Your submission at Articles for creation: Memphis District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (July 17)

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

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject—see the general guideline on notability, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Not sure if this District is notable. I would take out the list of commanders and army ranks - link where necessary

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:Memphis District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Since .mil is a US government domain,, and its content PD-US unless stated otherwise, it's not copyvio, and I reverted the speedy deletion requenst. Please add the relevant copyright tag --see WP:Copyright; it is also usually best to summarize or rewrite such sources, so they read in a less bureaucratic manner.
