Your submission at Articles for creation: Hello Huntsville (January 31)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by GrabUp were:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

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.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Hello Huntsville and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Your submission at Articles for creation: KHSP-LP (January 10)

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

I submitted a very similar article for this station several months ago when there was only a construction permit and it was denied because we did not have the full license. Now we have the license to cover. What other information outside of the FCC do we need? I feel that this is a very valid post and it is non-promotional. The reference to the FCC with the license validates that we are legitimate. Thank you for any help you can offer. Robhipp (talk) 23:31, 10 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I wanted to add to that but I also see numerous radio stations on Wikipedia that only have FCC information as their references. Robhipp (talk) 23:32, 10 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi!

Congrats on getting the license. You're right, your article looks good in terms of how it is written, but the problem is that you need more references. All articles have to meet Wikipedia's general notability guideline. This includes those other radio stations that you mentioned - those unfortunately probably don't meet it. As of right now, the sources you have are include HelloHuntsville, the official website, and the FCC license. Articles here have to meet guidelines that were put in the decline message: multiple (typically around 3) published sources meeting all of the following criteria:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary (for example, the FCC document would be a primary source)
independent of the subject

After you establish notability, you generally rely on other sources that don't necessary meet all of these (besides being "reliable")

Hope this helps! EatingCarBatteries _{(contribs | talk)} 23:49, 10 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the help! There is an article coming out this week from a radio publication, so hopefully that will help. I will update the article this upcoming week when that comes out. Robhipp (talk) 01:38, 11 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

That's great. I hope you succeed! EatingCarBatteries _{(contribs | talk)} 23:12, 11 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
