Your submission at Articles for creation: Student Loan Hero (January 3)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by CNMall41 was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

What we need here are references that talk about the site in-depth. A good example is the Tech Crunch article; however, that will not be enough. Even when you add LifeHacker I don't feel the coverage is significant enough to meet Wikipedia guidelines for WP:CORPDEPTH.

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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

I'm not convinced on notability but AfC is an optional process and the creator is free to move this to article space themselves if they feel it is ready.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Student Loan Hero (June 7)[edit]

{{subst:Afc decline|full=Draft:Student Loan Hero|cv=no|reason=v|details=|comment=I looked at the references added recently. Three of them are easy to reject as not contributing to WP:NCORP. The CNBC, USA Today, and MarketWatch pieces are all first-party, i.e. an employee of Student Loan Hero writing about their own company and having it printed in another publication. The piece on lendedu.com is a little harder to evaluate. I've read their editorial integrity statement and I'm convinced they meet our requirements of a [[WP:RS|reliable, independent, secondary source]. But, they're also a niche source; they specialize in the narrow educational lending space, so them writing about an education lending startup doesn't say much about notability.|sig=yes}}
