Your submission at Articles for creation: Scintilla (October 28)

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

I'm close to "rejecting" this as a company that IS in fact non-notable rather than "declining" it as one who is not shown in this draft to meet Wikipedia's notability criteria. MOST companies are NOT notable enough to qualify for an article in the English Wikipedia. The only reference that came even close to hinting that the subject MIGHT be notable is https://www.tripcreator.com/blog/top-5-icelandic-designers but that's a blog, so it doesn't "count." My hope for this company is that if a blog called it one of the "top 5" then it has received significant coverage from reliable sources that are independent of the subject. This article should be mostly about what reliable sources that are independent of the subject say about the company, NOT what it says about itself. Yes, things like the year it was founded and top officer's name can be pulled from the company web site, but if others haven't said enough write more than a WP:Stub then that's a very good sign that the topic is not notable. Nothing wrong with writing a stub, but if it can't grow beyond it using only reliable, independent sources, that's a strong clue that this company does not meet the Notability guidelines for inclusion in the English Wikipedia. Please read the following pages before re-submitting: WP:N, WP:CORP, WP:RS, WP:IS, WP:What Wikipedia is not, and WP:About. If you have any connection to this company or its employees or officers other than as a customer, please read WP:COI. If someone is paying you to edit Wikipedia or you are editing as part of your job, read and follow the directions in WP:PAID. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 15:53, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

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:Scintilla 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:Scintilla, 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Scintilla Iceland

If this is the first article that you have 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.

A tag has been placed on Scintilla Iceland requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company, corporation or organization that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. — A. Shohag (ping_me or Talk) 12:10, 29 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed this template in favor of the one below. However, this is a borderline case and if another editor besides ShohagS agrees that it is eligible under that criteria, it will likely be deleted under that criteria, as I won't disagree with two editors independently recommending "A7-deletion" on a "could go either way" case like this. The final call will be up to an administrator, as is the case with all "speedy-deletion" requests. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 17:29, 29 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Basically, you have less than a week to find reliable, independent sources that provide significant coverage of this company, or the page will be deleted.

Speedy deletion nomination of Scintilla Iceland Nov 10 2020

A tag has been placed on Scintilla Iceland requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

MAY be G4 - please delete as "G4" if it is. If NOT G4-eligible please read the AFD and say "not G4-eligible" and copy any references from the old version not present in the current version to the talk page of this version. That will help AFD participants assess notability. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Scintilla Iceland (2nd nomination) and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Scintilla Iceland

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, pages that meet certain criteria may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 16:03, 10 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"G4" means WP:CSD#G4 - G4. Recreation of a page that was deleted per a deletion discussion. The complete rule says This applies to sufficiently identical copies, having any title, of a page deleted via its most recent deletion discussion.^[1] It excludes pages that are not substantially identical to the deleted version, pages to which the reason for the deletion no longer applies, and content that has been moved to user space or converted to a draft for explicit improvement (but not simply to circumvent Wikipedia's deletion policy). This criterion also does not cover content undeleted via a deletion review, or that was only deleted via proposed deletion (including deletion discussions closed as "soft delete") or speedy deletion.

Re-posting of material that has been deleted after a deletion discussion is generally considered disruptive. If you DID do this, please put {{db-author}} at the top of Scintilla Iceland and put a note on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Scintilla Iceland (2nd nomination) saying that the re-creation was in error and you have asked that it be deleted. If you did NOT do this - that is, if the content is not substantially the same, please put your objection on Talk:Scintilla Iceland and make a comment in the deletion discussion that the content is not substantially similar. An administrator can see the deleted version and will check it against the current version. If it is not substantially the same, it will NOT be deleted as a "G4 deletion."

References

^ The result of the most recent deletion discussion controls. This means that if the most recent discussion was "keep" or a default to keep through no consensus, G4 does not apply. Likewise, an article that was deleted through its most recent discussion, but was kept in earlier discussions, is subject to the criterion and may be deleted. (Discussion.)

The page doesn't demonstrate that this person meets WP:Notability or WP:Notability (people) or any other "notability" criteria. Also, for living people, in-line citations are strongly preferred. EVEN if this person is notable, the current page is so promotional that WP:Blow it up and start over applies even if there are no copyright violations and no "sock-puppetry."

I am going to paste the references from the page here:

Extended content

Note that all references must be reliable sources. I have not checked these sources to determine if they are acceptable for use in Wikipedia.

There must be enough independent sources that, between just the independent sources, it is obvious that this person has received significant coverage from independent, reliable sources. Absent this, there can be no article. Once there is enough evidence of "notability" that this is no longer a concern, the drafting can begin. Any draft will need to be written in a neutral point of view. If it comes across as "promotional" it will need to be re-written.

If you have not already done so, read Help:Your first article. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 15:31, 2 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
