Thanks for your message on my Talk page. I'll reply here, which seems to be the logical place to continue the conversation. Your draft article is not the worst I've seen, it is well structured, fairly succinct and you've obviously mastered inline citations (which is helpful for us reviewers). I declined it as "advertising", I think the largely unsourced sections from "Services" onwards sounded too much like you were plugging IMD's products. The introductory paragraph sounds a bit jargon-y and doesn't set things off on a good footing.

Looking at it again, however, I may have been a bit harsh and the advert-iness is not as bad as I first thought. All the same, subjects need to be shown to be widely known and/or important. the 'notability' criteria for companies is generally a bit higher and we like to see at least one good example of general news coverage (rather than specialist news and media outlets). A few of your news articles give a few lines to IMD, I don't think that's enough on its own.

Things also need to at least be verifiable. There's several of your citations which do not verify the facts/claims they are next to. For example source 3, next to the early history of the company, is a profile of Charles Dunstone that doesn't even mention IMD, let alone when it was founded. Source 12, next to "IMD Cloud", is about IMD's takeover of eBus. I would point out too that Business Highbeam is a searchable archive of news articles, the article found via Business Highbeam is actually in Music Week magazine.

So there's a lot of things to consider, avoid sounding promotional and prove the subject (IMD) is widely known, suitable for an encyclopedia. Hope that helps! Sionk (talk) 09:57, 22 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:IMD Group

Hello, Adproductionguy. It has been over six months since you last edited your WP:AFC draft article submission, entitled "IMD Group".

The page will shortly be deleted. If you plan on editing the page to address the issues raised when it was declined and resubmit it, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}} or {{db-g13}} code. Please note that Articles for Creation is not for indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you want to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by one of two methods (don't do both): 1) follow the instructions at WP:REFUND/G13, or 2) copy this code: {{subst:Refund/G13|Draft:IMD Group}}, paste it in the edit box at this link, and click "Save page". An administrator will in most cases undelete the submission.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. JMHamo (talk) 23:45, 3 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
