Your submission at Articles for creation: Sports Management Research Institute, Inc. (January 5)

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

Fails WP:NCOMPANY, requires significant coverage in multiple independent secondary sources. The SMRI website is a primary source. Reads like the company's website rather than an encyclopedic article.

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:Sports Management Research Institute, Inc. 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:Sports Management Research Institute, Inc., 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.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Draft:Sports Management Research Institute, Inc., 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.

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.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Sports Management Research Institute, Inc. (January 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 Steve M 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:Sports Management Research Institute, Inc. and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Help Needed For Proper Submission

Hi,

We would really love to get our page published, but also want to make sure we are following all Wikipedia guidelines. Is there an editor that can connect with us to help us rework our submission? Or, do you have a service where we can pay an editor to work with us to help us get this published? We are happy to donate to Wikipedia or pay for help services.

Thanks for your time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Go-SMRI (talk • contribs)

@Go-SMRI: You need to disclose that you are paid on your user page. Also, usernames representing shared use are not allowed. Steve M (talk) 23:32, 7 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I would highly advise that you not pay someone to help with your submission, as they would then have a conflict of interest and be subject to the same paid editing disclosure policy that was mentioned earlier. Paying a third party or donating to Wikipedia will have no impact on the chances of an article about this topic being accepted.

Existing significant coverage from multiple reliable, third-party sources is required for a company to pass the inclusion criteria. Lack of sufficient independent coverage means this company isn't notable enough, and no amount of editing can overcome that. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 02:59, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
