Your submission at Articles for creation: Averett Woods (May 20)

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

The comment the reviewer left was:

Needs citations to reliable sources to demonstrate notability. Find-a-Grave is not considered a reliable source (see WP:FINDAGRAVE). You can look for sources on Google Books, Google News, JSTOR, the Internet Archive and similar.

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:Averett Woods 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:Averett Woods, 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, 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 would know why my article was denied. This article about Green Island Hills (Columbus, Georgia) has Wikipedia and it has no references and is a neighborhood near me .

Hello and apologies for the quick denial. It is true that there are many unreferenced articles on Wikipedia. There are over 6 million articles on Wikipedia, and only a limited number of volunteers to review and improve them, so poorly sourced articles can stick around for a long time. A lot of these articles were created several years ago when the standards for articles were lower. The AfC guidelines prevent reviewers from accepting articles that are unsourced or unreliably sourced, so I am afraid that your submission cannot be accepted at this time. But if you can find more sources to support the content in the article, you can resubmit it and another reviewer will decide whether or not to accept it. You can ask for help with finding sources and writing articles at the Teahouse. Thanks, SpicyMilkBoy (talk) 02:19, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
