Help me!
Please help me with... I would like to know what modifications need to be made to my posting for it to satisfy the requirements for publication. I have cited the official International Orchid Registrar- The Royal Horticultural Society that cataloged the orchid hybrid, the organization that also facilitates this authorization, etc. Please get back to me with what additions or changes need to be made. Thank you.

 * You'll need to provide reliable third-party sources that discuss this specific orchid in some detail. Currently out of three references only one so much as mentions Radiant Faith; the other two references don't even back up the statements they are explicitly cited for. "The name was inspired by the color company Pantone’s color of the year for 2014"? Pantone's website doesn't say so, and it wouldn't be a particularly reliable source anyway. The article gives the impression of being a memorial more than an encyclopedia article. Huon (talk) 01:35, 16 May 2015 (UTC)

Please help me with... I have modified the text to be neutral, please let me know if this satisfies Wikipedia's requirements I really don't want this to be deleted.


 * It's better, but unless you can find sources that discuss this orchid in some detail, the topic simply is unsuitable, and no amount of rewording will fix that. Huon (talk) 02:09, 17 May 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for responding. May I ask why the International Orchid Registrar isn't enough as a source? They have told me that they plan to include this orchid and it's story in their next quarterly review magazine, would this aid as a reference/source? What can I do to prevent this from being deleted before their quarterly review magazine comes out? Thank you again for your communication.

 * Hi, the registrar is just a listing, so it doesn't tell us whether the subject is wp:NOTABLE (ie whether it is being discussed in depth by outside sources). As a silly example, a lot of people appear in a publicly available reliable phone book, but don't rate a Wikipedia article. An article in their review magazine would likely be that kind of in depth coverage, but we can't predict the future or cite something that does not exist yet. If you think this will be notable in a few months, maybe a move to draft space would be useful. Hope that helps! Happy Squirrel(Please let me know how to improve!) 02:51, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
