Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (March 6)

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

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a dictionary. We cannot accept articles that are little more than definitions of words or abbreviations as entries. A good article should begin with a good definition, but expand on the subject. You might try creating a definition for this instead at Wiktionary, which is a dictionary. Please only do so if it meets that sister project's criteria for inclusion. These require among others, attestation for the word or phrase, as verified through clear widespread use, or its use in permanently recorded media, conveying meaning, in at least three independent instances spanning at least a year.

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:Moss Winston/sandbox 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:Moss Winston/sandbox, 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.

Soulforce promotion

Moss: I've seen your recent edits on Soulforce, and it seems to me that you're coming with a lot of enthusiasm and support for that organization - and understandably so. The material that you're adding might make a fine promotional brochure for Soulforce. However, what makes a good promotional brochure is not what makes a good encyclopedia entry. As you'll see in some of the links provided in the Welcome message you received above, what makes a good Wikipedia article is us covering what reliable, third-party sources (i.e., not Soulforce themself, which would be a first-party source) are saying about the subject, as shown from a neutral point of view. Things like calling Soulforce a "mighty organization" and what they oppose "bad theology", while they may well be true, are nonetheless not neutral. The things you added might make good content for the group's own webpage, and I encourage you to spread your views of them; Wikipedia just isn't the place for that. As such, I've undone your edits. If you think my reversions were in error, you can, of course, raise the matter in discussion at Talk:Soulforce, and if you can build a consensus for your additions, they can occur.

If you have any questions, let me know! --Nat Gertler (talk) 20:09, 6 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Christian supremacy

The article Christian supremacy has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Article does not appear to be of a notable topic and is not written from a NPOV.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
