Your submission at Articles for creation: SwimSafe (January 12)

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

This ticks a number of rejection boxes.

Advertisement - a majority of this draft reads like an advertisement for SwimSafe, vouching how wonderful and great it is
Citing - some of the references do not actually talk about the sentences they are supposed to support, and some of them even say the opposite of what is claimed. Were the sources even read, or were they just used for one-off phrases?
Length - while a minor point, many of the sections can be significantly pared down (or removed altogether) and still keep the important information. Basically, the draft is too wordy.
External links - there are a lot of news stories in the external links - why not use them as references? If they're not directly relevant to the draft, they should be removed. (as a side note, keep in mind the previous point regarding length, and try to avoid WP:CITEKILL)

You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:SwimSafe and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also get real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Draft:SwimSafe concern

Hi there, I'm HasteurBot. I just wanted to let you know that Draft:SwimSafe, a page you created, has not been edited in 6 months. The Articles for Creation space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for articlespace.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.

You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available at WP:REFUND/G13.

Thank you for your attention. HasteurBot (talk) 01:34, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:SwimSafe

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

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 following the instructions at WP:REFUND/G13. An administrator will in most cases undelete the submission.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. HasteurBot (talk) 02:02, 12 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
