Your submission at Articles for creation: Charity Concert: Four Together (December 22)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by S0091 were:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

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:

Please see the notability guidelines for events. Need to show historical significance. Also, some of the content appears to be original research.

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:Charity Concert: Four Together and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

I am ready to give up. I have been trying to get this content approved in different formats for more than three months. It was requested to me by the son of one of the performers, and I provided links to actual news accounts, the songs performed, an advertisement promoting it and several articles from people who were in attendance. At every turn, I have been rejected. I have used the sandbox and beginners sections in the hopes of meeting the appropriate criteria. Since this even occurred 44 years ago and two of the performers (Harry Chapin and John Denver) are decreased, I am not sure what else I can do. I welcome any specific suggestions. If not, I will just let this be retired and tell Harry's son I was unable to get it published. Bpin604 (talk) 20:49, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Bpin604, I found and added another source. I suggest taking a look at A Concert for Charlottesville to get a feel for how to structure it. In reading Michael Peterrman's article, I would not describe it as a first-person account because he did not attend the concert. I would describe it as a retrospective. Also, I would remove the information about the YouTube video. A link to it might be acceptable in an External link section but need to ensure it is not a copyright violation (see WP:YOUTUBE). You do not need to make it as robust as A Concert for Charlottesville. It's more about the structure and simply summarizing what the sources said about concert.

Once you have "brushed up" the draft, you can resubmit it. Let me know when you do. Click the "talk" link by my signature which will take you to my talk page where you can leave me a message.

On another note, since you do have a relationship with the son of one the performers, you do need to declare your conflict of interest (read this) with regard to the performer (see WP:COIDECLARE). If you have questions or need help, you can ask at the Teahouse. S0091 (talk) 18:24, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Bpin604! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! S0091 (talk) 17:09, 22 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
