@ DAJF: Thanks for helping out with Kawasemi Yamasemi's page. Being new, I don't know anything about the maintenance tags nor a whole lot about Wikipedia's decorum, so it was nice to see someone helping out.

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Winged Blades of Godric 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. 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. If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:OKICA and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window. If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page. You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors. Winged Blades Godric 14:34, 5 April 2017 (UTC) reply Hello! Hwdirre, I noticed your article was declined at Articles for Creation, and that can be disappointing.

@ A412: Thanks for your action on the page! I'm fairly new, so I put a couple pages through AfC just to see the criterion. I'm glad to have worked with you on this. Hwdirre ( talk) 00:27, 24 April 2017 (UTC) reply
