Hello my friend. You do not appear familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. In particular, Wikipedia requires citations to reliable and authoritative third-party sources. Two good sets of Wikipedia guidelines that I have found really useful can be found HERE, regarding verifiability and HERE, regarding the need to maintain a neutral point of view. According to WP:VERIFY, "Any material that needs a source but does not have one October be removed." It also says: "All content must be verifiable. The burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material, and it is satisfied by providing an inline citation to a reliable source that directly supports the contribution."

Wikipedia works on "verifiability, not truth" as a guiding principle. This policy states that “Wikipedia's content is determined by previously published information rather than the beliefs or experiences of its editors. Even if you're sure something is true, it must be verifiable before you can add it. That we have rules for the inclusion of material does not mean that Wikipedians have no respect for truth and accuracy, just as a court's reliance on rules of evidence does not mean the court does not respect truth. Wikipedia values accuracy, but it requires verifiability.BoyTheKingCanDance (talk) 15:32, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am LITERALLY the creator of the journal. MStProf (talk) 15:44, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article was a factual representation of an existing literary journal and support for why a literary journal is an important aspect of any college campus. Anything in that article is verifiable with the links provided in the original content. Blackberry Winter MStProf (talk) 16:02, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your contributions to Blackberry Winter. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. 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. BoyTheKingCanDance (talk) 15:57, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
