| Submission declined on 3 May 2023 by Pythoncoder (talk). 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. Declined by Pythoncoder 18 months ago. | |
Comment: I'm having trouble with this draft. I want to accept it, but you haven;t given me any excuse to do so. As an example your reference https://www.cbsnews.com/philadelphia/news/philadelphia-eagles-jalen-hurts-jason-kelce-named-2023-john-wanamaker-athletic-award-recipients/ is a regurgitated PR piece. Mission statements are precisely what Wikipedia is not interested in. We need to know what is said about PCVB by others in sources which pass WP:42. We don;t want nor need what it says on its behalf.Depth and breadth of referencing is fundamental to acceptance. This draft has neither. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 14:23, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

Philadelphia Convention & Visitors Bureau (PHLCVB) is a non-profit destination marketing agency focused on promoting domestic and international tourism and conventions in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.[1] The agency’s mission promotes economic impacts to the city, by promoting job growth and the hospitality industry by marketing the city, the Pennsylvania Convention Center, and attracting overnight visitors.
History
[edit]PHLCVB was established in 1941 by Albert M. Greenfield, with the objective to market Philadelphia as a meeting and visitor destination to international, national, regional and local conventions, and to entice overseas tourists to visit Philadelphia.[2]
In 1965 the PHLCVB became the official tourism promotion agency of Philadelphia. The PHLCVB took over the effort from the city of Philadelphia to promote tourism in Philadelphia in the 1970s.
PHLCVB collaborates with government agencies, nonprofits, corporations, and educational institutions, to share marketing materials about the city.[3] PHLCVB is currently run by CEO Gregg Caren.
PHL Divisions
[edit]PHLCVB currently has three divisions focused on specific events in the area. PHLCVB created The Minority Advisory Council, which later became the Multicultural Affairs Congress[4], and now PHL Diversity as well as the Philadelphia Sports Congress, which is now PHL Sport[5] in 1987. The agency created the Health Care Congress Division in 1990, which is now known as PHL Life Sciences[6].
