Tips
  • Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
  • It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
  • If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue on the article's talk page. Be civil, and reach a consensus there before restoring the edit.
  • Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
  • When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source. Do not use AI-generated text.
  • If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
  • Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Crossley-Kegresse half-track (August 8)

[edit]
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, MidnightMayhem, 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.
Not clear that this passes WP:GNG when the only sources provided have less than a page each discussing it. Is there more significant coverage? Any military engagements it was involved in?

Next steps

  • Edit Draft:Crossley-Kegresse half-track 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.

The draft as it stands has a reference to a detailed page on the specific vehicle by a UK national museum (which already has a wikipage, wikilinked in the draft). This reference 1. provides significant coverage (detailed page dedicated only to this vehicle) 2. is reliable (reputable source i.e. established domain-specific museum) 3. is independent (non-profit museum established after the vehicle left service).
There are additional references from prominent military historians (again, already with wikipage, wikilinked in the draft) of books not dedicated entirely to the vehicle itself but which explain the importance of the vehicle in the context of other significant organizations and events (again, already with wikipages, wikilinked in the draft).
As such, I do not understand what further modification you require. Please make a more detailed specific request.
Furthermore, although it doesn't directly engage with the criteria you state here, I note for background that every vehicle that has served with a major military (and even minor militaries) appears to have a wikipage as a matter of course, and there can be no doubt from the references given that this vehicle existed and that it served with the British Army. Any decision to reject this vehicle in particular therefore requires specific and extraordinary justification. Phranosaur (talk) 07:17, 16 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
