Hello, I am trying to learn the ropes here at Wikipedia as I would like to become a regular contribuitor. However I seem to be stuck with my first submission. I have amended this as per instruction but I cannot seem to find a way to resubmit it for review. Can you advise? Link is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/World_Reading_Day

Thanks,

Robin

World Reading Day Submission
Hi Ic0n0clast22. I'm sorry that you are having difficulty with this first article. I have moved it to articles for creation again, but hope to try to explain to you why I think you are having trouble. We would like you to stick around and be a regular contributor and don't want you to go away frustrated.

At first blush your article seems non-controversial but there are guidelines and policies at Wikipedia that apply to all articles. The biggest problem with your submission is that there are no independent, reliable sources cited in order to establish WP:NOTE the notability of your subject.

I have checked all of your sources and they all ultimately lead back to a press release from the organization promoting World Reading Day - none are, therefore, considered to be sources that are independent of your subject and reliable.

A quick google search tells me there is a World Book day, another alleged World Reading day celebrated on June 19th, a World Read Aloud Day (March 7th - internationally celebrated). There is a World Reading Day in Beijing on April 23rd but it is better known internationally as "World Book and Copyright Day" promoted by UNESCO. (see http://www.unesco.org/new/en/unesco/events/prizes-and-celebrations/celebrations/international-days/world-book-and-copyright-day-2012). The Unesco World Book Day is already the subject of a Wikipedia article and you may want to look at it for an example of sourcing. There was even a "World Reading Day Award Ceremony" held in China on April 23rd but I don't know if it relates at all to the World reading day you are writing about. There is also a World Book Day on March 1st that is celebrated only in the U.K. The International Reading Association sponsors an "International Literacy Day" on September 8th.

So, the bottom line is that a reviewer has to be able to verify the legitimacy of the World Reading Day you are writing about, that it either locally (where?), nationally (where?), or internationally recognized based on the reference to it in published third party sources. That isn't possible based on the references you have provided because they all stem from one press release that is picked up by other online sources and reprinted.

Your World Reading Day must have received substantial, independent review, discussion, notice in order for it to be verifiable and notable enough to have a separate encyclopedia article about it. If you can find such truly independent sources and add to the article then it may be accepted. It may be that it is just too soon for an article about it if it just started this year.

I hope this has helped. I am going to decline the article again because it doesn't meet the criteria I have just explained, but you can continue to work on it and when it is ready let me know and I will take another look at it for you.

If I can be of any further assistance, you can reach me at my talk page. Best Regards, Snowysusan (talk) 09:54, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
