Your submission at Articles for creation: Ilan Rubin (photographer) (October 9)

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

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

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:Ilan Rubin (photographer) 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:Ilan Rubin (photographer), click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.

@Pythoncoder: Hi Pythoncoder, thanks so much for taking the time to review my draft submission. I have two questions: first, it looks like you reviewed an earlier version of the page, and it seems the most recent one has disappeared. Are those two things related? Second, please could you elaborate what about the page seemed like advertising to you? This is my first attempt at a wikipedia article, and everything I have read so far says that bio pages are the hardest to get right, so any guidance for how to improve my submission would be much appreciated. And, of course, if there are other guidelines I am not following, please let me know - I'm trying to learn. Many thanks.

It looks better to me know. The one issue I see right away is “Ilan’s photography has gained attention for its uses of abstraction, his inventive lighting solutions, and a unique color palette, resulting in photographs that ‘blend the sublime with the absurd’”. Here, since it’s based on one source’s opinion, you should probably write something like “(Author/Source Name) praised his uses of abstraction...” so it doesn’t sound like it’s in Wikipedia’s voice. Hope this helps. pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 00:00, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Pythoncoder: It does, thank you! Danica Newell (talk) 20:25, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@RoySmith: Hi, Thank you for reviewing my submission. Is there anything, in particular, you think should be edited for more neutrality and less of the promotional vibe that seems to be coming across? I'm a newbie and your feedback would be greatly appreciated.Danica Newell (talk) 20:31, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Ilan Rubin (photographer)

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 Draft:Ilan Rubin (photographer), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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.
