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 brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of 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.

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 after they have been resolved.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Faculty of Law, Humboldt University of Berlin (December 31)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Lijil was:

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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

As mentioned in the previous review, it is very unlikely that the law faculty should have its own Wikipedia article. I would recommend you work on improving the description of the law faculty in the main article for Humboldt University of Berlin instead. The reason I am declining this draft is that the references do not provide the type of WP:SIGCOV (significant coverage in multiple reliable and independent sources) needed for inclusion in Wikipedia. Your sources are not strong - things like university rankings, guides to how to study in Germany or information about what grades you need for entrance in a particular year are not typical encyclopedic content - they make this look like an article written just to recruit students, not to build an encyclopedia. We want significant discussions of the law faculty. This might actually exist for a law faculty as old as this one. I mean, Karl Marx studied there, which you don't mention. You also don't mention that it used to be called the University of Berlin, which seems relevant. A Wikipedia article shouldn't focus on rankings and PR, but on the history and overall cultural position of the topic. If you are affiliated with a university, try asking a university librarian for help finding books or articles about the university that are not promotional. Also, if you have been paid to write this article, or are affiliated with the Faculty of Law at Humboldt University, please read WP:COI and make sure to [disclose your COI https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest#howtodisclose].
