Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by S0091 was:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

• in-depth
  (not just passing mentions about the subject)
• reliable
• secondary
• independent
  of the subject
  

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

@Cossde: do you want me to go to those talk pages individually, or is there a central page where this issue is being taken up? SinhalaLion (talk) 22:05, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@SinhalaLion, thank you. Yes, you may have to go to the talk pages. Cossde (talk) 04:44, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Cossde I had a look and things are an absolute mess to say the least. Could you summarize the issues for each of the four pages you mentioned so I can get up to speed? Give both sides' perspectives please. SinhalaLion (talk) 02:52, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Cossde Ok, I'll have a look. Also, I anticipate another dispute arising in 1985 anti-Tamil pogrom in Karaitivu because I have added and will be adding content and references that point to the misbehavior of the Tamil militant groups towards Muslims in the leadup to the pogrom, something that prior discussion on this topic leads me to believe will not be accepted with open arms to say the least...

Hello, I want to start by saying i am new to wiki editing so I am confused. Can you explain why you think a post regarding a genocide does not warrant its own page? you brought up the war crimes page but that is definitely a different topic with a different focus. You seem knowledgable on wiki stuff so i would appreciate the advice and perspective. 2607:FEA8:FCA0:7B52:C54D:46BB:59F1:E6DB (talk) 17:14, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
