Your submission at Articles for creation: Self-cleaning litter box (September 7)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by OhHaiMark were:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

This appears to be a duplicate of another submission, Litter box, which is also waiting to be reviewed. To save time we will consider the other submission and not this one.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

The comment the reviewer left was:

A lot of contestable and biased statements are unreferenced. Features, benefits and drawbacks sections are not particularly encyclopedic, and read as advertising for self-cleaning litterboxes. Please ensure that sources are secondary, independent, and reliable.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Self-cleaning litter box (September 12)

Your recent article submission has been rejected and cannot be resubmitted. If you have further questions, you can ask at the Articles for creation help desk or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help. The reason left by OlifanofmrTennant was: This topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia. The comment the reviewer left was: non notable topic. Reads like an advertisement.

Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 15:43, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This topic should be "sufficiently notable for inclusion".

As per Wikipedia's notability guidelines, the subject needs to have significant coverage - which is the case here as many articles on the web talk about self-cleaning litter boxes as an evolution to the classic litter box. As a matter of fact, it is estimated that there are almost 50k searches for that term per month.

The subject also needs to have enough reliable, secondary sources. Included here were newspaper extracts (not always positive on the topic either), as well as many others from independent publishers.

If the page "Litter-Robot", already on Wikipedia, was deemed notable enough for inclusion here, why not the entire category of products that they serve? ClemSvnt (talk) 17:52, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@ClemSvnt I think there could be an article here but you've written about it the wrong way. Qcne (talk) 20:19, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Then it should be rejected because it "reads like an advertisement", not because it it "not sufficiently notable for inclusion" which makes me unable to rewrite and resubmit ClemSvnt (talk) 13:00, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would also like more information on which parts sound too much like an advertisement. This would help me give it the right direction. ClemSvnt (talk) 13:01, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@ClemSvnt the general vibe of the entire draft is that it is written like an advert whose sole purpose seems to be to promote the three brands mentioned in it.

Instead what you should be doing is find some reliable, secondary, independent sources that are not connected in any way to any litter box brands, then paraphrase them into a draft. Qcne (talk) 09:20, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
