Your submission at Articles for creation: Arena of Kings (August 13)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Ringbang 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 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). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Assertions in the article should be supported by inline citations to reliable sources. To demonstrate notability, direct, in-depth coverage needed in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.

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:Arena of Kings 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:Arena of Kings, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.

Hi, thanks for reviewing our page so quickly!

We would like to make all necessary changes on our article for approval (if that means reducing the amount of content on the page, so be it). We aren't sure which pieces of content requires sourcing compared to those that don't. Could you inform us on which pieces need to be removed due to invalid sourcing?

Thank you.

Hi!

Thanks for making your relationship to the game clear on your talk page.

You scored points. For notability, the game must pass the general notability guideline. (Always remember WP:42.) Since the game is in early access, preliminary coverage will probably be insufficient per WP:SUSTAINED (WP:TOOSOON elaborates on this). Once the game has been out long enough to attract some reviews from reputable sources, cite those reviews in the article—even if they have negative things to say. Summarise reviews in a section called "Reception". We don't care if you get bad press, but we do care about how much press you have in total. The way to demonstrate notability is with reliable sources in inline citations, but please don't flood the page with low-quality references—it's counterproductive and it makes us sad.

The guidelines for articles about games are in item 3 of WP:NOTGUIDE (see also WP:NOTPROMO, item 5). The detailed descriptions of character classes should be removed, and the contents of the "Features" section should be a summary of maybe one or two paragraphs. (Write in encyclopedic tone.) The "Spells & Abilities" section and the first paragraph of the "Gameplay" section are the strongest in the article because they describe essential characteristics of the game in neutral language, and have an appropriate level of detail. Good job on those sections.

Good luck with the game,
