Your submission at Articles for creation: Fresno County Board of Supervisors (March 26)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by BenLinus1214 was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability—see the general guideline on notability and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing, so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia.
What you can do: Add citations (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners) to secondary reliable sources that are entirely independent of the subject.

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:Fresno County Board of Supervisors and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Prejudice against counties

Hello. Welcome. I used to live in Kern County, and I created one or two articles about the supervisors there, but one of them was deleted. I soon re-created it based on the person's notability as a broadcaster, but the incident left me felling really bummed. There is a group of editors who think that county governments are not Notable, based on their reading of Wikipedia:Notability_(people)#Politicians, which is nonsense. I will help you with your additions to Fresno County topics if you like. Yours, BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 19:41, 26 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I am entirely new to Wikipedia, and I'm not even sure if this is the proper place to respond, since I appear to be modifying your message instead of responding to it. Thanks for any help you can provide. What's confusing is that many other counties have entries, as well as Boards of Supervisors, which are the top level government for many counties. I wouldn't know where to best find qualified reference sources for a County page which is better than the county's own web pages. Mchenfresno (talk) 19:54, 26 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
