Draft:LitCaf Encyclopedia

Submission declined on 26 January 2023 by Princess of Ara (talk).

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.
