Your submission at Articles for creation: Kathy Joan Geary (February 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 Theroadislong 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 people). 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.

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 User:Kgeary007/sandbox/Kathy Joan Geary 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 User:Kgeary007/sandbox/Kathy Joan Geary, 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.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions; however, it appears you may have written a Wikipedia article about yourself, at User:Kgeary007/sandbox/Kathy Joan Geary. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – please see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to or change an existing article about yourself, you are welcome to propose the changes by visiting the article's talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was the page I created deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss this with the deleting administrator. Thank you.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Equine Info Exchange (March 24)

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

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.

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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Wikipedia has little to no interest in what a company has to say about itself.

EIE sandbox feedback.

Here is my feedback. You article can still use some work.

What is the daily number of hits to the website, or paid subscribers? Do you do any printed media? Annual Revenue? Number of employees?

It could seriously use some photos to liven it up. Do you have any award winning photos that you can add to Wikimedia? They have to be ones you are willing to enter in the public domain. Sadly, print media has one up on you here, as magazines have cover photos (which as advertising by default are in the public domain), and they do well as examples on wiki entries. Also, put the logo into the infobox. Do a detailed dive into the {infobox} template and try to fill out as many items available. Annual revenue and employee information goes into this infobox. Look at examples from other companies in your peer group to see how they do it. Also look at some fortune 500 business articles to see how they do it (are you in the fortune 1000? That also improves notability guidelines).

The bottom section, while extensive does not have one citation. Have any of these "sections" been reported in any other media? It looks like an ad. My advice to you is to drop this entire section for now, and add it later if the article makes the grade, but you will need citations for it. Clean out anything in the article that you put there just to "pump it up". Again, this is not a site for self promotion or advertising. You go to an encyclopedia to learn something - use your page to teach the world something about your company and why it belongs in an encyclopedia.

You need to make a serious effort to address those concerns on the deletion discussion pages. If this is your company, you are going to fight a HUGE uphill battle, as this is an encyclopedia, NOT a self promotion site. Articles are generally better accepted if someone OUTSIDE your company decides that an article is needed; this is the most basic concept of notability - does someone OTHER than you find your company notable enough to start an article? Writing an article about yourself is never EVER neutral in tone, and is also considered original research, which is no-no.

I'm having trouble myself with the notability, but you have done a pretty good job describing the extent of the companies reach. What makes you notable? Has your writing been nominated for a Peabody? Pulitzer? Have you won any competitions against any other online media sites? Awards by peer media groups? NOMINATIONS don't make you notable. WINS do. Lose the entry on nominations - you can add it back AFTER you win something to flesh out the article further. Also, you mention a LOT of people who do NOT have Wikipedia pages in their own right - these people are not notable, so quoting them seldom helps. Lose the part about Wallace matthews - if he's not notable enough to have a Wikipedia page, he's not worth including. The entire paragraph about publishing news feeds fails for this reason too, none of those outlets quoted have their own Wikipedia pages apparently - web aggregators are not notable as a rule. The paragraph on producing content is great because that can make you notable, but again those sites/magazines you quoted aren't notable unless they have Wikipedia entries. Think about all of the people and companies you want to quote; but are not notable in themselves enough to have their own Wikipedia entries - this should give you pause - if they can't get an article, why should you?

Finally, when you think you are ready to publish, go back to the deletion discussion page and send a direct message to the hardest and loudest of your critics and very politely ask THEM for feedback on your new draft. If you can get them on your side, then it's ready to publish. Timmccloud (talk)
