{{Sources exist|{{subst:DATE}}}}
This article message box is similar to {{Refimprove}} because both templates indicate the need for more references, {{Sources exist}} goes further to indicate a user has at least checked that reliable sources are available to be cited. Through this, the assertion is made that the article is notable. This is often times useful for newly created articles.
A page creator should avoid inserting this message box into their own article, as it is expected that the creator will have already added the sources themselves.
