Your submission at Articles for creation: Ballet Ireland (January 17)

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

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and 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 when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Ballet Ireland and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Ballet Ireland, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Suggested source for Ballet Ireland

I had a quick look for references that might enhance the Draft:Ballet Ireland article. I was taken by this one: Seaver, Michael (2002-04-16). "Do we need Ballet Ireland?". The Irish Times. Retrieved 2021-01-17. because it ticks all the boxes for independence and reliability while being a decent discussion of whether Ireland even needed a new ballet company. I think that you should put into your own words some of the text along the lines of "some criticism was directed at the new company because....". Articles in Wikipedia need to be written from a neutral point of view which means allowing some negativity as well as simply factual and positive information. If I find further sources, I'll add them to the Talk Page of the article. Mike Turnbull (talk) 16:09, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ballet Ireland

Hey. Regarding your message at my talk page, you're most welcome. Anyway, I'm dropping by because noticed a seeming problem in the article. I could probably figure out the origin myself by looking through the page history for the original text, but since you're the creator and so know what was intended... the underlined part of the following sentence just doesn't really make much sense or at least could use some clarification: "Following various previous ventures, ballet in Ireland Irish Ballet had a "home" in the Irish National Ballet,..." (emphasis added). I'm guessing this results from someone's not-so-great but good faith attempt to "help".--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 14:36, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Fuhghettaboutit, thank you for the message. I will take a look at this for sure as soon as I am home. Many thanks! Midnight713 (talk) 15:35, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Fuhghettaboutit I see what you are referring to now. It was 'Irish Ballet'. An editor changed that to 'ballet in Ireland' but I think forgot to delete the former. Which reads better to you? I will delete the other. Many thanks for pointing it out! Editors including yourself have been really helpful in my first 2 days here. Gives me great motivation to learn and improve!
