Your submission at Articles for creation: Hagar Township Shootout (May 13)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by PARAKANYAA was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of events). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Hagar Township Shootout and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

I cited around 15 different reputable news articles and interviews about this incident. How is this not enough "significant coverage"?

Please let me know what sources would be better. I've reviewed the policies and news articles are considered reputable. Especially when there are several different articles. Viking3779 (talk) 14:55, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think there is a better "reputable" source than the actual police body camera footage of this incident that is linked as source/notation #4 and the actual news interview of the officers involved talking about it(see notation #6). Viking3779 (talk) 15:10, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That is considered original research, since the sources are primary, which is generally discouraged. GoldRomean (talk) 15:40, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
