Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time.The reason left by TheTechnician27 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. 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.
The comment the reviewer left was:
I looked for news articles and books that mentioned the Fling, but the best I could find was a very brief mention in the book "Emerging Sports as Social Movements" (2021) – and even that brief mention wasn't about the Fling itself as much as it was Brathwaite's shot. The Golf Digest source is reliable and independent but discusses the course and tournament itself in no substantial detail (once again, it's about Brathwaite). Same with the USA Today source. The Disc Mania source is from the blog of a disc golf equipment store, bringing its reliability into question. However, as the author is apparently this Rick Saffeels, I think it's usable to contribute somewhat toward notability. ATDG doesn't have any indication of editorial oversight per WP:RS. The PDGA and Beaver State Fling sources are reliable but not independent. The article from The Oregonion is, I think, exactly what a good source for this should look like, and I think a couple more high-quality sources just like it would result in this draft being accepted.
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 when they have been resolved.

Good start. From the text it looks non-wp:notable but there's more info in the sources.....suggest adding it to the article. Happy editing!

I appreciate the feedback. I am pretty new at this, I guess I struggle a bit to know how much and what to add to something like this. I could pontificate about various Portland Opens but I think the goal is to try to keep it succinct and high level. I guess I am wondering if you have any guidance for me that might be helpful.
If it was just a few "it happened" facts and then the results, it shouldn't be an article in Wikipedia because Wiki isn't about sporting stats. But you have sources which cover it in more depth. The best advice I can give is to cover the other angles that you sources have chosen to cover in more depth. Happy editing! Sincerely, North8000 (talk) 13:59, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
