00:54:22, 28 March 2016 review of submission by Mhl081
Hello! I have created a page about a company in South Korea. I've created the page but it has been declined, and in the last "review," someone added the "Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Cafe24". I would like to make improvements so it's not deleted, but I really don't know how or where to start making the changes. Would anyone be so kind of lending me a hand, please? I would love some tips and advice on making improvements so my article would read less "unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person." Thanks a lot in advance for all your time and help! Please help me!!! :)

 * Stop submitting it repeatedly without adding references. Stop submitting copies of the draft to article space where they keep getting speedy-deleted.  Thank you for finally thinking to ask for help.  Robert McClenon (talk) 04:56, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

Help: Can someone take part and provide more reliable sources please?


 * Hi, I've added 10 sources you can use to improve the draft. I suggest you review Article development for guidance, particularly with respect to the lead. --Worldbruce (talk) 16:51, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

The draft was kicked back for being unsourced. In fact, the vast majority of the information comes from the professor's university faculty profile. This profile is linked as the very first source. I can repeat that link ad nauseum, if that is thought best, but thought it would be both clunky and distracting. Is there another way to do this? C.dodsonABDN (talk) 14:34, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
 * A university professor's faculty profile is not considered an independent reliable source because it is associated with him and his employer. Find sources that are not related to him, such as newspaper articles, that have written about him.  Robert McClenon (talk) 14:38, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Actually, Robert. it's not true that university faculty biographies are considered an unreliable source for academics. He clearly passes WP:PROF by holding a named chair at a major university. For professors, particularly ones who hold named chairs, it's not only adequate, it's probably the most reliable and suitable source for basic biographical facts. C.dodsonABDN, I'm going to leave you some tips on your talk page on how to get his article into shape. Voceditenore (talk) 17:24, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Hi . Have you read the information in the big yellowish box on your talk page, or the big pink box on Draft:Iski? If there's a particular point you don't understand we'll try to clear it up. Wikipedia only accepts articles about topics that the world at large has taken significant notice of, as evidenced by coverage in independent reliable sources. The draft references no such sources. Things that are new often aren't suitable subjects for an encyclopedia because they're too new to have attracted substantial attention. --Worldbruce (talk) 17:27, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
