Your submission at Articles for creation: L'Union (journal gabonais) (January 21)

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

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:L'Union (journal gabonais) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 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.

Hi, thank you for having a look.

When you say the "This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article."

But why the article is in the french wikipedia ?

Please note, i'm not a wikipedia writer or related to the topic but i'm really surprise why it declined.

If there any issue, can you point them out: there sources related to the topic in french national news such as https://www.lemonde.fr/afrique/article/2009/09/25/le-directeur-du-quotidien-l-union-interpelle-au-gabon_1245313_3212.html, https://www.lemonde.fr/afrique/article/2009/09/26/au-gabon-l-union-journal-de-feu-omar-bongo-se-rebiffe_1245483_3212.html etc. So i'm lost here.

Hi, each version or language of Wikipedia has their own set of rules, guidelines, policies and standards for articles. I would say the English Wikipedia is the strictest in this regard. The issue is that you've only cited one source in the article, and the source you have cited leads to a 404 page. You need to cite a range of reliable, secondary sources about the topic to establish it as notable. Rambley ^{(talk / contribs)} 21:15, 21 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Make since !

I added the sources from le monde backed by AFP.

As stated previously, i'm just offering my contribution.

Please feel free to review by adding your changes in the format etc.

If you believe despite adding more sources still can't fix the issue, feel free to decline the page.

I just wanted to help to translate the page in english it is available in French wikip.

Thank you @WikiDan61, can you please have a look on the following version https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Gnomoy/L%27Union_(Gabonese_Journal) Gnomoy (talk) 08:26, 22 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Rather than creating a separate draft in your userspace, I recommend that you continue to work on improving the draft you've already started. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 12:33, 22 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@WikiDan61 thank you for advice. I couldn't rename it from L'Union (Journal Gabonais) to L'Union (Gabonese Journal).

If now the article is compliant, can you please help on finalizing the contribution.

Best Gnomoy (talk) 20:33, 22 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I've cleaned up the draft to make it publication ready. I'll move it to the proper draft title and then accept it for publication there. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 21:10, 22 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Dakaractu

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Dakaractu, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.
