Your request for AfC assistance

Hi, I noticed your request for assistance on the draft you submitted to Articles for Creation. Although the draft itself is well written, links in the article's content are discouraged (in this case, the links about the companies e.g. IMED corporation, Instromedix), and may be better suited as references or in an external links section at the bottom of the article. Thank you, and if you have any more questions feel free to ask on my talk page. -Liance^{talk/contribs} 18:46, 1 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Response

Hello. I noticed that, at the bottom, there are "additional references", which should be either removed or integrated into the article. Also, feel free to submit your draft for review anytime, it's no pressure to get it 100% perfect each time and different reviewers can help give different opinions on what needs fixing. Thank you! -Liance^{talk/contribs} 22:56, 1 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Richard B Hollis (March 7)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by LaMona was:

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

The comment they left was:

This article "sings praises" -- inappropriate for an encyclopedia article. The photos with famous people do not belong here. Also, the early life section is entirely unreferenced. No unreferenced material is allowed in biographical articles. Plus, it really doesn't matter what sports he did as a child.

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:Richard B Hollis and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Your request for AfC assistance

First and foremost, if you have been asked to create the article then it may have been a potential conflict of interest, and you must disclose your relation to the subject, preferable on your userpage. If you have been paid to edit, which is highly discouraged, please also disclose this. As stated by the reviewer who looked at your article, much of the images are not needed and there are uncessary details (e.g. childhood sports).
