Your submission at Articles for creation: Greystone Kids (December 4)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Robert McClenon was:

The proposed article does not have sufficient content to require an article of its own, but it could be merged into the existing article at Greystone Books. Since anyone can edit Wikipedia, you are welcome to add that information yourself. Thank you.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This draft does not indicate sufficient separate corporate notability for a separate article for this imprint, but this draft contains additional information that should be included in Greystone Books.

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:Greystone Kids 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:Greystone Kids, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" 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, 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.

@Orangemike: I think you're using a sledgehammer to crack a nut here. The AfC draft wasn't declined as being promotional (if it was block-worthy surely it would have been tagged as {{db-g11}}?) but rather it was suggested it would be easier to add the information into an existing article.

1. GSB is obvious Greystone Books.

2. "Though we are connected to the parent company of Greystone Books, we at Greystone Kids would really like to have Greystone Kids as a seperate entity" is an open admission that this is a collective/company account with promotional intentions. --Orange Mike | Talk 20:51, 6 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

As the one who reviewed after Robert, I'd say we were getting here anyway. The blanking of the AFCH question was going to trigger a report by me. Orangemike just saved the step of formalizing the concern. Slywriter (talk) 21:08, 6 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
