Draft:Finding Dale

Submission declined on 10 September 2024 by Bonadea (talk).

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 (see the guidelines on the notability of websites). 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.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.
Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.

Please note that if the issues are not fixed, the draft will be declined again.

Comment: It looks overwhelmingly likely that this fails the Wikipedia is not for things made up one day guideline, but on the off-chance that it isn't, I'll decline it for now. If significant coverage in multiple independent, reliable sources doesn't appear, the draft will be rejected if resubmitted. bonadea contributions talk 09:50, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
