Your submission at Articles for creation: Monsters, Aliens, and Holes in the Ground (March 12)

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, ScalarFactor, left the following feedback:

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

evidence that the subject meets any of the specific criteria for books

or multiple published secondary sources that:

provide significant coverage: discuss the book in detail, not just brief mentions or routine announcements;
are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight;
are independent: not connected to the book, such as press releases, the author or publisher's own website, or sponsored content.

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

Next steps

Edit Draft:Monsters, Aliens, and Holes in the Ground 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.

I've added a few more reviews of the book to the reception section. I'd note too that Wikipedia itself has nearly 200 mentions of the book *in the reference section* of various articles about the books Monsters Aliens and Holes in the Ground describes.
