- If Campbell signed with the New England Patriots and the Texas Terror but never played in a regular season or post season game for either of them, then he doesn't meet Wikipedia's notability criteria and the draft will never be accepted.
- If he did play a regular season or post season game for either of them, proof published in a reliable source is needed. For example:
- http://www.nfl.com/player/rupertgrant/2500870/profile shows that Rupert Grant played for the New England Patriots in 1995.
- http://www.arenafan.com/players/?page=players&player=431 shows that Gerald Dockery played for the Texas Terror in 1996.
- The references listed in the draft aren't helpful. They are three web pages that don't mention Campbell at all, a broken web address, a Christian book he wrote that doesn't seem to say anything about him, and "Football Prospectus 2007, p. 461", which is so briefly described that I can't even tell what it is. The large page number suggests a book, but I find none by that title. Who is the author? Is 2007 the publication date or part of the title? Who is the publisher? What is the isbn? --Worldbruce (talk) 23:39, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

I have created an article for the school. Draft:Samved_School_(2). Its not accepted and the reviewer have left these comments.
"This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the general guideline on notability and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), 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.
Use independent reliable sources discussing about the school in a non-trivial manner to establish notability. Also retone the article as bluntly as possible removing all weasel words and attempts at promotion. And remove the over detailed biography of the founder. Also, Wikipedia is not the school web-site!
I have just created the article, with the basic information about the school. I was sure,that it doesn't sound like an advertisement. I see, lot of such pages are accepted. one of this is quite similar. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethany_High. I need to know, why this article is accepted, and why not the one for "samved school"
Your suggestions and any help is this matter, is appreciated. Poojnm1985 (talk) 04:53, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

How do I change words in the main text of a drafted input to wikipedia? There is no edit button. ≈≈≈≈
- @Kofferdist: The mechanics of editing a draft are the same as editing anything else in Wikipedia. On Draft:Sölve Arvedson click the edit tab near the top of the page. It should look something like this:
