@Abdhasan85: Hello, Abdhasan. Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. Did you have a specific question? NewYorkActuary (talk) 21:45, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@NewYorkActuary: Hello, NewYorkActuary. Why is my article declined ? Abdhasan85 (talk)

@Abdhasan85: Hello again. The best source of information as to why your submission was declined will be the reviewer who looked at it. You can find that person's name and Talk page link in the "decline box" near the top of your submission. But I took a quick look myself and saw that I too would have declined it, and for the same reason -- you haven't demonstrated that your company has been discussed by anyone other than the company itself. The company's website, its LinkedIn profile, and its Twitter and Facebook pages -- none of this provides any evidence that the company has achieved encyclopedic notability. And until you do provide such evidence, it is unlikely that your draft will be accepted for publication. You can learn more about proper sourcing by reading WP:Reliable sources. One last point -- the correct way to sign your postings on Talk pages is to end it by typing four tildes (i.e., ~~~~) at the end of the post. There is a button at the bottom of the edit screen that, if clicked, will do this automatically. I hope this response has been helpful. NewYorkActuary (talk) 14:56, 3 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The jiu jitsu tournament circuit is fairly new. How do I get verifiable facts about this organisation outside of its own website? Enso12345 (talk) 20:12, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Enso12345: The way to try to find information is the same as with any other subject. A librarian may be able to suggest specific places to look. If you find little or no independent coverage of The Eternal Cup Series, that will tell you that it is not a suitable topic for an encyclopedia article. --Worldbruce (talk) 21:06, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Enso12345: Also be aware that if the subject is new, there simply may not yet be adequate WP:SECONDARY coverage of the subject and it would therefore be WP:TOOSOON to create a Wikipedia article on this subject. ~Kvng (talk) 23:26, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
