Your submission at Articles for creation: Driven Project (August 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 Robertsky 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:Driven Project 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:Driven Project, 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.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Kevin Gordon (businessman) (August 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 Robert McClenon was:

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 people). 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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This draft, as written, does not appear to indicate that one of the biographical notability criteria is satisfied. If one of the criteria is satisfied, please revise this draft appropriately, with a reliable source, if necessary stating on the talk page or in AFC comments which criterion is met, and resubmit. It is the responsibility of the submitter to show that a subject satisfies a notability criterion.

You may ask for advice about the biographical notability criteria at the Teahouse.

In particular, see and refer to WP:GNG for notability, which is the guideline that the subject should be evaluated against.

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:Kevin Gordon (businessman) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Reviewers

Reviewers explain their reasons for declining a draft at the draft. They do not help with improvements. They do not reconsider. A resubmitted draft is usually taken up by a different reviewer. David notMD (talk) 03:08, 6 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Paid editing

Hello Writerday. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly, as you did for two articles, now draftified.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, 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:Writerday. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Writerday|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that here on your Talk page in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. David notMD (talk) 03:14, 6 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi David, I can understand why you feel this way but it is not the case. As much as I would like to be paid for this I just want to create articles for Canadian Entrepreneurs that have done a lot but aren't fully recognized for it as I am a student and want to put this in my resume moreso. This is my first article around this person and I am trying my best to follow the guidelines.Writerday (talk) 05:34, 6 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Understand that what I posted above is a standardized query used when new editors appear who are focused on creating an article about a business or person, especially when the initial act was to create an article in mainspace rather than a draft to submit to AfC. Your declaration here of not being paid and not having a COI such as a personal connection to the person or charity, is sufficient. That said, neither Gordon nor his charity may be sufficiently notable in the Wikipedia sense of the term to justify an article. See WP:TOOSOON. David notMD (talk) 12:36, 6 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
