Your submission at Articles for creation: Ghost Ship Harbor (August 14)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Dan arndt 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). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Requires significant coverage in multiple independent reliable secondary sources. Wikipedia itself is not an acceptable or reliable source.

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:Ghost Ship Harbor 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:Ghost Ship Harbor, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.

Ghost Ship Harbour Reply

The draft contains what appears to be original research, that is not supported by inline citations. The Fodor reference is essentially a reprint of a press release about the attraction. To satisfy the basic requirements, WP:GNG, the article requires significant coverage in multiple independent reliable secondary sources. I suggest that you have a look at some of the other existing articles (see Category:Haunted attractions (simulated) to give you an idea of format, style and referencing.
