09:40:58, 20 August 2015 review of submission by Hermionegranger321[edit]

How do I make an article not sound like an advertisement?

Hermionegranger321 (talk) 09:40, 20 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Hermionegranger321: Wikipedia articles must report information in a partisan manner without taking positive or negative bias. A list of words to watch is a good introduction; in your specific case "Deltapath offers hardware and software solutions that simplify enterprises’ communications infrastructure" doesn't tell me what Deltapath is or what it does. Indeed, reading the draft I come away puzzled as to what the company exists for - it looks like a supplier of telephone and network equipment, which isn't particularly significant for an encyclopedia. To be honest, I think you should give the draft up as a bad job. Sorry. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 09:49, 20 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

My draft was declined due to not having adequate notability & some reference sites. If I add only below reference sites, write content around it and submit for approval, will they get approved?

  • mca.gov.in
  • abplive.in
  • apparelresources.com
  • business-standard.com

Rajcurator (talk) 12:55, 20 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Are the sites reliable? Do they provide extensive coverage of the company? Are they independent (not related to the company or its products)? If the content of the article is neutral and verifiable, and the references supporting notability are valid (see: WP:NCORP) the article will be accepted.

None of those pages even mentions the subject of the draft. Nor do some of the "references" in the draft. Really, I suggest you give up now. Maproom (talk) 20:20, 22 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 18:58:36, 20 August 2015 for assistance on AfC submission by 70.167.127.38[edit]


Hi,

I am requesting assistance in the creation of a Wikipedia page for Revestor.com. It was rejected because the "submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability." I am new to writing submissions. Could you please help me? thanks!

Hello, I still put my articles to request because I seem to have a problem activating them myself. If someone would be able to provide a step by step of the process that would be appreciated.

Hi. I've responded on your talk page. Julie JSFarman (talk) 19:52, 22 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
