just trying to find out what I can do to get this first version published as is so that I can have more motivation to work on it more and on other articles.

@Emmaisa123: You didn't ask a question. The draft was rejected because you didn't include any references at all. You need to provide references that establish notability. See our General Notability Guideline. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 02:56, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings

I would like to know why this topic has not been accepted. It is a growing business, and I do not have any relations to it. I am writing about it to spread awareness of their Sustainable Investing methods which would benefit the community.


Kind Regards Rohan Lakhiani

WikiEditorNumber9 The draft was rejected, meaning it will not be considered further. It was rejected because this company does not seem to meet Wikipedia's special definition of a notable company, as shown with significant coverage in independent reliable sources. "Growing" and "startup" are usually tipoffs that a company does not yet merit a Wikipedia article. Spreading awareness is a form of promotion and not permitted on Wikipedia. 331dot (talk) 12:49, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I would be curious to know how you came to write about this company if you have no connection to it, as it is the only topic you have edited about. 331dot (talk) 12:50, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]


Time it will take for another review? It says 3 months but I believe it has been close to that.

CCWriter2236 (talk) 22:37, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi CCWriter2236. It will take however long it takes. At this level of backlog, the categories are fairly coarse. I believe the 3 month bucket really means more than 3 months but less than 4 months. The draft waiting longest has been in the pool since 29 August. Yours has been in the pool since 29 September. That suggests you have another month to wait. If you're interested in improving the encyclopedia, there are many things you can do to help in the meantime. See the Wikipedia:Task Center. --Worldbruce (talk) 23:42, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What do I have to do in order to have Wikipedia allow my site to be referenced on its website. I built this website myself and am wondering why I can't have an article on Wikipedia about my personal web project called www.thecentralbanks.com.

Thesireofplebs Wikipedia is not interested in what you want to say about your own website. Wikipedia summarizes what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about a website, showing how it meets Wikipedia's special definition of a notable website. If no one has chosen on their own to write about your website, it would not merit a Wikipedia article at this time. Please also review conflict of interest and promotion. 331dot (talk) 22:46, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) @Thesireofplebs: Wait until it meets either the criteria out lined in WP:Notability or the criteria in WP:Notability (web), then wait for someone else to create a Wikipedia page on their own, without any help, input, prodding, or "suggestion" from you that it might be a good idea to do so. Or, alternatively, wait until your web site meets one of the "notability" criteria, read and follow the directions in WP:Conflict of interest and WP:Paid-contribution disclosure, draft and article in as neutral a tone as possible and cite reliable, independent sources to show that your web site has received "significant coverage." Press releases and coverage based on what you say don't "count" when reviewers assess a topic's notability.
In short, if your web site becomes the next Google, someone will create a page about it eventually. If not, oh well. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 🎄 22:49, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
