Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (January 4)

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

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.

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 User:Lokkyboy/sandbox 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 User:Lokkyboy/sandbox, 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.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 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.

I can't thank you enough for such hospitality. Best regards Lokkyboy ([User talk : Lokkyboy|talk]) 21:35, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sure thing. Please also read through Wikipedia:Short description. The short descriptions you've added aren't quite right. They're too long, and formatted as full sentences. Politanvm ^talk 21:39, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I also recommend going through the tutorial at Help:Introduction to better understand formatting, citations, policies, etc. Politanvm ^talk 22:40, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Lokkyboy, I would very strongly encourage you to read through the tutorial at Help:Introduction as well as the guide at Help:Your first article. Writing a new article can be very difficult for new users, so it will be helpful to first become more comfortable with editing Wikipedia and better understand its guidelines and policies. The drafts you've started aren't appropriate for Wikipedia because they are not notable topics (See WP:N for more information) and don't cite any reliable sources (See WP:RS). Please let me know if you have any questions, and I hope you'll continue to contribute to Wikipedia. Best, Politanvm ^talk 00:10, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edits to Maryam Yahaya, please use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history, as well as helping prevent edit conflicts. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the article will look like without actually saving it.

The *Show preview* button is right next to the *Publish changes* button and below the edit summary field.

It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you. Jessicapierce (talk) 14:39, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Jinin Jikina moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Jinin Jikina, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Ost (talk) 15:24, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome!

Hello, Lokkyboy, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Jinin Jikina, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

New to Wikipedia? Please consider taking a look at our introductory tutorial or reviewing the contributing to Wikipedia page to learn the basics about editing. Below are a few other good pages about article creation.

Thanks for your contributions to Sani Bello Science College Dawakin Kudu, Kano.

I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Schminnte (talk • contribs) 20:26, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dawakin Tofa Science College

Hello. Your recent edit to Dawakin Tofa Science College appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 20:32, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
