Doug Lofstrom[edit]

Hi ElsieEmma. Thanks for creating the article Doug Lofstrom. Unfortunately,, the article as it stands currently is promotional in tone and could have been "speedy-deleted" as unambiguous advertising. Now, this may not have been your intention of course but the first few paragraphs in particular need to be fundamentally rewritten to comply with our policy on neutrality. Instead of asking for deletion, I have moved the article to draft space where you can continue working on the article and get comments and tips from reviewers. The draft is at Draft:Doug Lofstrom. Cheers, Pichpich (talk) 20:40, 30 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Doug Lofstrom moved to draftspace[edit]

An article you recently created, Doug Lofstrom, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Please work on formatting the article clearer and work on citing your information and doing it properly. ~ Araratic | talk 14:34, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I want to insist on the fact that the above is not the only major problem with the article. As I pointed out in my last message on your talk page, the tone of the article is not consistent with Wikipedia's policy on neutrality and the article should remain in draft space until this issue is addressed. Best, Pichpich (talk) 19:27, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Doug Lofstrom (October 30)[edit]

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

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. 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. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

The content of this submission includes material that does not meet Wikipedia's minimum standard for inline citations. Please cite your sources using footnotes. For instructions on how to do this, please see Referencing for beginners. Thank you.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Much of this remains unsourced. Either find sources, or remove the material. It also still overly promotional in tone.

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 when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Doug Lofstrom and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Doug Lofstrom, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, 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.

Hello, ElsieEmma. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Doug Lofstrom".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.
