The comment the reviewer left was:

Needs a lead paragraph explaining what this is. Is it a bridge or a railway? Remove IMDB source. Need more secondary sources independent of the subject (the park that has this). Need wording fix "classic timber" Why is there a detail about Dunbar Lake Historic Park and its hiking trails? The debunking section is not sourced and seems to be original research

The comment the reviewer left was:

strangeandcreepy.com is clearly not a WP:RS. As for the "Ghosthunting Texas" book, that's published by Clerisy Press. I haven't figured out if they're a vanity press or not, but they're clearly a minor player, and I'd be cautious about considering anything they publish to be a WP:RS.

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Controversial topic area alert

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor. — Newslinger talk 11:59, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
