Your submission at Articles for creation: Adheesha Dharmakeerthi (October 25)

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

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 people). 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.

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.

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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Adheesha Dharmakeerthi and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 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.

@Theroadislong hi can you tell me how to improve this article and publish. Isuruda (talk) 17:29, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid your subject doesn't appear to be notable in Wikipedia terms. Theroadislong (talk) 17:33, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia terms say that subject should have coverage on media. This person has coverage on national media such as echelon magazine which is one major business magazines in Sri Lanka. He has been mentioned on education Institute websites that he's lecturing at + one of his initiatives are also featured on a fintech brand website. I have added all those links. I don't understand under wht grounds you are saying that the subject isn't noteworthy Sachake94 (talk) 17:45, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia requires more than mere mentions and preferably not blog sources, you can ask for further opinions at Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk. Theroadislong (talk) 18:03, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Echelon and Economy next articles are about the person and his work. How do you say it's a "mere mention"? And the blog post is a brand blog of a fintech app in Sri Lanka. Sachake94 (talk) 18:08, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest you to do a proper reference check before you hit on the reject button baselessly ! Sachake94 (talk) 18:20, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Adheesha Dharmakeerthi

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Draft:Adheesha Dharmakeerthi, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

October 2023

Hello Sachake94. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Sachake94. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Sachake94|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. 331dot (talk) 18:25, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Specifically, you will need to describe your relationship with Adheesha Dharmakeerthi. 331dot (talk) 18:26, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
