Declining your article
[edit]Hi, I am replying to your request for feedback on why your article was declined. I appreciate that having an article declined can be disappointing. But it's important to understand what Wikipedia is, and what it isn't. It is not a business directory, or a trade gazette, or a travel guide, nor is it a website designed to promote an individual enterprise, or the economy of a town or district. It is an online encyclopedia. As such, articles we accept need to have Notability. We define this as "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". This means that a range of sources, newspapers, websites, books etc., have written about the subject of the article because of its significance. In this case, you only had one source, and that just recorded a few basic facts about the business. And, being frank, you won't find more sources as the business doesn't operate on a scale, or in a market, that is likely to attract such coverage. And that's the reason the draft wasn't accepted. I understand that the decision taken will still be disappointing, but I hope that giving a fuller explanation for it has been of some help. Regards. KJP1 (talk) 22:23, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
