Submission declined for article on Made.com(Retailer)
Dear Excirial,

Thanks for reviewing my submission. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Made.com_(retailer)

Your review said it appears to be more of an advertisement, article being not set up in an encyclopedic format and also questions the subject’s notability. I have improved the article including few changes to source references.

I would further like to mention that the references provided are from notable and reliable news sources like BBC, Guardian, Techcrunch etc and the awards mentioned have been reported in publications like telegraph and goodwebguide.com.

Please reconsider accepting my submission.

Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JulesMajor (talk • contribs) 09:38, 13 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Hiyas there Jules,


 * Just a very quick note to start with (not that this truly matters, but i figured i'd best mention it) - the advertising decline was mine, the notability decline was done by another editor, avs5221


 * Looking at the article itself i would say that the sources themselves are quite decent, at the very least the publishers are considered reliable, and the coverage of made.com is more then a single line. Still, the promotional concern remains. For example, these lines:
 *  It also asserts to find skilled craftsmen to build its furniture; the experienced workers are often the same people who create products for the UK’s famous high street brand (Advertising, "Buy made.com, even celebrities use the same designers")
 * The company claims to provide high quality, made to order furniture at low prices by grouping together orders of the same item and producing items every seven days (Advertising. The company might claim it, but its still a promotion for themselves")
 * Made.com now connects over 100,000 customers directly with prominent British designers including Steuart Padwick, John Stefanidis [6] as well as many other leading design partners. (Same as the first line - "Buy made.com, made by the cream of the crop designers")
 * While these lines may be sourced, their content is still promotional, and as of such non neutral.


 * As with all the article's detailing companies i recommend modeling it after a GA qualified article, since these have been checked for quality of writing, references et cetera. my favorite examples are Pearson's Candy Company and Pike Place Fish Market, because they are well written decently referenced, while also being quite short (thus reading them doesn't take ages)


 * Hope this helps, and with kind regards, Excirial ( Contact me, Contribs ) 17:50, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
