Draft:Freedom to Read (sculpture)

Submission declined on 11 May 2024 by Iwaqarhashmi (talk).

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.

Comment: The source seems credible, but the article might need more work to be approved. Adding information about the artist, design, history, or community reception could strengthen the argument for inclusion. Waqar💬 16:59, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
