Your submission at Articles for creation: Stefan Günther Tweraser (January 12)

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

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of people and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

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:Stefan Günther Tweraser and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.

SwisterTwister talk 05:25, 12 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much for your time and the feedback SwisterTwister I have gone over some more press etc., and have added quite a few more sources. As you may have guessed already, much of what there is written about Mr. Tweraser is form Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. Doing my best. I will re-submit here in a few minutes, after I add this link for his photo with the CC license etc. Not exactly sure how to do that even :) I do so appreciate all the help the great community here is giving. Thank you again. Philbutler (talk) 09:40, 12 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Philbutler/sandbox

A tag has been placed on Philbutler/sandbox requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from the article namespace to a different namespace except the Category, Template, Wikipedia, Help, or Portal namespaces.

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 removed 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.

Your submission at Articles for creation: SnapShot, GmbH (June 14)

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

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

You need to remove "advertorial" type references - interviews with principles, and articles based on press releases. Also, do not double-up references (e.g. Googler as CEO) - pick one reference only. The article must be built from information found in third-party sources (newspapers, magazines) that are independent of the subject of the article. Those sources must be referenced in-line with the text they support. No un-referenced material is allowed.

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:SnapShot, GmbH and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Hello! Philbutler, I noticed your article was declined at Articles for Creation, and that can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! LaMona (talk) 23:58, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your Userpage

Hello. Your Teahouse post drew my attention to your userpage. Although it has been like that since 2016, I need to point out that it breaches our policy on what it may contain. Written in the third person, it currently reads like an encyclopaedia entry about you, which is not allowed. I simply suggest you rewrite the first paragraph in the 1st person, removing the family and kids sentence, and delete the second paragraph completely. That should suffice for you to tell us who you are, and why you're here to edit Wikipedia.

If a friend has asked you to write about a company, there is a not unreasonable assumption that they and you may well have a Conflict of Interest, which you need to declare on your userpage. See that link for details.

I think a small company logo can be uploaded directly to Wikipedia (but not to Wikimedia Commons) under a 'fair use' policy. But that does not apply to draft articles, like the one in your sandbox. An image/logo makes no difference to whether a company meets our notability criteria (see WP:NCORP, so it's best to wait until it is in mainspace. (BTW: your sandbox draft is very promotional in tone, somewhat overdetailed, and not yet very well referenced. Hope this helps. Nick Moyes (talk) 09:40, 28 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nick Moyes Thanks very much for you help. Sorry I saw this a bit late. I shall do as you suggest. You can tell, my experience level is novice. I hope to do better in the future. Philbutler (talk) 09:14, 8 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Shiji Group (March 11)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by CNMall41 were:

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.

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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

References are general announcements, most of which are funding from Alibaba. Some are reprinted press releases (e.g., Business Insider) and others written by contributors and not staff writers (e.g., Forbes). We also tend to stay away from controversy sections if they can be part of the history of the company. Also don't need a play by play of what happened, just a summary.

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:Shiji Group 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:Shiji Group, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" 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, 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: Shiji Group (December 20)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Slywriter 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 reads more like an essay than an encyclopedia article. Submissions should summarise information in secondary, reliable sources and not contain opinions or original research. Please write about the topic from a neutral point of view in an encyclopedic manner.

The comment the reviewer left was:

still not seeing coverage in independent reliable sources and article is way too long on insignificant information
