Your submission at Articles for creation: Penn State Gameday Buttons (December 13)

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

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

I'm having a hard time seeing how this topic is notable, although the submitters did a good job for what they had. But all sourcing is either trivial mentions, unreliable sources (e.g. blogs), or exclusively local (and usually trivial as well). The only comprehensive source is Ref. 1, which is long out of print and possibly self-published (I can't find any information about this book). Also, photos are not acceptable as sources, at least not without bibliographic info on where they can be found (a website or library collection...I'm talking about Ref. 19). I will decline instead of reject because better sources might turn up, but this is such a niche topic I think that's unlikely.

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.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Penn State Gameday Buttons and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
