Qualifying for a Wikipedia article[edit]

Hi Pichemist. I'm writing in response to your comment:

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

I have no relationship to Allilpritchard, the creator of this draft; I'm just another AfC reviewer like you. I am perplexed that you find the sources to be lacking. The following three sources cited in the article appear to easily meet all four criteria:

Ah thank you, my mistake. I believe that I was attempting to flag it under "v" rather than "nn". Altough after going trough the article once again just now I do think that it should have made it into article space... My mistake.. I'll accept it now. I appreciate the heads up and I ask you only to bear with me as I have not been an AfC reviewer for long. _Signed, Pichemist ^{( Contribs | Talk )} 21:23, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
