 * I'm not sure what ADMASQ means, based on a Google research, it seems to be an article with the sole intention of SPAM or SEO (?). I believe the article is giving correct, up-to-date and unique information. Information which nowhere to be found in the web, nor on Wikipedia, and it extends the already existing section on International Education.
 * If possible, let me know which part is considered ADMASQ so I can edit it, or possibly edit/remove it completely. But as it stands, with the information I have based on your review, it's not clear what you want me to do, @DoubleGrazing.
 * Cheers. Raphael.alejandro.arias (talk) 13:35, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes indeed, WP:ADMASQ is just that, it tries to look like an article but actually only exists for promotional purposes. Articles/drafts should be written by summarising what independent and reliable secondary sources (books, newspapers, magazines, TV and radio programmes, etc.) have said about a subject, and citing those sources as references. No promotional content or 'spin' is allowed, and no original research or synthesis. Your draft does not cite any sources at all in most of the content, and the few citations that there are, are mainly to commercial providers (and even then they are actually just external links, not referencing to support the draft contents). -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:33, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Makes sense. I can add more sources.
 * For this subject in specific it's rare to have a scientific research or books to link to, but there are a couple--of books00that may be useful.
 * Most of the current information available is in form of News, press releases and some business insights/data analytics company crunching the industry numbers and forecasts. Most of the resources are also heavily focused on international education itself, and the payments aspect is just a smaller section of the content.

 * Those sort of sources wouldn't be acceptable, unless it is reputable publishers writing about this topic, in significant detail and extent, and entirely of their own volition (not being 'sponsored' or fed content by any of the industry players). To be honest, I doubt that such sources can be found. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:45, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
 * If the bar is that high, only a couple of papers from OECD would actually qualify. And still, the focus would be on trade, and other aspects of international education.
 * Let me know if there's interest in the article and in what form, considering that there are lack of the type of source being required. As discussed, if pieces of news, articles, business analysis and forecasts, etc. are acceptable I'm happy to include them. Otherwise the draft can be deleted.

 * It just seems an awfully specific topic, like "mobility solutions for history teachers", and as such probably falls foul of WP:CROSSCAT. My advice would be to drop it and find something else to write about.
 * BTW, I noticed on your user page that you have declared a COI with regards to this subject. In broad terms, what is the nature of your COI? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:00, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
