Your submission at Articles for creation: Bay Area Tutoring Association (June 10)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Gene93k was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing 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). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

References fail to show non-trivial coverage by independent reliable sources, as required by the Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) guideline.

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.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Bay Area Tutoring Association and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Bay Area Tutoring Association, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Thank you. UtherSRG (talk) 14:37, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What is wrong with my username? I've had it for 3 years without issue, so I'm unclear on how it violates the username policy.

Just asking for information as I have requested a new username to resolve the issue. Batawriter (talk) 18:32, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please read the policies above. "BATA" is obviously in reference to the one article you are working on. In addition, read and copmly with WP:COI, as you are obviously attached to that organization in some way. - UtherSRG (talk) 18:34, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for letting me know what violated the policy. I was unaware it was an issue as I've had the name for 3 years. I have requested a change.

I have complied with WP:COI since the beginning. My association is listed on the talk page of the referenced article. I just checked, and the notification is still there.

Thanks again for letting me know the issue. I appreciate it. Batawriter (talk) 18:47, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Bay Area Tutoring Association (May 7)

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

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

The recent edits do not reach the level of notability required by Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). Please read and understand that policy. Further, articles should not have external links in the article body, only in the references and External Links section, as required by WP:EL. Finally, including phone numbers and other contact informaiton highlights how this is a promotional piece and not an encyclopedic article, so qualifies for speedy deletion via WP:CSD#G11. -

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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Bay Area Tutoring Association and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Speedy deletion of Draft:Bay Area Tutoring Association

If this was the first article that you created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

The page Draft:Bay Area Tutoring Association has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seemed to be unambiguous advertising which only promoted a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to have been fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you think this page should not have been deleted for this reason, or you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.
