Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Ron Foth Advertising (January 20)

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

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.

Conflict of Interest? Paid Editing

Hello, Smallmegan. 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 COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, please:

avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your circle, your organization, its competitors, projects or products;
instead propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you.

Your pattern of editing meets that for paid editors. If you are not a paid editor and do not have a conflict of interest, you can ignore this. However, if you are an undeclared paid editor, your account can be blocked. LaMona (talk) 16:15, 21 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Ron Foth Advertising (January 27)

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

As other reviewers have pointed out, this reads more like an ad than an encyclopedia. The awards this agency has received are likely enough for it meet notability guidelines, however this isnt an encyclopedia article, its a couple of sentences plus a list of awards. Please write an article about the agency, tell the reader what it is all about (from reliable sources which focus on the agency, not just mention it in passing such as reporting on an award).

Your submission at Articles for creation: Ron Foth Advertising (February 12)

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

this still doesn't say much about the company. The list of projects doesn't say whether those projects were unusual, important, successful, unsuccessful. A list is just a list. For example, the article about Santa Monica says: "The 40-year-old Columbus agency is well-versed in the tourism industry, having done work for the Columbus Zoo and Zoombezi Bay, the Lake Erie region, MGM Resorts and Casinos and others. It's also been the agency of record since 2011 for the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park. Foth's "Santa Monica Soul” campaign will involve a new logo, identity system, website and more as part of a brand overhaul" You can't quote or copy that, but this gives you the permission to say that they have done considerable work in the tourism industry, and that they were hired to re-brand the city of Santa Monica. The Mervyns one says "The centerpiece of the campaign is a 30-second spot from Ron Foth Advertising, Columbus, Ohio, that features new Frosty animation and Mervyn's representative Wendy Braun." From that you can say that they do television spots, include the animated Frosty spot for Mervyns. That's more interesting than a list, right?

Disclosure

Hello, thanks for joining Wikipedia! I notice that a lot of your edits are on the topics of Ron Foth Advertising, and I wonder if you have some connection with them. This isn't necessarily a problem, but if you do you should file disclosure explaining any conflict of interest to ensure transparency. That's a link on how to do it and here's an example of what a disclosure looks like - but let me know if you have any kind of questions about this. Blythwood (talk) 22:05, 4 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

September 2016

Speedy deletion nomination of Ron Foth Advertising

Hello Smallmegan,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Ron Foth Advertising for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Blythwood (talk) 20:48, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
