Your draft article
[edit]I noticed that your draft article Draft:See-through graphics was rejected on first submission, partially due to a lack of any easily-checked references. I think that your draft material has potential, and encourage you not to give up. I think that the material is potentially notable, though it may also overlap with Wrap advertising and might be better merged into that existing article. If you feel that a separate article is justified, you should be prepared to give good reasons why.
In all Wikipedia editing, you must be very careful to keep a WP:NPOV and avoid a WP:PROMO tone. Watch especially for WP:COI issues.
You may find the article Help:Referencing for beginners useful in learning how to build complete and well-formatted references in Wikipedia, including both offline and online sources. The methods shown in Using refToolbar are particularly handy for enabling efficient cut-and-paste construction of a proper Wikipedia reference. The refToolbar method is very useful, because it uses a simple form to cue an editor to include the most important parameters (for example, author, date, publisher), while it takes care of the formatting details automatically. You can skip the later section in the tutorial, on manually building references, until/unless you need to "look under the covers" to make custom modifications.
I will monitor this Talk page for a while, so you can use it to ask me any specific questions you may have. Also, please note the Help and Tutorial links in the Welcome message above. It takes a while to learn how to edit properly, including the important task of adding references. If you have unanswered general questions about editing, ask them at the WP:HELPDESK. Cheers!

Feedback
[edit]Thanks both for your feedback. I am going to keep going until I get this right.
Yes I understand the feedback that I need more references etc and to demonstrate the subject matter is noteworthy. One of the reasons I want to create the page is to increase the awareness of See-through graphics as a industry/product category. There are lots of references across the web so I just need to pull some together. At the moment I am unsure how to link to other websites in the reference section so I need to learn this.
The comment about the vehicle wrap advertising page is interesting. Yes the pages are linked but See-through graphics is the name of the overall product category/industry, which sits at the top of a pyramid of linked subjects. On the level below you might have the different types of products which can be used to create See-through graphics....perforated window films, non-perforated window films, printing directly to glass etc. Then you have the next level down in the hierarchy for the different applications of See-through graphics. Vehicle wrap advertising is just one of hundreds of different applications. It might be the most common but See-through graphics are also used widely on shop windows, for solar shading/privacy on buildings and I have just returned from Vegas where every other hotel was covered in a "building wrap". Every one of these applications should not have its own Wikipedia page (in my view). There is perhaps an argument to merge the Vehicle wraps page into a See-through graphics page but I think this would do a disservice to the vehicle wrappers who have filled their page with a level of technical detail which is maybe too much for a generic product category page.
I like to compare See-through graphics with the mobile phone which was invented about the same time (yes I know that mobile phones are more ubiquitous!). The mobile phone is the product category (like See-through graphics). There are lots of different types of mobile phone and lots of brands (just like See-through graphics). And there are lots of different applications, e.g. texting, voice calls, mobile internet etc (the corollary to Vehicle wrap advertising).
I hope that helps?
re-submitting See-through graphics page
[edit]I have given this another go. I cannot provide web sources for some of the earlier references, e.g. an article of the squash news from 1982 (could I provide a scanned copy embedded in document?). Likewise there doesn't seem to be any reference to Prince of Wales award winners. Again is a scanned document ok?
This article is not intended as a promotional piece. My objective is to introduce a product category which does not have a lot of editorial on the web. I am very happy to remove anything which is considered too promotional.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Cycle shop external.jpeg
[edit]A tag has been placed on File:Cycle shop external.jpeg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
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 "Click here to 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 removed 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. Whpq (talk) 10:50, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:See-through graphics external view.jpg
[edit]A tag has been placed on File:See-through graphics external view.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.
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 "Click here to 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 removed without delay.
