Your submission at Articles for creation: Icecat N.V. (October 17)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by JC7V7DC5768 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:Icecat N.V. 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:Icecat N.V., 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 need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Your draft, reply

Hi, I'll explain in more detail why you're draft was declined:

1) It sounded like an ad, "Under the name Full Icecat, Icecat is providing access to its complete product content database on a subscription-only basis. By providing coverage guarantees, editorial service levels, content integration services and e-commerce apps, Icecat is providing value add to e-commerce companies." or "Martijn Hoogeveen - Icecat CEO - has kept a close eye on the development of cryptocurrencies since Digicash was created in 1992 by David Chaum. He tried Digicash to observe the technology in an R&D lab. However, it was too early. The first bitcoin hype in 2013 also caught his attention and he decided to invest into cryptocurrencies for the 1st time. Next, he invested in blockchain cloud provider Ledgable in 2017. On the basis of this experience, the Icecat team saw a great business opportunity"

Sounds unneutral and like something in an ad. It should be written in a neutral sort of way. Check out this article is written ,it sounds neutral and like something you'd see in a encyclopedia not in an ad.

2) The sources you provided don't show it is notable. Slideshare isn't a RS, icecat's official site is a primary source (which generally isn't allowed), about us and company profiles aren't reliable sources (unless to show WP:V in some circumstances. Stuff like newspaper articles, books, magazines (mostly ones without the company or company people being interviewed and ones that aren't press releases) are the sources you need to show it is notable.

That's why it was rejected. I'll help a little with your draft, but I am a reviewer and am not obliged to help people write their drafts. Cheers. JC7V-talk 16:16, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
