Your submission at Articles for creation: Beyond Shadowgate (2024) (September 27)

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

The comment the reviewer left was:

Great draft, well put together and almost there. Just needs a few tweaks to de-emphasize non-WP:RS sources and hopefully another RS review. It's fine to use GOG and Steam as primary sources, but I'd avoid MobyGames and StrategyWiki as WP:USERG. Also, you may have noticed that Retro8BitShop has just basically republished the Retronauts review with different phrasing, and shouldn't be included at all. I think with AGH, Retronauts and HG101 as the key three sources here, this narrowly edges to notability. AGH looks legit, but isn't really a WP:VG/S source and is from an anonymous writer called Beau, which is a red flag given the site seems to invite applications from writers with no previous experience. A to J Connections looks to be pretty unreliable as a review source. Any more coverage out there? Also remember you can use < ref name = > to cite the same reference in multiple places to avoid duplicate citations.

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.
