15:56:43, 5 February 2018 review of submission by Abi Roman at PromoVeritas
Abi Roman at PromoVeritas (talk) 15:56, 5 February 2018 (UTC) Hi, my company PROMOVERITAS is cited in other articles here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=promoveritas&title=Special:Search&go=Go&searchToken=2cy0234q1b4rzqi4zwcxwuh2a

But my article has been rejected - is it ok for me to link back to these?


 * Hi - The simple answer is no. There are many reasons why the article will be declined. However, first I'd like to ask what relationship you have to the company. You say it's yours? Are you the owner, or working on their behalf? If so, you do need to state your Conflict of interest before anything else.
 * Secondly, the article has zero reference. Without this, the article cannot be deemed against Wikipedia's notability criteria. A subject (Or company in this case) needs to have a meaningful articles written about them in independent, reliable publications/sources. Right now, you have none, so you will need to add these.
 * Third, you say that other Wikipedia articles mention the company (Two, to be exact). But you should never WP:Wikilink to a draft page in the main article space. If you were refering to these articles as potential references, then also no, as you cannot reference wikipedia.
 * I hope this helped, let me know if you need anything  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 16:06, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

Request on 18:38:04, 5 February 2018 for assistance on AfC submission by Mephiboshethsmaid
My proposed page was rejected. Reason: "This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified."

I thought that the sources I cited were reliable and verifiable. Can anyone help me out here?

 * Your sources were an advertisement, and various issues of the magazine itself. Both of those are self-published sources, notoriously unreliable and of course completely useless as far as establishing notability. If nobody else wrote about the magazine, then by definition it wasn't notable. -- Orange Mike &#124;  Talk  03:18, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
