Your submission at Articles for creation: State of Maine V (April 4)

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, Tacyarg, left the following feedback:

This draft's references do not show that the subject meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion. The draft requires multiple published secondary sources that:

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

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

Of the five references, two are to Wikipedia. This is not a reliable source. Two are primary sources or not independent, and cannot be used to contribute to notability. The Marine Log article may be ok, but has no author name and reads like a press release. We need reliable, independent sources.

Next steps

Edit Draft:State of Maine V to address the points above, making sure to publish any changes.
