Your submission at Articles for creation: Rathdown School (August 15)

Latest comment: 8 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 Wyskoj was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the general guideline on notability and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

No sources, but also may not meet WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Mz7 was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Firstly, you must write the article in your own words. Please do not copy and paste or closely paraphrase text from other websites, as doing so may be a copyright violation. I have removed some content that appeared to have been taken directly from http://www.rathdownschool.ie/history/. Please do not restore it without rewriting it in your own words. I think that this has the potential to be an article. Schools which provide some sort of secondary education are typically found to be suitable as topics for Wikipedia articles (WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES documents this). However, we just need to see some more coverage in secondary sources about the school. Look for more sources like the Dublin People source that provide in-depth discussion of the school's activities. More weight is given to sources on a scale that is larger than the school's locality, such as a national newspaper or an article about a national-level activity that the school participated in. Look especially for sources in places like mainstream news media, books, and academic publications that verify the content in the draft.

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.
