Your submission at Articles for creation: Southern Pacific 4426 (August 19)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by 331dot 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:
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.
 The comment the reviewer left was:
The sources are all primary sources from the current owners of the locomotive, some of which advertise its presence at the museum. Any article about this particular locomotive needs to summarize what independent reliable sources say about it, showing how it is notable.
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.

What examples are there for secondary sources aiming at this locomotive? 121.45.243.24 (talk) 07:11, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You tell me, you are the one trying to write about this locomotive. Any article about it must primarily summarize what independent reliable sources say about it. For example. Maine Central 470, or M-497 Black Beetle. If there are no independent sources that discuss this locomotive and what makes it notable, it would not merit a Wikipedia article. 331dot (talk) 07:18, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I am trying to write an article on this locomotive and Why are you asking that?, is it illegal for us I.P. users to create articles or even write a draft for an article?
Is this article secondary?: https://utahrails.net/sp/sp-retirements-metzger.php 121.45.243.24 (talk) 07:30, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Also, for the article Southern Pacific 1518 there is in fact only one source, which means that it needs more sources. 121.45.243.24 (talk) 07:32, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You using an IP is completely irrelevant, I would be saying this if Jimmy Wales himself wrote the draft. Thanks for pointing out another problematic article, which I have now marked; as this is a volunteer project where people do what they can when they can, it is possible to get inappropriate articles past us, this does not mean that more should be added. We can only address what we know about. Please see other stuff exists.
The source you link to is independent, but it doesn't have significant coverage of the locomotive- and it's also hard to know if that website is a reliable source with a reputation of fact checking and editorial control. 331dot (talk) 07:48, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Are you a railfan, or are you associated with the museum that holds this locomotive? 331dot (talk) 07:50, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I do have interest in any locomotive in general, if that's the case, then yes, I am a railfan (not a railfan who constantly takes photos or videos of trains), I am more of a historian. 121.45.243.24 (talk) 11:08, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
