Hi Sam Sailor, I'm Sam Sailor, and I noticed you removed the submission declined template and/or removed comments made by previous reviewers from NAMESPACE:DRAFTTITLE. Please do not remove these elements as both serve as a way to track improvements. Deleting them will not by itself further the development of the draft. I have added them again. If you have any questions, you are always welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. Sam SailorTalk! 21:58, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
In-draft response when draft has been resubmitted with no or few changes:
A draft should not just be resubmitted without ''substantially'' addressing the concerns raised by the former reviewer(s). Please read the advice given in the pink and grey box: follow the links, read the instructions, then ameliorate the draft accordingly.

In cases of reference Wikipedia:Bombardment(I didn't write this myself, but I don't remember which colleague did, sorry.):
I have sample checked your references. Please check all of them. Many of the references are regurgitated press releases and PR material. These must be replaced or removed, please. They provide an aura of faux notability which is not required and adds no value. Indeed it diminishes Wikipedia's value. We require references from ''significant'' coverage ''about'' the topic of the article, and ''independent'' of it, and ''in [[WP:RS]]'' please. See [[WP:42]]. Please also see [[WP:PRIMARY]] which details the limited permitted usage of primary sources and [[WP:SELFPUB]] which has clear limitations on self published sources.

An album requires its own notability, and that notability is [[WP:NOTINHERITED|not inherited]] and [[WP:NRVE|requires independent evidence]]. That an album is an officially released recording by a notable musician or ensemble is not by itself reason for a standalone article. Conversely, an album does not need to be by a notable artist or ensemble to merit a standalone article if it meets the [[WP:GNG|general notability guideline]]. Album articles with little more than a track listing may be more appropriately merged into the artist's main article or discography article, [[WP:Article size|space permitting]].

A book is notable, and generally merits an article, if it [[WP:V|verifiably]] meets through [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources|reliable sources]], '''one''' or more of the following criteria:
1. The book has been the subject of two or more non-trivial published works appearing in sources that are independent of the book itself. This includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, other books, television documentaries, bestseller lists, and reviews. This excludes media re-prints of press releases, flap copy, or other publications where the author, its publisher, agent, or other self-interested parties advertise or speak about the book.
2. The book has won a major [[:Category: literary awards|literary award]].
3. The book has been considered by reliable sources to have made a significant contribution to a notable or significant motion picture, or other art form, or event or political or religious movement.
4. The book is, or has been, the subject of instruction at two or more schools, colleges, universities ''or'' post-graduate programs in any particular country.
5. The book's author is so historically significant that any of the author's written works may be considered notable. This does not simply mean that the book's author is notable by Wikipedia's standards; rather, the book's author is of exceptional significance and the author's life and body of written work would be a common subject of academic study.

Hospitals, clinics, and related organizations must comply with the [[WP:ORG]] notability standard, which requires, as an absolute minimum:
# that the hospital has been noticed by two unrelated, independent [[WP:Third-party sources]],
# that at least one source that discusses the organization in-depth (many paragraphs directly about the hospital), and
# that at least one source that is outside of the organization's local/service area.
A single author or publisher counts as only one source, regardless of the number of publications by this person. Routine coverage and passing mentions (such as "The victim was taken to E. Normous Medical Center" or "Dr Smith of Smallville Hospital, said...") do not count.
Nearly all hospitals, regardless of size, and most medical clinics and related organizations will have been the subject of at least one in-depth article in their local newspaper. In practice, large, regional hospitals will almost always meet all of these standards, but some smaller hospitals and many clinics will not.
Hospitals that do not meet ''all'' parts of this standard do not qualify for a stand-alone article, and should instead be described in a section on healthcare or emergency services in their hometown articles or parent organization, with suitable [[WP:REDIRECT|redirects]] from the hospital's name. Additionally, if the [[Wikipedia:Independent sources|independent sources]] available to you would not permit you to write more than [[WP:PERMASTUB|one or two paragraphs]], then it may be preferable to add that information to a larger article, with appropriate redirects.

An article on [[Paris]] should mention landmarks, such as the [[Eiffel Tower]] and the [[Louvre]], but not the telephone number or street address of the "best" restaurants, nor the current price of a ''café au lait'' on the [[Champs-Élysées]]. Wikipedia is not the place to recreate content more suited to entries in hotel or culinary guides, travelogues, and the like. Notable locations may meet the inclusion criteria, but the resulting articles need not include every tourist attraction, restaurant, hotel or venue, etc. While travel guides for a city will often mention distant attractions, a Wikipedia article for a city should only list those that are actually in the city. If you ''do'' wish to help write a travel guide, your contributions would be welcome at our sister project, [[Wikivoyage]].

An article about a [[video game]] should summarize the main actions the player does to win the game. But avoid lists of gameplay weapons, items, or concepts, unless these are notable in their own right (such as the [[BFG9000]] from the [[Doom (series)|''Doom'' series]]). Walk-throughs or detailed coverage of specific point values, achievements, time-limits, levels, types of enemies, character moves, character weight classes, and so on are also considered inappropriate. A concise summary is appropriate if it is essential to understanding the game or its significance in the industry. See [[WP:VGSCOPE]].

Wikipedia is an encyclopedic reference, not a textbook. The purpose of Wikipedia is to present facts, not to teach subject matter. It is not appropriate to create or edit articles that read as textbooks, with leading questions and systematic problem solutions as examples. These belong on our sister projects, such as [[Wikibooks]], [[Wikisource]], and [[Wikiversity]]. Some kinds of examples, specifically those intended to ''inform'' rather than to ''instruct'', may be appropriate for inclusion in a Wikipedia article.

A Wikipedia article should not be presented on the assumption that the reader is well versed in the topic's field. Introductory language in the [[WP:LEAD|lead]] (and also maybe the initial sections) of the article should be written in plain terms and concepts that can be understood by any literate reader of Wikipedia without any knowledge in the given field before advancing to more detailed explanations of the topic. While [[WP:LINK|wikilinks]] should be provided for advanced terms and concepts in that field, articles should be written on the assumption that the reader will not or cannot follow these links, instead attempting to infer their meaning from the text.

Texts should be written for everyday readers, not just for academics. Article titles should reflect [[Wikipedia:Naming conventions (common names)|common usage]], not academic terminology, whenever possible.

Articles about periodicals (magazines, newspapers, academic journals, and similar) are required to meet [[WP:N|notability criteria]] by citing significant commentary in independent [[WP:RS|reliable secondary sources]]. Many periodicals are notably influential without being '''the subject''' of secondary sources. The essay [[Wikipedia:Notability (periodicals)]] specifies criteria for judging the notability of a periodical through reliable sources showing its impact.

All universities, colleges and schools, including high schools, middle schools, primary (elementary) schools, and schools that only provide a support to mainstream education must satisfy either the [[Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)|notability guideline for organizations and companies]] '''or''' the [[WP:GNG|general notability guideline]] – note that the notability requirement is to pass one of the two guidelines; there is no obligation to pass both. Please read [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Schools/Article guidelines]] for writing better articles on schools. If after reading, you need feedback or help on a page you are creating, please feel free to go to [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Schools/Help]].

In Wikipedia, things are grouped into articles based on what they are, not what they are called by. In a dictionary, things are grouped by what they are called by, not what they are. '''Wikipedia is not a [[dictionary]], phrasebook, or a slang, jargon or usage guide.''' Instead, the goal of this project is to create an [[encyclopedia]]. Our sibling project [[wikt:Main Page|Wiktionary]] has the goal of creating a dictionary. It is the "[[Lexicon|lexical]] companion to Wikipedia," and the two often link to each other. Wiktionary welcomes all editors who wish to write a dictionary. For details read [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a dictionary]].
