Submission declined on 22 December 2023 by Qcne ( talk). 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 brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements) reliable secondary strictly independent of the subject Make sure you add references that meet all four of 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. This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject. Declined by Qcne 5 months ago.

• Comment: I don't see enough to establish separate notability, so suggest the submission is merged into the existing Star for Life article. Greenman ( talk) 08:15, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

• Comment: Few issues:
  - tone is a bit too promotional (see WP:NPOV)
  - References cannot include links to other Wikipedia articles (see WP:CIRCULAR)
  - Fundamentally we need to see evidence this non-profit meets our WP:NORG criteria: I am not seeing evidence of that yet. Qcne (talk) 17:55, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
