08:08:00, 16 June 2020 review of submission by MGQUINN[edit]
The subject of the submitted page is an innovator in the field of Teaching English as a Foreign Language and has been recognised by the Education sector as a pioneer of highly effective teaching and leaning techniques. MGQUINN (talk) 08:08, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
- MGQUINN The draft will not be considered further. You will probably need to start from scratch if this person meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable academic, as shown with significant coverage in independent reliable sources. You should also review Your First Article and use the new user tutorial. 331dot (talk) 09:54, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
I am requesting assistance because the article I submitted for review was rejected, but I do not see how the reasons stated in the rejection relate to the article. It was stated that "Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed." However, I don't see how that is applicable to the article I submitted. I am happy to make any edits to the article for it to be approved, but I need specific direction. Everything in the article is neutral and every statement is supported by independent sources (all from newspaper articles) and none of the statements are referenced from material produced by the creator of the subject. It would be helpful if I could get specific feedback about any statement that appears to be like advertising or any reference that does not appear to be independent. Again, I am happy to make these edits, but need specific direction.

- For example "CFCUF has been recognized throughout the years for its service to the Jacksonville metropolitan area" is entirely promotional and none of the awards are notable (no Wikipedia article) so do not contribute to any notability. Theroadislong (talk) 14:40, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

This page solely contains facts and a reliable source. The content is not promotional and stands neutral from all aspects.
Saad Anideos (talk) 16:54, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
- Saad Anideos You merely told about Anideos; that is considered promotional on Wikipedia. Wikipedia articles must do more; they must summarize what independent reliable sources state about the subject, showing how it meets Wikipedia's special definition of notability(in this case, the definition of a notable organization). Wikipedia is not interested in what an article subject wants to say about itself. Please review conflict of interest and paid editing for some required disclosures you must make. 331dot (talk) 17:09, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
17:38:33, 16 June 2020 review of submission by Oakus53[edit]
I thought encyclopedias were supposed to include any and all information someone could want. How does it hurt to put this article in it Oakus53 (talk) 17:38, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Oakus53. Encyclopedias aim to summarize important accumulated knowledge. Excessive information can make an encyclopedia harder to navigate, read, and maintain. The draft is about a run-of-the-mill school, unremarkable compared to any of hundreds of thousands of similar schools, and of interest only to those closely connected to it. The guidelines for what schools to include are the general notability guideline and the guideline for organizations and companies. You may find the essay "Wikipedia:What to include" useful too.
- Creating new articles is one of the most difficult and least effective ways of improving Wikipedia. The community rates 98% of existing articles as less than "good", so there are literally millions of ways of improving the encyclopedia without starting a new article. See Wikipedia:Community portal for how to help. --Worldbruce (talk) 02:33, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
