Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by LJF2019 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. 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 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.

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:A Celtic Family Christmas (TV Show) (2018) 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:A Celtic Family Christmas (TV Show) (2018), 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.

Hello RLD360. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:RLD360. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=RLD360|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. 331dot (talk) 20:15, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there and thank you for all of the above as its both informative and makes sense. Im just looking into why the company page was removed. I work for marblemedia so just trying to figure out why it's gone. I don't know how to use this platform at all but i do want to learn. Truly don't have any ill intentions here, we just looked it up one day and the page was gone. All of the article about our programming is still up which is great and we haven't done any of that, the wiki community has, which we are very thankful for. Any other advice direction would be greatly appreciated. RLD360 (talk) 20:27, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The vast majority of businesses do not merit Wikipedia articles. Please review the discussion that was pointed out to you, as well as the definition of a notable organization. 331dot (talk) 20:56, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the article, i'll review it detail. At a quick glance of everything provided it looks like we didn't have the correct independent coverage used as reference material amongst other things. Based on the archiving I've been doing leading up to this conversation i have found an abundance of independent articles that fall in the approved category of source material, that are not press releases or paid publication. (which seemed to be part of the problem). Is there any way to reinstate the page and then edit it to be compliant with wiki standards? I know of course that even doing that will still require review by the community. Thanks again for your patience as I'm still learning. :) RLD360 (talk) 21:17, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You may make a request at WP:REFUND to be given access to the text(probably via email) so you can create a new draft and submit it via WP:AFC. Your best bet is probably to start over. However, to have any chance at success, you will need to specifically address the concerns of the deletion discussion, summarizing what the independent reliable sources choose on their own to say about the company and what makes it important/significant/influential as a company(not what the company sees as important about itself. The following sources aren't acceptable for this purpose

• interviews with staff
• press releases
• brief mentions
• announcements of the routine activities of the company

This is going to be a lot harder than you probably think, as company representatives are usually too close to their companies to be able to write as Wikipedia requires. You need to set aside everything you know about the company and only summarize the sources. 331dot (talk) 22:27, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Seems like sound realistic advice. I appreciate you taking the time to show me the paths available. RLD360 (talk) 00:55, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
