Hello, Gnomoy!
Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing.

- Hi, thank you for having a look.
- When you say the “This draft’s references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article.”
- But why the article is in the french wikipedia ?
- Please note, i’m not a wikipedia writer or related to the topic but i’m really surprise why it declined.
- If there any issue, can you point them out: there sources related to the topic in french national news such as https://www.lemonde.fr/afrique/article/2009/09/25/le-directeur-du-quotidien-l-union-interpelle-au-gabon_1245313_3212.html, https://www.lemonde.fr/afrique/article/2009/09/26/au-gabon-l-union-journal-de-feu-omar-bongo-se-rebiffe_1245483_3212.html etc. So i’m lost here.

- Hi, each version or language of Wikipedia has their own set of rules, guidelines, policies and standards for articles. I would say the English Wikipedia is the strictest in this regard. The issue is that you’ve only cited one source in the article, and the source you have cited leads to a 404 page. You need to cite a range of reliable, secondary sources about the topic to establish it as notable. Rambley (talk / contribs) 21:15, 21 January 2026 (UTC)
- Make since !
- I added the sources from le monde backed by AFP.
- As stated previously, i’m just offering my contribution.
- Please feel free to review by adding your changes in the format etc.
- If you believe despite adding more sources still can’t fix the issue, feel free to decline the page.
- I just wanted to help to translate the page in english it is available in French wikip.
