Your submission at Articles for creation: F.H. Furr Plumbing, Heating, Air Conditioning & Electrical (January 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 Robert McClenon 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 submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This draft is written from the viewpoint of the company, focusing on what the company says about itself. Corporate notability is based on what independent reliable sources have written about the company.

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 when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:F.H. Furr Plumbing, Heating, Air Conditioning & Electrical and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:F.H. Furr Plumbing, Heating, Air Conditioning & Electrical, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:F.H. Furr Plumbing, Heating, Air Conditioning & Electrical

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Draft:F.H. Furr Plumbing, Heating, Air Conditioning & Electrical, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
It appears to be a clear copyright infringement of https://careers.fhfurr.com/about-us/. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. However, even if you use one of these processes to release copyrighted material to Wikipedia, it still needs to comply with the other policies and guidelines to be eligible for inclusion. If you would like any assistance with this, you can ask a question at the help desk.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Requested username:

AmyLWriter (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

I'd like to retry writing my page with adjustments so that it meets required guidelines

Decline reason:

No, no chance. You've been accused of violating WP:COI, WP:PAID, WP:PROMO, and WP:SOCK. You need to address all of these violations. And look, there's no chance you'll be unblocked to write about F.H. Furr Plumbing, or anything else for which you have a conflict of interest. This is an encyclopedia, not a business directory.

Request reason:

I'm new to Wikipedia, so I apologize for any violations. I will say that this was not meant to be a business directory post. F.H. Furr is well known in the community and in today's culture, and I'd like to share that. I've seen businesses like Roto Rooter and Mr. Rooter, which are also plumbing companies, on Wikipedia, so I don't quite understand why I wouldn't have the opportunity to address the page violations? F.H. Furr is more than just a business, and I'd like to be given the opportunity to edit the page. FHF01 (talk) 15:21, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Other plumbing companies meriting articles here does not automatically mean yours merits one too, please see WP:OSE. Each article is judged on its own merits. Companies only merit articles here if they meet the notability guidelines written at WP:ORG as shown with independent reliable sources with in depth coverage. Wikipedia has no interest in what an article subject wants to say about itself. Please review the policies Yamla linked to above; if you want to write about subjects unrelated to your conflict of interest, please state what those might be and comply with the policies indicated. You will not be unblocked if you only want to tell about your company. I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 16:48, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
