    Awesome! I tried to do this awhile back and the article was rejected because not enough news sources had written about it.

      That was my first thought, but it looks like there’s at least 5 non-lemmy sources. I don’t know what the minimum is though.

        Minimum is 3 “notable” mentions of the subject in different sources. For new editors, the standard is ~5 good sources for the submission to be accepted. “Established” editors don’t need peer review to publish an article, hence me being able to publish it.

          I am not surprised that they implemented that. Back when I was more involved, they would frequently get articles from people publishing their obscure business. There were frequent speedy deletion discussions that pretty much just involved telling someone that their advertisement did not qualify as a Wikipedia article.
