Comment: @User:Angiemcc2023: You have asked me to adopt you, but I guess you want your draft accepted, is that correct? Now, this draft has, as previously suggested, multiple issues, which is why it cannot be accepted. The tone and style aren't good: In Wikipedia, subjects aren't professionals, they don't participate in journeys, and they don't have entrepreneurial portfolios. Also note that vast portions of text are meaningless, for example, the claim that the subject was an administrator with a major telecom company. You need to change the tone and make it siginifcantly more neutral, and your text needs to provide meaningful content.Your referencing is not indicative of a good understanding of citations, so I suggest you read WP:CITEHOW. A book citation for example always contains the author's name, the date, the publisher, and page. "Start up a startup" is not a proper citation.Please also keep in mind that your sources must support the claims that you make in your draft, and that the sources must be independent reliable secondary sources. You cannot cite sponsored content. Best regards, --Johannes (Talk) (Contribs) (Articles) 16:41, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: This draft still reads like a business profile and not like a Wikipedia article. I haven't thorougly checked the sources, but I can already tell that there are duplicates, references to unreliable sources, and references to sources that aren't independent or even secondary. This is unacceptable. Best, --Johannes (Talk) (Contribs) (Articles) 14:39, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: It remains unclear what exactly the subject has done or achieved. --Johannes (Talk) (Contribs) (Articles) 10:11, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
