Welcome, Banks116!

Welcome to Wikipedia, Banks116! I'm UtherSRG, and I've been assigned as your mentor. All new Wikipedia accounts receive a mentor chosen randomly from a list of volunteers. It just means I'm here to help with anything you need! We need to have all kinds of people working together to create an online encyclopedia, so I'm glad you're here. Over time, you will figure out what you enjoy doing the most on Wikipedia.

You might have noticed that you have access to a tutorial and suggested edits. It's recommended that you take advantage of this, as it'll make learning how to edit Wikipedia easier.

If you need assistance with anything or have any questions, click on the "Get editing help" button on the bottom right corner of your screen. This will open up a module with links to help pages and a place to ask me questions. You can also ask me questions directly on my talk page, or go here to get help from the wider community.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Hopewell, York Country, South Carolina (March 15)

Draft declined

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. Your draft submission to Articles for creation has been reviewed but not accepted at this time.

Feedback

The reviewer, Robert McClenon, left the following feedback:

This draft's references do not show that the subject meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion for geographic features. The draft requires either:

evidence that the subject meets any of the specific criteria for geographic features;

or multiple published secondary sources that:

provide significant coverage: discuss the subject in detail, not just brief mentions or routine directory listings;
are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight;
are independent: not connected to the subject, such as press releases, tourism boards, or sponsored content.

Please add references that meet these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia.

This does not appear to be a legally recognized place, and its population is not shown, so the test should be [[WP::GNG|general notability]], and that is not met.

Next steps

Edit Draft:Hopewell, York Country, South Carolina to address the points above, making sure to publish any changes.
When you are ready to resubmit your draft for review, click the Resubmit button.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it may be deleted.
