@Usama950: This is overdetailed and reads more like investor-fishing. What is your connexion to Yongu? —Jéské Couriano v^_^v ^{a little blue Bori} 09:19, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am an employee of the company and want to list company details on Wikipidia. I want to completely put it in a neutral point of view nor as an advertisement. Can you let me know which parts do you think that i can remove to get it approved. I have seen listing of products in wikipidia pages that's why i have done it. Can you give me specfics what needs to be changed. Usama950 (talk) 09:49, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Usama950: in that case, you must make a formal COI / paid editing disclosure, before you do anything else. (In fact, you should have made that before you even submitted this draft, but no use crying over spilled milk.)

As for the draft, it has been rejected, so there is little point in editing it further. If you were to write an entirely different draft on this company, you cannot use anything you've written, because it is all promotional and unencyclopaedic, not to mention unreferenced. This sort of material may be fine for the company's own website, but it certainly isn't fine for Wikipedia.

What should you then write, I hear you ask? You should summarise (in your own words) what reliable and independent secondary sources (newspapers, books, TV and radio programmes, etc.) have said about the company — of their own volition, not because the company has asked them to, or paid or otherwise incentivised them to, or issued them with copy-ready press materials.

If you cannot find such sources, then you can not have an article. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:18, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! This draft page submission was declined because the topic does not meet Wikipedia notability requirements. I have read those requirements and guidelines for page submissions. Can you please explain why the specific references used in this submission do not meet Wikipedia's notability requirements? This will help me when making future submissions and edits on Wikipedia. Thank you. Yames1776 (talk) 16:24, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yames1776 In looking at your sources, I see that

is an interview with the founder of the company, which is not an independent source.
describes a product produced by the company, with little coverage of the company itself
discusses a product produced by the company, and is largely based on an interview with its founder
is a product review of a product produced by the company, with little coverage of the company itself
is another interview with the founder of the company

None of these are independent reliable sources with significant coverage of the company itself, and/or they are based on materials from the company(interviews with the founder). Wikipedia summarizes what independent sources that have chosen on their own to write about the topic say about it. If you work for or are otherwise associated with the company, please read about conflict of interest and paid editing for information on required formal disclosures. 331dot (talk) 16:33, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It has been since last year since I posted and article, which was actually the first time. While that was successful, now a year later, I can't remember the process for downloading photos to be posted with article. I am writing a new article and I need that capability 18:32, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

Cholmes58 This page is to seek help with drafts, you should use the general Help Desk for questions about other topics. That said, the process for uploading images is described at WP:UPIMAGE. 331dot (talk) 18:35, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
