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

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 brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of 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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Your submission at Articles for creation: Reveald, Inc. (January 31)

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 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:

just blatant advertising from the marketing department.

see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Computer_security_software_companies which I used as inspiration - can you give this (non-marketing person) more context as to why you consider this "blatant advertising" ? Rockpool (talk) 15:39, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

because it just tells us what the company does, whereas it should report on what independent reliable sources hace chosen on their own to discuss. Theroadislong (talk) 16:15, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That seems to be true of other small company entries though? for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AlgoSec and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IViz_Security as examples (and I know that the existence of a similar article is not necessarily a measure of appropriateness). The foundation of an article on a company surely has to start with a summary of what they do, of which the only source would be the company themselves (and thus not worthy of a reference). Rockpool (talk) 17:02, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Correct see other poor quality articles eixst. Your lede has one sentence about what they do (fair enough) but then goes on to say "which helps corporate entities reduce business risk by prioritizing exposure management following Continuous Threat Exposure (CTEM) methodologies, as well as providing services to operationalize CTEM, Endpoint Defense Management (EDM), and security event operations." which is totally inappropriate marketing.

This is starting to get very close to rejection. Once more: we need to see independent and reliable secondary sources with significant coverage of the company itself. And we need to see at least three of them. Currently there are none cited.

I saw - and I would politely suggest you are incorrect in your assertion that "Three of the sources do not even mention the topic" [1] is specifically about Digitalware - the prior name of the company the article is about [2] is specifically about the launch of Epiphany Systems, which was merged with Digitalware to form the company the article is about [3] is related specifically to Epiphany Systems, again a company which was merged to form the company in question. [4] is a complete mention of the fact that is being sited (the notable award). My intent is not to waste anyones time, it's to contribute to the Wikipedia coverage and completeness of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Computer_security_companies Rockpool (talk) 18:26, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
