Draft:Pepperfry

 * – (View MfD)

This draft on a furniture company, which is largely sourced to routine announcements of funding and press releases, has been declined 3 times and rejected twice prior to my most recent rejection. The article has also been deleted 3 times in mainspace. It is clear that the paid editors working on this article are not willing to respect the AfC process, so I propose that the draft be deleted and salted. Spicy (talk) 21:05, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete and SALT in draft space, as per nominator, but this is a content forum, and resubmitting a draft after it has been rejected, rather than asking for advice, is a conduct issue. (It isn't undisclosed paid editing, at this point.  The editor, who is an employee, made the stupid claim that they are not a paid editor because they were not being paid piecework but salary, but now that they have declared their employment status, they are only a paid editor who won't play by the rules.)  This editor needs reporting to a conduct forum.  Robert McClenon (talk) 03:15, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete and WP:SALT to prevent more time-wasting. OhNo itsJamie Talk 13:59, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Refer the proponents to WP:CORP, WP:THREE and WP:DUD. These are independent of this looking like WP:SPA WP:COI WP:UPE attempts to promote a company, but this appearance means that AfC will be very reluctant to accept.
 * The company might be notable, but if the first THREE sources are non-dependent or promotional sources, then few reviewers will even look at the following list of many references. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 00:33, 9 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep: This draft was edited by me and I've tried to follow Wikipedia guidelines about WP:PAID and neutrality. I understand this draft has been rejected two times in the past but it's not true that I did not seek any advice on this. In fact, I reached out to every editor who'd reviewed the draft in an attempt to fix the issues. I also wrote to Sulfurboy on his talk page and here) asking for his input but he did not even bother to answer and closed the discussion. User Theroadislong, I did everything as he advised and even disclosed my employment status on my talk page but he simply refused to help me and his answer was "I choose what I want to edit and when, I choose to leave the review to another editor." That's not all, I even reached out to tea house.

I am new to this platform and not familiar with all of Wikipedia guidelines and still a learner. I don't intend to violate any Wikipedia rules and would like to apologize If I broke any rules.

I have been working on this draft for over a month now and have since made significant changes to the draft including edits that removed promotional content and non-reliable sources. I've also trimmed and toned down the article in a way that it meets Wikipedia standard. I think we should consider removing the problematic sources rather than deleting it. Pepperfry is one of the largest furniture retailers in India. it has been discussed in various leading publications. Vishalnagpal123 (talk) 16:55, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
