Your submission at Articles for creation: Swedroe Architecture (January 7)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Robert McClenon were:

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 organizations and companies). 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.

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This draft is written from the viewpoint of the company, focusing on what the company says about itself. Corporate notability is based on what independent reliable sources have written about the subject.

Not every business corporation is notable, and this draft does not establish corporate notability. You may ask for advice about corporate notability at the Teahouse.

This draft has no references. Notability cannot be established without references.

Do not resubmit this draft without references. You can ask for advice about references at the Teahouse.

Does the author of this draft have any sort of financial or other connection with the subject of this draft? Please read the conflict of interest policy and the paid editing policy and make any required declarations.

You may ask for advice about conflict of interest at the Teahouse.

If this draft is resubmitted without addressing the question about conflict of interest, it may be Rejected or nominated for deletion.

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:Swedroe Architecture 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:Swedroe Architecture, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" 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, 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.

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, SliStudios. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Draft:Swedroe Architecture, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. GPL93 (talk) 19:40, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Swedroe Architecture

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Draft:Swedroe Architecture, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

January 2020

There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group or a web site, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing. Additionally, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In that reason, you must:

Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block. To do so, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page, replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason for thinking that the block was an error, and publish the page. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 17:01, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

SliStudios (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Updated Draft which was apparently overlooked (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:SliStudios/sandbox) –– 1. I noted the COI as required. 2. The entire page is modeled to look and read just like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oppenheim_Architecture. 3. The page was written unbiased and factual based on EXISTING citations and references. Please to better to explain why a page written to mimic an existing/approved Wiki page is being blocked. 4. I asked for someone else to take-over and to provide suggestions on how to better write the page; why not help rather than be so quick to eliminate information on a company that has been around for 46 years!?

Decline reason:

Your disclosure on your user page would suggest that this account is in violation of our policy against shared accounts (see WP:NOSHARING). That alone is a justification for blocking your account. Please follow the instructions in the second paragraph of the block notification to request a different username and make a proper appeal. The reason for not accepting the submitted article is unrelated; it falls short of Wikipedia's notability guideline for companies and organizations. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 22:29, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

AfC notification: Draft:Swedroe Architecture has a new comment

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Swedroe Architecture. Thanks! -- Deep fried okra 22:13, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sources and other things

The Draft had none. I see you sourced the sandbox. Alas, it too is highly promotional in tone. We will see how things go from here. I will leave both for review by a different admin. Please read and heed WP:COI and WP:PAID. You also need a user name that complies with WP:user name. I would be happy to rename you if you ping me by placing {{ping|Deepfriedokra}} in your request and sign with 4 ~'s. Thanks, -- Deep fried okra 22:22, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Apology

My apologies to everyone involved in this mess. I have 'jumped-the-gun' with my submission and did not mean to ruffle any feathers.

I will not attempt to publish any further articles, but I do have questions which should help me better understand this communicative arena:

How can informative articles be written about a subject if the author does not have first-hand information about that subject?
Who decides when a person or company obtains 'Notoriety'?

@Deepfriedokra:, if you could be so inclined, please change my username to FluffKidsinFlorida (if that is acceptable)

@Robert McClenon:, I'll be sure to check-out the Teahouse; even if I no longer write, at least I can learn more about the Wikipedia ecosystem. Thank you.
