Your submission at Articles for creation: Loves Farm (October 31)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Killarnee were:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

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:Loves Farm 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.

Loves Farm advice

Hi - writing a new article is hard, because there are all sorts of policies and guidelines that you can fall foul of concerning notability, sourcing and so on. There is some guidance at WP:FIRST, which might help you. One thing that you're going to need is independent sources - that is to say, reliably published sources that are independent of the subject. The community website isn't independent, but I did find this BBC news article about the construction of the development which might help. Another thing to consider is whether we need a page about Loves Farm, or whether it ought to be described in our existing article on St Neots (I see there's already some stuff in there concerning the development, which could be expanded). I don't have a view on that - it would come down to editorial judgment, and whether there is enough reliably published material about it. Hope that helps.
