Help me!
Please help me with...How do I move this page from Draft to being live? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Twin_Cities_Jacks_Soccer_Club

 * I'm afraid the short answer is, you don't, at least not directly, for two reasons:
 * First, I presume that you are the Executive Director of the club. That gives you, from Wikipedia's point of view, a Conflict of interest, and you should read that page and the Plain and simple conflict of interest guide. You will see that you should not edit directly about your club, but may submit a draft for review by an uninvolved user. I have added to the top of the draft an "Unsubmitted draft" template with a "Submit" button to use when it is ready.
 * It is not ready yet, because Wikipedia has an inclusion test called Notability which is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by references showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Youtube, Facebook, blogs, places where anyone can post anything; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones and anything based on press releases. The test is, have people not connected with the subject thought it significant enough to write substantial comment about? See also Notability (summary).
 * There is good advice at WP:Your first article. JohnCD (talk) 16:32, 12 April 2016 (UTC)


 * I wondered at the time whether it was a mistake to put the "Unsubmitted draft" template with its "Submit" button on the article before writing the explanation above. Evidently it was - sorry about that. I have reverted your clicking of "Submit" because, as I explained above, the page is not acceptable yet for lack of references showing significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources.
