Template:Refmyth

References are a necessary but not a sufficient condition for the acceptance of a draft. The body of a draft should speak for itself as to the notability of the subject before the references are checked, and may be declined on the basis of the body of the draft.

There is a myth that the addition of more references is the key to the acceptance of a draft. Sometimes that suffices, but the addition of references is usually not sufficient unless a reviewer noted an issue with the references. The addition of more references to a draft that does not establish notability is usually not useful.

References were added to this draft, but the text of the draft still does not establish notability, and will still be declined.

You may ask for advice about notability at the Teahouse.
