Thank you for contributing to Wikidata. I see that you recently created an item Q113102320 that does not clearly indicate its notability. The Wikidata project only accepts items that meet its notability criteria, and your item is therefore likely to be deleted soon.
In brief, items must have an associated Wikipedia article, must be needed for statements on another notable item, or must have both identifiers and serious sources. For the last case, a good indication of notability would be multiple articles about the subject in independent publications like newspapers or magazines. You can add such sources as references to specific claims using reference URL (P854), or as top-level claims using described at URL (P973).
Also, this may not apply in this specific case, but you should know that we discourage editors from self-promotion, contributing on topics with which they have a strong personal connection, as this may present a conflict of interest. If you are being paid to edit here, then you are obliged to disclose this. For a longer version, you might find it useful to read the essay "How to create an item on Wikidata so that it won't get deleted".

- Hi @BovlbThanks for bringing this to my attention. As you can notice, this Item is a hospital and was created to document the list of hospitals in the specified area. The essence of creating this item is to increase document its existence as it is not existing yet across any Wiki project - hence the lack of it meeting a notability criteria.
- On the question of paid editing, I see no such issue here as I created this item in the spirit of volunteerism and was never paid. I hope this offers clarity. Thanks for calling my attention to it all the same. Iwuala Lucy (talk) 04:26, 22 February 2025 (UTC)
