Dress2kill moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Dress2kill, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Thank you for your comments. I just wondered if you could provide any more guidance on this please? I have cited 30 references which I believed to be reliable sources. Are there any that stand out as being not credible? Or any statements specifically that do not appear to be backed up? Many thanks.

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Lucywrites. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Draft:Dress2kill, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Sulfurboy (talk) 16:51, 26 March 2020 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your comments. I'm aware of the company as my family member once bought a suit from them. I'm not a customer myself.Lucywrites (talk) 17:32, 26 March 2020 (UTC)

Very few people decide to write Wikipedia pages after a family member told them about a company they purchased from. While I want to WP:AGF, it still seems like there is a conflict of interest that isn't being disclosed. There is nothing wrong with having a conflict of interest but editors, such as myself, who review these drafts on a daily basis need to be made aware so that we can ensure the neutrality of the draft. --CNMall41 (talk) 20:42, 27 March 2020 (UTC)

Ok, well to explain it more, I'm from London originally and have an interest in retail/fashion. I'm keen to see local businesses represented on Wikipedia so I did some research and thought the history of this company was worthy of a page, especially as many other similar bespoke London suitmakers are on here. I've made edits to make it as neutral as possible so I hope the page may be approved. Thanks! Lucywrites (talk) 20:56, 27 March 2020 (UTC)

So if you were told that the topic doesn't meet guidelines and cannot be created in Wikipedia, what would be your response?--CNMall41 (talk) 04:44, 30 March 2020 (UTC)

My response would be to accept it obviously but I would also want to know why it doesn't meet the guidelines, so I can improve in future. I'm new to Wikipedia and trying to educate myself as much as I can, but it can certainly be confusing! Lucywrites (talk) 11:50, 30 March 2020 (UTC)

A non-automated comment

Hi Lucy! Just wanted to say something non-automated. I accepted your draft on the following grounds:

Some sources do not contain substantial coverage of Dress2kill (e.g. the Fashion Practice study) and some are not reliable (e.g. Yell). However, there is non-trivial secondary coverage in Drapers, MoneyWeek, The Times, Financial Times and Campaign. I have suspicions that a couple of the articles may have been paid for by the company, but Hibbert and the deal with Virgin Atlantic have received secondary coverage. I believe this article has at least a 50% chance of surviving a deletion discussion, which is our threshold for accepting a draft.

I've made an edit tidying up the article a little—section headings should be short and infrequent, punctuation goes before references, and titles of newspapers go in italics. If you have any questions, please do feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks! — Bilorv (talk) 12:18, 30 March 2020 (UTC)

Hi, thank you for explaining that some more! That's really useful to know, I'll get in touch with any questions on your Talk page. Many thanksLucywrites (talk) 12:39, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
