Your submission at Articles for creation: Frank J. Macchiarola Educational Complex (April 15)

Latest comment: 5 years ago2 comments1 person in discussion

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

Thank you for your submission, but the subject of this article already exists in Wikipedia. You can find it and improve it at Frank J. Macchiarola Educational Complex instead.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This is not appropriate content for a new article. One of two things should happen to the existing school article, which I'll get back to. First, a bit about what you've written here:

Your citations go directly after the period of the sentence it references.
Please read WP:My first article. It will explain the proper formatting in a greater degree and also link you to a wizard that will help you with format issues. A link to Teahouse, a q&a forum for new users will be placed on your talk page. They're really good at helping newer users with any issues they have.
Everything you add to Wikipedia, whether via creating a new article or by editing an existing article, is valued by the community. Adding content to existing articles is much easier than creating a new article.
Also, everything you add to Wikipedia must come from a reliable published source. Everything. Whereas every little tidbit does not require a reference, you must be prepared to provide one or the content can and will be removed. Your opinions are never valid content. An opinion expressed by a reliable published secondary source can be quoted,but care must be taken to not sound promotional.

Now, back to the reason this draft is being rejected and you are being advised to abandon it. School articles have a historical low bar to cross to reach notability, which the article you are writing would not qualify for. That bar is that it is a diploma granting school and it can be verified to exist. This campus is neither. Perhaps one of the school's is. If so, all content that can be sourced to reliable secondary sources should be sensibly integrated into the existing school article, and that article should have its title changed to the name of the new school via page move, which would leave a redirect from the old title to the new title.

If none of the extant schools are notable on their own, the same material mentioned before from this draft, plus well sourced content on the closing of the old school should be added in a new subsection of the history section titled simply "Closing" and the title should remain as is.

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 when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Frank J. Macchiarola Educational Complex and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Frank J. Macchiarola Educational Complex, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, 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.
