 * Hi, Thanks for the feedback.
 * The thing is that it is still a relatively new topic and not much has been written about it, what sort of secondary sources do you suggest? would a news article work? SmallCorrectionsBigImpact (talk) 20:10, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
 * ( Not the reviewer ) If the news article comes from a reliable source and is independent from the research paper (e.g. not a press release), that could work. However, for the source to help show that the topic meets criteria for a standalone article ("notability"), it would need to have more than just a passing mention of the concept.
 * Taking a broader view, my advice is to not create a new article at all and instead add the information (and sources) to an existing article on a related topic, such as Light pollution. If you want, you can create a redirect from Noctalgia to its mention in the existing article and tag the redirect with R with possibilities. (Of course, leaving it alone as a redlink also works.)
 * Then, if the topic gains more coverage later on, it can eventually be split or spun-off into its own article. Until then, information already has somewhere in the encyclopedia proper to go (opposed to a draft or user sandbox).
 * Again, just my opinion; another Wikipedia editor may have a differing view. Thanks for reading, and good luck. Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 22:10, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
