Your submission at Articles for creation: Department of Education, University of Oxford (November 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 DoubleGrazing 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 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:

Primary sources do not establish notability per WP:GNG / WP:ORGCRIT. Please note that while universities are by and large notable, individual departments / faculties / schools etc. by and large aren't.

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:Department of Education, University of Oxford 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.

Paid editing disclosure

Hi, I assume you were trying to disclose your employer with the template placed on your user page? In which case, thank you for doing so. The template had some syntax problems, which I've fixed. If you're happy with what it now says, then great; if not, let me know how you would like it to be amended. This is, after all, your disclosure, and I don't want to be proverbially putting words into your mouth. :) Best, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:24, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I was! Thank you so much for your help, I used the wizard but I didn't think it was syncing how I expected it too. I just need to source some more independent references - is there a number that I would need to hit to get it approved? Currently I think I've got three or four. 84.67.57.187 (talk) 13:52, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There isn't really a fixed number as such, but in practice we tend to want to see three. One could be just a fluke, even two, but when three secondary sources have covered a subject, independent of each other and independent of the subject, that in most cases satisfies the notability requirement.

Bear in mind that per WP:GNG (the most commonly applied notability guideline, by far), these sources should be secondary, and must be at once independent and reliable and provide significant coverage (not just passing mentions etc.) directly of the subject (not of some indirectly related matters).
