Draft:TEDxYouth@ValenciaCollegeIbadan

Submission declined on 2 July 2025 by MCE89 (talk).

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.
