DYK for The Myth of the Eastern Front
[edit]On 18 February 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article The Myth of the Eastern Front, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that The Myth of the Eastern Front explores the parallels between the myth of the clean Wehrmacht and the Lost Cause of the Confederacy? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/The Myth of the Eastern Front. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, The Myth of the Eastern Front), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Kind regards, Til --Til1004 (talk) 12:45, 9 January 2020 (UTC)

- (talk page stalker) Til1004, what you need is multiple reliable sources which are independent of the subject and have in-depth coverage of it, per WP:NCORP. buidhe 12:49, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to review my Wikipedia article on Expanse Inc. I understand it was rejected on November 1, 2019, due to the lack of notability. Since then I have revised the draft to remove any promotional language, highlight notability, and made the article as neutral as possible. Would you consider re-reviewing and/or providing more context in terms of what you are looking for? What is needed from my side, specifically, to resubmit?
For more context, Expanse is a technology company that discovers and manages global Internet assets for Fortune 500 companies and large government organizations, including the U.S. Department of State, Department of Defense, Department of Energy, Lockheed Martin, Allergan, CVS Health, PayPal, and many more. Our customers make up over 10% of the routable Internet. Our investors include Arianna Huffington, Peter Thiel, Egon Durban, Taylor Glover, Sam Palmisano, NEA, IVP, founders Fund, and MSD Capital. We were recently featured as Strong Performer by Forrester in The Forrester Wave™: Vulnerability Risk Management, Q4 2019.
From the above, it seems Expanse should have sufficient notability to warrant its own page. Based on your experience, I would appreciate your assistance on how to further improve this article in order for it to be published. Mahnoortarique (talk) 00:01, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
- @Mahnoortarique: Please see: Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#Paid editing. The subject of the draft also fails WP:ORGDEPTH and WP:PROMO. The company is just not notable. --K.e.coffman (talk) 01:21, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

K.e.coffman, you had serious concerns about this nomination. There has been some work and a response to your latest comment. Do you think you could return and evaluate what's been done, to determine whether the article (and nomination) are making good progress, or if the problems are still significant? Thanks for whatever you're able to do. BlueMoonset (talk) 20:33, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
- Hi @BlueMoonset: It's been a challenging nomination to review -- would you perhaps be able to provide a second opinion? --K.e.coffman (talk) 00:33, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
- K.e.coffman, I wouldn't, but we could certainly call for one if you think it's best. I see you've since been pinged from the nomination to give a new opinion after the recent work. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:16, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
