Your submission at Articles for creation: Broward Marine (August 3)

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

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:Broward Marine 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:Broward Marine, 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, 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.

Your account has been blocked indefinitely for advertising or promotion and violating the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use. This is because you have been making promotional edits to topics in which you have an undisclosed financial stake, yet you have failed to adhere to the mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a form of conflict of interest (COI) editing which involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is strictly prohibited. Using this site for advertising or promotion is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia.

If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, please read our guide to appealing blocks to understand more about unblock requests, and then add the text {{unblock|reason=your reason here ~~~~}} at the end of your user talk page. For that request to be considered, you must:

Confirm that you have read and understand the Terms of Use and paid editing disclosure requirements.
State clearly how you are being compensated for your edits, and describe any affiliation or conflict of interest you might have with the subjects you have written about.
Describe how you intend to edit such topics in the future. GeneralNotability (talk) 00:05, 4 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Appeal for unblocking

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

CassidyDYS (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

My reason for being blocked was suspected undisclosed paid editing. I will explain my relationship to the subject here for review. I am an employee of Denison Yachting, a yacht brokerage. My first ten edits were only on boat brands in which I am familiar with and knew that the information on those pages were not up to date. Then I started the process of creating a page for Broward Marine. Broward Marine is another boat builder, which is no longer in business. However, it was a major boat builder at the time. I am not related to Broward Marine. Broward Marine was founded by Frank Denison, who is the grandfather of Bob Denison, the founder of Denison Yachting, the company that employs me. I did not mention Denison Yachting in the history of Broward Marine, as they are unrelated companies - Broward Marine went out of business before Denison Yachting began. If someone can inform me of the proper way to disclose this, I will be happy to do so. Thank you! CassidyDYS (talk) 9:42 am, 4 August 2020, Tuesday (13 days ago) (UTC−4)

Decline reason:

Denison123 intended to make the same article you made when they were blocked. Seems like there's a clear effort here to create an article on this company through either sockpuppetry or meatpuppetry, neither of which are allowed on Wikipedia. only (talk) 15:09, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

You started editing just a few days after Denison123 was blocked. This user seems to write very similarly to you, shares interests, and has a name similar to your employer. Was this your account? SQL ^{Query me!} 14:48, 4 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This was not my account. Both my account and that account were from Denison Yachting, but I was not that user. The reason for the shared interests would be that we both made edits on marine industry pages. (CassidyDYS (talk) 15:03, 11 August 2020 (UTC))[reply]
