Your submission at Articles for creation: Quest Professional Training and Recruiting for Business (May 29)

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

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere 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, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

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.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Quest Professional Training and Recruiting for Business (June 22)

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

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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

No sources.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Quest Professional (July 24)

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

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere 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, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

The cited sources are (1) a primary source interview with the head of the organization, not independent (2) a brief mention in the form of a quotation from an organization representative, trivial coverage (3) something written by organization staff, not independent (4) a press release, not independent (5 and 6 and Telegraph) not significant coverage of the organization (7) a trade publication, lacks independence. There are two more Guardian articles, neither of which mentions Quest, and an incomplete citation to "4 Cornwall Gardens - Formerly home to Lucie Clayton Finishing School", whose nature and content are unclear. You need at least three sources that contain significant information about the subject, and are independent, reliable, and secondary. You have zero. Based on the cited sources, the subject does not appear to be a suitable topic for a stand alone encyclopedia article. Wikipedia is not for marketing, promotion, or public relations.

Declare any connection

Hello AvocadoMJK. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to Draft:Quest Professional, and that 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 egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to Black hat SEO.

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, and if it does not, 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:AvocadoMJK. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=AvocadoMJK|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, please do not edit further until you answer this message. --Worldbruce (talk) 18:20, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Having a relative who attended the institution in the distant past shouldn't present much of a conflict of interest.

Wikipedia favors large, comprehensive articles. Of the merging institutions, Lucie Clayton Charm Academy is the only notable one. Rather than creating a new article for the merged company, Quest Professional, I would expand the academy article with any reliably sourced information about the merged entity. You can create a redirect, sort of a second name for an article, so that if readers search for Quest Professional they get redirected to Lucie Clayton Charm Academy - where they will find information on both Quest Professional and the history of its notable constituent. If the new name eventually becomes as well known as the academy, the article title and redirect name may be swapped, or the historical entity may be spun out into a separate article.

As you are discovering, writing a new encyclopedia article is one of the most difficult, time consuming, and frustrating things a new editor can attempt. The topic you described in your email has potential, and you shouldn't have a conflict of interest problem with it. To comply with Wikipedia's no original research policy, stick to what reliable sources say and don't let any personal experience creep in. Rather than jumping straight into another new article, spend a few months editing existing articles to gain experience. See Wikipedia:Community portal for ways to help. --Worldbruce (talk) 19:22, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
