10:15:50, 13 August 2016 review of submission by 112.198.83.241[edit]


I would like to know if I can add links to my draft in official articles (e.g. List of reportedly haunted locations Balete Drive etc.). If this is prohibited, must I need to wait a little bit more time for my draft's submission to be accepted?

The links that I refer are in this form:

(Main article: ....)

I would also want to ask something: My question: How many weeks (how long) do most articles for creation / drafts take before they can be accepted (or declined)?

You should never add links to a draft to any actual live articles. Please be patient and wait to see whether the draft is accepted or not. --Orange Mike | Talk 10:31, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Fatima Church — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paul attick (talkcontribs) 13:15, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I got a message that my article is not notable. I have seen many other similar article on churches and crated my article on the same lines. Kindly help me understand what i need to do in order to get my article on wikipedia.

thanks

@Paul attick: While it's a good sign that articles on other churches already exist, it doesn't necessarily mean Wikipedia should have an article on every church. Every article needs to independently establish that its subject is notable. You can do that by simply adding references to reliable sources where the church has been written about (that aren't associated with the church themselves).
