Your submission at Articles for creation: Yellow Advertiser (February 23)

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

Draft article needs

additional information for context (country, where it is based, free newspaper, etc) and better formatting
further work to establish the notability of the publication (notability requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" - see WP:GNG)
additional sources for assertions that are unsupported by references.

It is also currently a dead-end (no valid wikilinks to other Wikipedia articles - the only link (Charles Thomson) is to an 18th century American politician), and there is a potential conflict of interest (WP:COI): the draft has apparently been created by someone named in the article as involved with the publication.

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:Yellow Advertiser 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.
