Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/ZYPPAH

Hi Excirial,

I resubmitted an article on ZYPPAH, a new hybrid oral appliance used for the treatment of sleep apnea and snoring. I changed the article to read less like an advertisement and I have credible sources.

Can you explain why it was rejected again? Thanks.

There are multiple issues with the page in question. Above anything else the page is a clear advertisement for the ZYPPAH medicine brand; While the first section is at least tolerable from a promotional stance, the article then starts a description as to how Sleep Apnea is related to cancer, heart disease, diabetes and stroke. The section end on the note that "People who have used the ZYPPAH have reported that they and their partners slept better and felt more rested with the nightly use of the appliance. Patients with health issues reported vast improvements in many areas." (Promotional). After that, there is a pricelist and some links where you can get more information regarding the product. Whether intentional or not: The article's structure seems to be akin to Fear mongering, where someone is first presented an entire list of deadly diseases caused by something, followed by a product that cures the something.

Additionally, there is no indication that the product itself is notable for encyclopedic inclusion. To be on Wikipedia an article must pass the general notability guideline, and provide reliable sources (See also WP:42) that support its claim to notability. The sources you added are definitely good sources, but NOT to prove that zyppah is notable. Instead every source covers the topic on whether or not sleep apnea or harmful. Were the article's subject "Heath risks and sleep apnea" they would definitely qualify as good reliable sources; Instead the article is about Zyppah, and both that word and the name of the inventor (Greenhorn) are entirely absent in these article's. Ergo, the sources are not discussing the subject of the article and are therefor not related to the subject of the article. Excirial ^{(Contact me,Contribs)} 18:50, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
