Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by NeoGaze was:

The proposed article does not have sufficient content to require an article of its own, but it could be merged into the existing article at Australian Football League. Since anyone can edit Wikipedia, you are welcome to add that information yourself. Thank you.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

This draft is neutral in tone, references are okay, but is not substantial enough to have a full article on its own (at least not yet). I think it would be better suited for the content of this draft to be part of the Australian Football League article.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

Hi NeoGaze

Thanks for your feedback! I have looked extensively at the AFL wiki and I can't find a place for it to fit. It's an emerging (and somewhat contentious) agenda, but has seen a significant increase in favour in younger fans of the sport, given its intrinsically novel and inclusive nature. The purpose for this particular article is that it would be contributed to and developed over time - from people with greater access and resources than I. The VFL exists as a completely separate historical competition when considering the additions of teams from other states and leagues, each with their own history. There is an inherent bias and exclusion - an example being the success of a team, such as Port Adelaide, which has won 36 premierships in the SANFL, but that history is ignored because of the Victorian bias to only include premierships from the VFL.

I believe this page needs its standalone space to give some equity to what the competition is - national and inclusive

 The comment the reviewer left was:

You, the creating editor, know what this is about. You have replied to a reviewer comment. Regrettably that still leaves me asking "What is this about?" thus the context is absent. The sourcing doesn't help the reader understand

Hi Timtrent

Thanks for your feedback, too. I'm truthfully unsure how much more succinct I can be - this competition (V/AFL) has evolved - with a particular nexus point being its adaptation from being state-based into nation-based. So far there is no central space to collate statistics for teams in the modern era. The historical era (pre-1990) excludes statistics from all other teams' histories if they did not participate in the VFL. Rudilouis (talk) 09:25, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
