Promotional tone

If a draft is written in a strongly promotional tone, it can be subjected to Speedy deletion even if the creator has not submitted it yet. Key to succeeding is finding reliable source references about the company, written by people who have no connection to the company. What the company writes about itself (website, press releases, interviews with management...) counts for naught. David notMD (talk) 12:00, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

While a draft, a paid editor can work directly on the draft, but once approved as an article, paid editors are restricted to proposing changes on the Talk page of the article, for a non-involved editor to review and decide. Hence, make the draft as complete as possible before submitting. David notMD (talk) 15:31, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Timing

FYI - From when a draft is submitted to AFC to it being reviewed can be days, weeks, or (sadly) months. There is a backlog of >5,000 drafts, and the system is not a queue. If approved, a new article does not become 'visible' to search engines until either approved by new pages patrol or 90 days (whichever first). David notMD (talk) 15:28, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Greenleaf-TDG (June 26)

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

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 organizations and companies). 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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Almost every source is either linking to Companies House or Greenleaf's website. The others don't even contain information about the article's subject.

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:Greenleaf-TDG 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:Greenleaf-TDG, 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.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Greenleaf-TDG Certification (July 21)

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

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.

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 organizations and companies). 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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Only primary sources cited, whereas notability requires significant coverage in multiple independent reliable secondary sources, see WP:GNG. Also, many statements (entire paragraphs) are unsupported by referencing.

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.
