Hi there. I'm trying to create an article for my softball club which has been declined due to unverifiable sources. The source I'm citing is the results printed on the website of the federal governing body for the sport in my country. I'm not sure what further source I can cite that would be more verifiable than this. Could you possibly help point me in the right direction? I was modelling my article based on another club in my town that has started this year and only cites news articles, yet their article for the club was accepted and published ( Basel Dragons AFC).

If you could help or suggest a route to investigate what sources are acceptable for a sports club it would be very much appreciated.

Best regards, SB Softball beasts (talk) 10:17, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Hello, Softball beasts! I'm CASSIOPEIA. I have replied to your question about a submission at the WikiProject Articles for Creation Help Desk. CASSIOPEIA^(talk) 13:11, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Softball beasts, In addition to the comment provide in the draft and in AfC help desk, although the sources require are independent and reliable (to contribute to the notability requirement), source such as the official web site or associate can be as "supplement" to the content claimed but can NOT contribute to the notability needed. You can place the official web site under "External links" section. Cheers. CASSIOPEIA^(talk) 13:37, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
