I have the papers from archives from 1912 and 1936 etc they’re not on the internet, I’m happy to send them to you so you can add citations ? im a boxing coach not IT wizard so your help would be appreciated ? Box32 (talk) 14:52, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia relies on published, reliable sources that are available online for everyone to see. This allows other editors to verify the information and ensure accuracy. Unfortunately, unpublished archival documents wouldn't qualify. But you could try searching for published sources that corroborate the information in your archival papers.

Hi, I had this draft on my watchlist after the user was asking me for help with it yesterday. You're rejecting it as not adequately supported by reliable sources, but it has several print newspapers listed in the references. Is there a reason to doubt the reliability of those sources? Belbury (talk) 08:28, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for reaching out about this draft. I do see several print newspapers as references and they can be reliable sources, but unfortunately, many of the references listed aren't readily available online for verification. This makes it difficult to assess their credibility and ensure the information is accurate and unbiased. Additionally, the draft's tone seems to lean a bit towards advertisement, it should be presented in a more neutral and factual manner. The draft has been resubmitted multiple times without incorporating the reviewers' feedback, and they also removed the decline templates and comments. Waqar💬 09:01, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

I'm not familiar with the draft decline process, perhaps it's just a list of checkboxes, but it sounds like the user needs to be given more nuanced feedback here, if (assuming good faith that the newspapers say what is claimed) the sources are reliable and would adequately support the article, but just can't be confirmed by the reviewer. I don't know what the next step should actually be there.

Fair enough on the tone issues. Belbury (talk) 10:32, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback! Unfortunately, I haven't been able to verify any of the listed references except for one. This makes it difficult to fully trust the source material. Since I've reviewed the draft multiple times, I think it would be best for another reviewer to take a look and a new perspective could help reach a clear decision. Waqar💬 16:22, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

Hello @Iwaqarhashmi, I have now added further sources to my draft and thus strengthened the arguments with sources. Does this article fit now? If not, could you help me or point out the deficiencies in more detail? Xelîlê Zozan (talk) 20:17, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. I appreciate the additional effort you've put into strengthening your arguments with sources. Please feel free to resubmit your draft, and it will be reviewed thoroughly to see if it meets the acceptance criteria. Waqar💬 07:44, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

@Iwaqarhashmi: Hello, I have edited my draft, I was wondering what exactly I would need to add for it to be published?
