Your submission at Articles for creation: Zero Petroleum (April 5)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Numberguy6 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:Zero Petroleum 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:Zero Petroleum, 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 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,

Thank you for taking the time to review the Zero Petroleum article. I have read the feedback and hope you can take the time to read my further thoughts and provide some advice on how we can work together to amend this to suit requirements.

This is, of course, a page for a business but I do not feel it is advertising in any way more than Shell, Cadburys or any other company is advertising. As an example, this is a list of solar power companies present on Wikipedia Category:Solar energy companies. Many of these have far fewer credible sources than I have put in this article. Please can you explain how these companies' pages do not classify as advertising and the Zero Petroleum page does?

Zero Petroleum is one of the leaders in developing innovative technology for net zero, and its presence on wikipedia would provide a valuable source of information. Its work has been spoken about extensively in major global media, and those citations have been made in the article. As such, I welcome your advice on what changes can be made or what more that can be done to achieve this company's rightful mention on Wikipedia in a neutral manner.

Many thanks,

I read your draft and it looked OK to me. With regards to what you say here, please read WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. In short, the existence of other articles on Wikipedia and their problems does not justify the existence and problems of another article, like your draft.

Thank you for feeding back. If the draft looked OK, how do I go about getting it accepted to be published? Thank you for the 'otherstuffexists' link - that is understood. However, on the basis of the article being credible in its own right, how can I get it approved to be published? Thank you. WDMGray (talk) 12:42, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
