Your submission at Articles for creation: John G. Iannarelli (November 29)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by S0091 were:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Most of the content is unsourced and what he has written, said or published, or those affiliated with him, is not reliable.

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.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:John G. Iannarelli and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

November 2022

Hello AbbyS8. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:AbbyS8. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=AbbyS8|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. S0091 (talk) 22:21, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I am being paid by the subject to draft and submit a Wikipedia article about him. I am not an employee of him or his company, but an independent contractor. I added the template {{Paid}} to my user page. AbbyS8 (talk) 22:33, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Perfect! While not the reason the draft was declined, I suspected it based on the sources and how it was written. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a place to write a profiles or similar which is what this seems. High-quality sources are needed that have written in-depth about him (not what quoting what he says, etc.) and the article should simply summarize what those sources independently state about him. I think if you stripped away unreliable/low quality sources and sources that are largely his comments, not much is left. 22:38, 29 November 2022 (UTC) S0091 (talk) 22:38, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
