Thank you for your work. Not all topics are notable (suitable for a stand-alone Wikipedia article). does not cite sources establishing notability, so it may get deleted. A source shows that the article topic is notable when it:


 * contains significant coverage: it addresses the topic directly and in multiple paragraphs of detail. A source with only trivial or off-topic mentions of the subject doesn't count.
 * is a reliable source: it has a reliable publication process, or a suitable expert author (look up the reliability of common sources, or discuss). Newspapers and books usually meet this criteria, company and personal websites usually do not.
 * is independent of the subject: it isn't produced by the article's subject or someone similarly affiliated with it. For example, these are not independent: the subject's press releases, autobiographies, website, and interviews.

If you can find notability-establishing sources, please add them: more than one is needed unless the applicable subject-specific notability guideline states otherwise. Specific questions can be answered live at the Teahouse help forum. Thank you. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 23:52, 15 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the message. I have added further information and links to the page to add to the notability of Yellow Card Financial. - ricksmithza Ricksmithza (talk) 15:51, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

Yellow Card Financial moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Yellow Card Financial, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

The reason left by CNMall41 was: This topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia. The comment the reviewer left was: Deleted per AfD two months ago. References fail WP:ORGCRIT including the Forbes articles which are written by contributors. References 14 through 21 are fillers and look more like WP:REFBOMB. Others are crypto blogs, brief mentions, or otherwise unreliable to show notability.
