09:04:30, 6 December 2022 review of submission by 62.159.14.27
In November 2021, one of my colleagues has created this draft page, and later submitted it to articles for creation. As it lacked reliable sources, it has been declined in March 2022; again in September 2022, the draft has been declined again, because it reads like an advertisement.

Do you see any chance to improve the article to make it acceptable? If it is too far away from Wikipedia standards, I would rather have it deleted. Is a third submission to articles for creation possible at all?

Please be aware that I work for Beckhoff Automation, trying to disclosure my conflict of interest as best as I can. Thanks for your help. 62.159.14.27 (talk) 09:04, 6 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Yes, you can submit a third time, in fact you can continue to resubmit as long as the draft hasn't been rejected. That's the theory, at least. In practice, given the COI/paid editing, if the draft isn't substantively improved, and remains poorly sourced and/or promotional, it will not get too many more chances before rejection.
 * The only way to get this accepted is to forget what you and your colleagues want to say about your employer, or what your boss tells you to write, and merely summarise what reliable and independent secondary sources have, in significant detail and extent and of their own volition (ie. excluding sponsored content, press releases, routine business reporting, interviews, and churnalism of various types), said about the business. If you cannot find such sources, then you cannot by definition establish notability per WP:ORGCRIT, and you cannot therefore have an article published. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:20, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

 * You don't ask a question, but your draft was rejected, meaning that it will not be considered further. The draft is a promotional piece for a young man who does not seem to meet the definition of a notable politician. Generally, a person must hold public office, or have won election to public office, to merit an article. 331dot (talk) 12:42, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
 * “writer and successful entrepreneur, with tons of potential and possibilities.” is sourced to your own website, Twitter and Amazon which all confers zero notability. Theroadislong (talk) 12:47, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

Request on 18:39:16, 6 December 2022 for assistance on AfC submission by Visokor
I wish to request some help on making this page on what is very much an obscure Hanna-Barbera production, but I think there's very few sources for it to find and the one that I did try, from Discogs, was deemed not reliable.

Visokor (talk) 18:39, 6 December 2022 (UTC)


 * @Visokor: if there aren't sufficient sources, then you cannot by definition have an article. Per WP:GNG, we only summarise what other, reliable and independent sources have said. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 18:42, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
 * @Visokor: If there's very few sources for it to find odds are it isn't notable as Wikipedia defines the term. Alternatively, it may be you're looking in the wrong places - I would imagine the bulk of sources on a 1989 DtVHS production would be in print media, and not online. —Jéské Couriano  v^&lowbar;^v  a little blue Bori 18:42, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
