Your submission at Articles for creation: DealerRater (July 16)

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

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.

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Please read the previous thread you started at the teahouse here: Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions/Archive 980#Is DealerRater Notable?.

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:DealerRater 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:DealerRater, 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.
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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:DealerRater

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:DealerRater, 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. creffett (talk) 01:53, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Deb. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.
Hello, Hurwith2. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the COI guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.Deb (talk) 08:17, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Drafting new articles

Hi. One tip I'd give you is to be careful with your sources and not use any that are either written by or sponsored by the subject of the article. My second suggestion is that you begin by editing existing articles and wait until you've got your eye in before trying to create brand-new ones. Deb (talk) 15:23, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Deb. I am happy to remove sources that are connected to the company. After editing other pages, do you think I can try to republish? Also, I found another company Wiki page that I thought was a good template - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HomeAdvisor. They mentioned similar stats and achievements. Was this a good comp to use? Deb

Deb, the other reviewer did not think the page warranted a deletion. "@Hurwith2: Huh, I am rather surprised to see Deb deleted it. I certainly didn't think it was that bad (I believe I said it was worth merging with another article), but since I am not an admin I no longer have access to the article... –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 15:47, 16 July 2019 (UTC)"[reply]

Hurwith2, before you continue, would you mind playing the Wikipedia Adventure for me? It helps new users get used to editing Wikipedia. Cheers, –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 17:47, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

HomeAdvisor isn't a good example, in its present state, and I'll be looking at it more closely. (You might also have a look at Wikipedia:Arguments_to_avoid_in_deletion_discussions#What_about_article_x? I think MJL just forgot what he'd said in his review. See what I've written on his talk page.

Draft:DealerRater concern

Hi there, I'm HasteurBot. I just wanted to let you know that Draft:DealerRater, a page you created, has not been edited in 5 months. The Articles for Creation space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for articlespace.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.

You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available at WP:REFUND/G13.

Thank you for your attention. HasteurBot (talk) 01:27, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:DealerRater

Hello, Hurwith2. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "DealerRater".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! Squeeps10 ^{Talk to me}_{My edits} 19:02, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
