Your submission at Articles for creation: Skylands Museum of Art (May 19)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by S0091 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 brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of 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:

What they have said or written about themselves cannot be used to establish notability. S0091 (talk) 14:43, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi - thanks for your feedback. I included 5 external references, several of which discuss the museum in depth. Can you be more specific about why these don't qualify?

The links to the museum website are only supplemental, to illustrate the items in the permanent collection and the museum's tax exempt status. Should I remove these entirely? AFNYC (talk) 20:33, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
