Wikipedia has several articles that make reference to a Chartered Financial Consultant (e.g. The American College, Financial Adviser, Financial Planner) but there is no article on the topic. It' a widely recognized designation in the financial services industry. If the article is declined again, please provide specific reasons why you believe it sounds like an "advertisement." This is in fact not an advertisement, and I'm having difficulty seeing where/how that notion is coming across.

Chartered Financial Consultant
Hello, I am sorry if I already posted this - I am brand new here. I'm writing an article on the Chartered Financial Consultant, a widely recognized designation in the financial services industry. I noticed several Wikipedia pages make reference to it ("Financial Adviser," "Financial Planner," "The American College"), but there is no Wikipedia article on the topic. My submission was rejected b/c it "sounds like an advertisement." I resubmitted it just now and have included a wider range of references. I hope this corrects the issue, as this is not an advertisement and I'm having difficulty seeing where/how this is being perceived as such. If it is still not acceptable, could you please be more specific as to how it sounds like an advertisement? Thanks.

 * The version i originally declined pretty much read as an advertisement, with an altogether positive bias regarding the subject of the article. For example, take the following line:
 * "The program is now the most extensive educational program required for any financial services credential and has become a highly coveted distinction among financial advisors wishing to provided comprehensive, advanced planning solutions for their clients "


 * Marked in bold are the most promotional parts of the line. The first two sections are Peacock Terms, which means that they add nothing to the line except a positive bias towards the subject. In its entirety, the line could more or less be translated to "If your a financial service professional, you should get this certiffication as it is the best there is. Without it, you can't deliver the best possible level of service to your customers". While this line definitely standards out in its Non-neutralness there are other instances in this version that suffer from the same issue. I see that the revised version is a lot better though.


 * Another issue i see on the page, is that the added sourced won't classify as reliable for most part. As WP:42 states: Articles require significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.". The added links are a combination of the organization governing the qualification, and institutions that offer the qualification itself (Most times writing glowing testimonies as to why people should follow it). As of such these links fail the "Independent" part of the reliable sources policy. In order to meet the RS criteria, other sources should be found to at least complement the current selection. Examples of reliable sources would be any mentions in sufficiently large newspapers (Substantiation mentions, not advertisements) such as the New York Times, any sufficiently large profession related literature or major websites.


 * Finally, i would note that the page is not up for review at this time. To do this, click the "Here" link in the declined template (When the submission is ready to be re-submitted, click here and press the Save page button to request a new review) and save the page. This will add a new review request to the button om the page, submitting the page for review alongside it.  Excirial ( Contact me, Contribs ) 18:18, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
