Not quite ready

edit

In my opinion, your article (User:BroncoFanSCU04/ intactMerrin Thompson) is not quite ready to move into article space. I'll explain why, and remove the request to move this article into article space. Other editors may feel differently, so if you disagree with my reasons, feel free to replace the template, and someone else may move it for you.

Wikipedia articles have a specific structure to them, specified in a guideline called Layout (Click on the link to see the details). Your draft doesn't incorporate some of the required elements of the structure. If you read the page, it will help you understand what is needed and how to do it.

It is important for Wikipedia articles to have references to reliable sources. As a guide to adding references, please see Citing sources and Referencing for beginners. Please add some references to support the factual claims in the draft article.

One of the important requirements of an article in Wikipedia is that it demonstrate the Notability of the topic. (While this is a guideline, not an absolute requirement and exceptions can occur, they are rare.) I don't feel this article has demonstrated the notability of the topic. This can be accomplished by adding references to reliable sources which support the notability of the topic.--SPhilbrickT 19:32, 13 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
