Your submission at Articles for creation: Vermont SportsCar (December 15)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by S0091 was:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. 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:

Most of the sources used are either not reliable and/or not independent. Best advice is to only use mainstream media.

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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Vermont SportsCar and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 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: Vermont SportsCar (June 4)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Deb 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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Do you have an undeclared conflict of interest? Deb (talk) 14:25, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Deb, I do not -- I am a local car enthusiast in New England where Vermont SportsCar is based. I made all previous changes to make the sources neutral and outside of Vermont SportsCar, which had the majority of the information I was writing about.

I am confused by your statement that this post "reads more like an advertisement." I think it mirrors the language and tone of other Motorsports teams such as Team Penske. Vermont SportsCar is a major player in U.S. rallying and is entirely related to Subaru, which is also on Wikipedia. Can you please be more clear on what you want to be changed?

You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{permission pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.
