Submission declined on 21 May 2025 by HerBauhaus (talk).

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 (see the guidelines on the notability of events). 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.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.
Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.

Please note that if the issues are not fixed, the draft will be declined again.

Comment: At this time, the topic does not meet Wikipedia’s notability guidelines. The draft relies on a single primary source (the event’s official website) and is missing the kind of secondary, in-depth coverage needed to demonstrate notability (see WP:GNG and WP:THREE). To move forward, please add multiple reliable sources, such as newspaper articles or journal coverage, that discuss the event in detail. HerBauhaus (talk) 15:24, 21 May 2025 (UTC)
