Your submission at Articles for creation: Gurkha Memorial Museum (September 24)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Ibjaja055 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:

Most of the sources are primary sources.

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:Gurkha Memorial Museum 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.

This decision is disappointing.

Whilst I accept that the current draft uses 'primary sources', this is because of the lack of source available on the subject matter, possibly due to the museum's location in Nepal, where journalism/documentation is not as strong.

Despite the lack of sources, I am satisfied that this page would be beneficial to Wikipedia- it is currently mentioned (but not linked due to the lack of a page) in many other pages.

I visited the museum in question two months ago and can confirm all information in the article is correct.

The wikipedia page for the English museum of a similar name only has 2 sources, one of which does not work.

Therefore I ask if it would be possible for you to reconsider your decision.

Thank you. Dalton Dalton mw5 (talk) 20:09, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
