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:

IMDb, as well as and any other sources published by the subject of this article, are not reliable source. Please ensure that secondary, independent, reliable sources are used, in order to demonstrate notability according to Wikipedia's notability guidelines.

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.

Hello Utopes,

Thanks, as I am definitely confused... I referenced several pages here:List of companies of Canada, for my exact template and even sought to include information I wasn't planning too, just so my article looked like these other ones.

I grew up in the town where I have previously edited the page of, Kelowna, and this article I wrote is a local business with a big, well known story... I've personally met the owners of the company on one occasion and heard them speak at another and, like many locals are familiar with their inspiring success story. It's a small town and a story the town is quite proud of locally... there aren't many mom and pop's that have gone nationwide from around here, it seemed like a great fit to add an article on. (I was originally going to write one on Kal Tire but it was already done --- same situation.)

I'm also not sure how to have added more reliable sources? Is there a reason IMDB and a business' own website are not considered reliable? That's where I obtained a lot of facts like the # of stores they have.

Thanks for you help --- I look forward to having these issues corrected (I'm just very confused as to how to do that with some of them) Gniroolf (talk) 16:10, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
