Your submission at Articles for creation: Table Rock Tea Company (October 18)

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

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Table Rock Tea Company and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Table Rock Tea Company

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Draft:Table Rock Tea Company, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Please read

finding independent verifiable sources. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the company, press releases, YouTube, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the company claims or interviewing its management. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls
Notability guidelines. To show notability you need hard verifiable facts such as the number of employees, turnover or profits
Promotion. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic.
there shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections. That's particularly the case when they are spamlinks to affiliated sites.
The fact that other articles have not been deleted doesn't help you, either they met the criteria or should be deleted as well. See other stuff exists.
I am not sure why you declined our entry... We have kept... we are cited—If you have a conflict of interest when editing this article, you must declare it. In particular, if you work directly or indirectly for the organisation, or otherwise are acting on its behalf, you are very strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. If you are paid directly or indirectly by the organisation you are writing about, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Thelorches. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Thelorches|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. Note that editing with a COI is discouraged, but permitted as long as it is declared. Concealing a COI can lead to a block. Please do not edit further until you respond to this message.

Before attempting to write any article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read this very important guidance. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:57, 19 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Pinging SwisterTwister, Whispering for info. Jimfbleak - talk to me?

And I've just realised that your user name is the same as that of the owners of the company. Please don't write about your company, there couldn't be a clearer conflict of interest that promoting your own company here, we are not a free advertising service. If you genuinely want to contribute here, rather than try to sell your products, write about something else. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 07:31, 19 October 2017 (UTC)]] 07:10, 19 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
