Article not Appearing in Search Suggestions

I have created a new article titled Pachydactylus acuminatus, but when I type the title into the search bar, it does not appear in the suggestions. What should I do?

Vespula structor moved to draftspace

Unfortunately, an article you recently created Vespula structor, is not ready as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage with citations from reliable and independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. I've moved your article to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's WP:GNG guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Ok. I mean to expand the article in the future but wanted to just get it up for later. Brendansoloughlin (talk) 07:42, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Species articles are easy to make "stick" in article space as long as you have two reliable sources, as you can see that your submission was accepted after you added the second reference. I've added the few other bits that are nice to have for an initial stub. If you have trouble getting a stub together, you can ping on me or any number of members of the various WikiProjects an article might belong to and we will be happy to help out. - UtherSRG (talk) 13:10, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
