Your submission at Articles for creation: Numskull Games (August 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 Zxcvbnm 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 (see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies). 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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Sources are mostly routine announcements and trivial mentions, I can't see a critical mass of coverage that would cause the article to pass WP:NCORP.

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:Numskull Games 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.

Hiya ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ,

Thanks for reviewing the page, I have a few questions if you're able to elaborate slightly.

"Sources are mostly routine announcements and trivial mentions"

(I'm not sure it's fair to call these trivial? They are often announcements from huge gaming websites or outlets, a less reputable game/company wouldn't be given the time of day on these websites).

I'm more than happy to add more resources, there are reviews etc from recent releases and public sales data for example.

However you'll find that almost all games publishers press will always related to their game releases rather than the company itself.

See these examples from pages that have been approved:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Rare_Games

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wired_Productions

With a lot of this in mind though and the lack of approval, can you let us know this page differs from these? I'm obviously more than happy to flesh out sources, but like I say recent ones will be focussed more on game releases.

All the best,

The comment the reviewer left was:

New sources remain trivial coverage; still no evidence that the company is notable. "Merely being mentioned in a source whose primary purpose is to cover an entirely different subject does not necessarily satisfy this guideline..."
