Your submission at Articles for creation: Metairie Country Club (March 11)

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

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Metairie Country Club and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 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.

I am the club historian of Metairie Country Club and I have written numerous history summaries for the club. I understand if I need to start from scratch but my draft is no longer there. Did you delete it? I spend many hours formating and citing many sources. I'd like to have my draft back please. Philipgordillo (talk) 01:03, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft was deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement of https://www.metairiecc.org/careers/club-histor it is unlikely to be un-deleted. `Please address your conflict of interest on your user page too, Theroadislong (talk) 07:55, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I will ask again. Please return my draft so I can redo the text. The formatting of everything else including my references and citations took many hours. There is no conflict as I volunteer as a member of the club. I am not paid for what I do. Have you taken the time to read my sources? It's a historic club and we have sister clubs by the same architect with less research and sources on their pages. I will redo so the text but please do make me start everything from scratch as this is my first time contributing to Wikipedia. Philipgordillo (talk) 23:20, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You "volunteer as a member of the club" you have a VERY clear conflict of interest which you need to properly disclose. Copyright violations will not be undeleted. Theroadislong (talk) 23:28, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I will ask a third time. Please return my template without the paragraphs so I can redo the sections you are pointing out. Alternatively, you can send the whole thing back so I will delete the narrative and rewrite the history from scratch. I will add a "connected contributor" label to the page. Philipgordillo (talk) 11:07, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am not an admin so cannot un-delete your draft. Theroadislong (talk) 11:33, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Philipgordillo. 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 conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to 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 Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 15:56, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
