Draft:The Spectrum (Brooklyn Queer Space)

Submission declined on 21 April 2024 by Crunchydillpickle (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 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.

If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.

Comment: Hi, welcome to Wikipedia! I'm declining because there are no citations. Orgs need ~5ish significant mentions in secondary sources (see WP:RSP for more info) to meet Wikipedia's notability standards. Let me know if you have any questions!
