another way, but not required. David notMD (talk) 01:05, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Thanks! Djconn (talk) 01:51, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
