Happy editing! Kj cheetham (talk) 19:27, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for your contributions to Functional Metasurfaces. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing as a live article at this time because it has too many problems of language or grammar and formatting should match WP:MOS. I have converted it to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit the draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Orange sticker (talk) 18:53, 21 March 2026 (UTC)

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, RangersRus, 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.

Next steps

• Edit Draft:Functional Metasurfaces 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.

Hi RangersRus,

Could you provide a bit more specific hints of what is it that is missing/wrong concerning secondary sources.

The article is refering to 16 secondary sources from renowned scientific publications, all available online. Is the pure number of references not enough, is it the sources themselves you challenge or the way we are citing them? Or any other feedback you would have would be highly appreciated.
