Your submission at Articles for creation: Soft Hammer (April 17)

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

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. 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 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.

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:Soft Hammer and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Soft Hammer, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.

It looks as if your well-intentioned article was not accepted for Wikipedia mainspace. Please let me know if you would like to do additional work on it in order to bring it up to Wikipedia standards. Please note the edits that I have made. The principal issue that I see here is the lack of appropriate tie-ins to articles on knapping and lithic reduction as well as a general dearth of reliable sources. While the Encyclopedia Britannica is a reliable source, it is generally not a great practice to simply reword content from one encyclopedia for inclusion in another. There are many much better sources on the use of soft-hammer technique in the literature on flintknapping and lithic analysis. The main problem here is a lack of adequate research and citation of relevant sources. Note also that the issue of WP:N must be addressed for new articles. Does the soft-hammer technique merit its own article? If so, that must be evident in the article's content. An alternative approach is to add a section on soft-hammer technique to the article on lithic reduction. Please consider the good advice of User talk:JavaHurricane above for discussing this.
