Your submission at Articles for creation: List of marine protected areas (February 4)

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 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:

Lacks any references or sources

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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This is rather a WP:SURPRISE, as I was expecting a listing of MPAs and not a table with some percentage.

List of marine protected areas

Hi ScrapperJack, I was just about to start a list of marine protected areas and found you have already started it. I plan to create a list article containing the names and locations of all marine protected areas as links to possible future articles. Your table of countries and percentages of territorial waters could be a useful component. Are you interested in collaborating? Please ping with reply. · · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 19:52, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
