Your submission at Articles for creation: Viabill (July 1)

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

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 organizations and companies). 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.

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:Viabill 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 Draft:Viabill, 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 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.

Hi Curb Safe Charmer. You're right. I just got caught up in seeing if they had a good costumer relationship rather than being cited by reliable sources for actually being credible since I was also doing some research to see if I personally would trust them. I guess you could say I mistakenly leaned too much to write the article seen from a consumer perspective rather than a neutral fact checker perspective. It was never my intention to be partial and this is my first article, so I'm glad you blocked it & gave me some pointers to work on. After having considered what you told me I've looked around to see if I could find fact checking credible sources as you recomended, but it turns out I sadly couldn't.

So yep I made a mistake and I wish I'd known about that before requesting the article be published, so can you please just go ahead and delete it for me, thx? I honestly didn't know how I should have approached it & as much as I'd like I just can't seem to find sources to help me rewrite the article in a good way. However with what you said in mind I did some more digging this morning and came across a paper from the California finance commissioner where a dispute was reported because it looks like they (Vviabill) weren't allowed to profit on discounts from retailers. According to that government paper they amicably settled the dispute out of court, but denies any wrongdoing. Since this paper is from the state of California would that count as a credible source?? 🤔

If you'd like to have a look at the 6-7 page long document here's a link to it:

I think the lack of credible third party sources may stem from them being such a small company & a relatively young company. Hopefully if proper sources comes along in a few year I'd be able to do this article right & truly from a neutral stand point. Either way at this moment in time I'm not gonna continue researching, so as said can you delete the article cuz I agree it's not good, but Thanks for the help Curb Safe Charmer as well as for the tips. I'll keep them in mind when & if I write another article. Have a good day:) Skywalker 1000 (talk) 08:53, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
