Hello, Mary Bufe! I'm Wiae. I have replied to your question about a submission at the WikiProject Articles for Creation Help Desk. /wiae /tlk 21:18, 10 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Dan Shugar (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:Dan Shugar and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Writing for pay

See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure and conflict of interest policy. I believe you have failed to disclose payment in respect of the draft article you are working on. Guy (Help!) 22:58, 13 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. How/where do I do that? For the record, I am a working journalist and adjunct college professor who has been writing about technical subjects like this for 30+ years, and I was retained to use these skills in drafting some pages. But of course they are no good unless they are published, so I will take whatever advice and action is needed to achieve that goal.

Hello again, I unfortunately am going to have to decline again because you still would need to add all additional amounts of in-depth third-party news sources overall; please no press releases or trivial passing mentions.

Your draft article, Draft:Dan Shugar

Hello, Mary Bufe. It has been over six months since you last edited your Articles for Creation draft article submission, "Dan Shugar".

In accordance with our policy that Articles for Creation is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}} or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. —MRD2014 (talk) (contribs) 23:43, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: NEXTracker, Inc. (October 29)

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 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:

I'll note that not only is this still an advertisement, it was speedy deleted once before for the exact same things; therefore focusing with what the company would advertise about itself, such services and other company information is not how articles or notability work; focusing with actual in-depth third-party news will, and please no press releases, trivial passing mentions, interviews or mere news about funding, partnerships or financing as these will not help.

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:NEXTracker, Inc. 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:NEXTracker, Inc.

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:NEXTracker, Inc., requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
It is a rejected submission at Wikipedia:Articles for creation, and it has not been edited in over six months. (See section G13 of the criteria for speedy deletion.)

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. — O Fortuna^{semper crescis, aut decrescis} 08:21, 13 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Nextracker (August 30)

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

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:

Appreciate you declaring your COI. Note to future reviews, the {{coi (paid)}} template has been place on the talk page. However, claims about the company must be verified by WP:RS, especially fiscal claims. Infoboxes are not exempt from this requirement.

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:Nextracker and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Bobby Cohn (talk) 20:04, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bobby, Thank you for your feedback, and I understand the need for reliable sources. This article's sources include the Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, Wired and other business press, and a published book, in addition to solar industry press. I'm not sure I understand why those are not "reliable."

I would like to edit this to make it acceptable. Should I shorten it and use only the MOST well known publications? Any other suggestions?

Thank you.

Bobby, I resubmitted the Nextracker page with the sourcing for the financial information a couple of weeks ago. Can you let me know the status of the review? Mary Bufe (talk) 18:39, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Dan Shugar (September 3)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by SafariScribe 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 people). 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.

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:Dan Shugar and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
