New articles go through Wikipedia's Articles for Creation (AfC) process, where volunteer editors review the draft for compliance with notability guidelines, reliable sourcing, and neutrality policies. The reviewing editor will either approve the article for publication, decline it with specific feedback about what needs improvement, or request additional sources and revisions. If declined, the draft can be revised and resubmitted based on the feedback provided. The process emphasizes collaboration between the submitter and Wikipedia's volunteer community to ensure the final article meets all of Wikipedia's standards before going live.
