I've made a few edits to your draft at Draft:Martin-Springer Institute. These were just edits to form, not really anything significant about content.

There is now a button labeled "Submit your draft for review" which you can use when you want an experienced editor to consider your draft for inclusion in the encyclopedia. For a first-time editor, you've done pretty well, but I'm concerned that you are relying on the institute's own writings about itself for too much of your content. Wikipedia, before an article can be accepted, wants to see secondary sources that establish the notability of the subject. In this case, the guidelines at NORG would be applied.

So that's what you need to work on: find independent in-depth coverage of the institute that has been published in what Wikipedia considers reliable sources. Newspapers, magazines, books, scholarly journals and, in a few cases, websites can all be used as sources, online or not. But what you write in your draft should be based almost entirely on what these independent sources say rather than what the institute wants to say about itself.

Thank you for disclosing your affiliation with the institute on your user page. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 21:01, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
