Your submission at Articles for creation: Utah Geospatial Resource Center (April 13)

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

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.

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.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Utah Geospatial Resource Center and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Utah Geospatial Resource Center

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:Utah Geospatial Resource Center, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Several passages are unsourced, specifically parts of the History section and the entirety of the Services and Collaboration sections. For example, where the reference for the claim that "...the agency provides access to over 300 datasets..."? Secondly, please don't enclose external links in the text. Either turn them into wikilinks or, if they are relevant, move them into an "External Links" section (but see WP:External links first, regardless.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Utah Geospatial Resource Center (July 3)

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

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. 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:

Utah governmental sources are not independent sources.

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.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Utah Geospatial Resource Center (November 2)

Your recent article submission has been rejected. 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 M4V3R1CK32 was: This topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia. The comment the reviewer left was: Repeated declines indicate that this topic is not notable. New sources added since last decline do not increase notability, include press releases, and don't mention the UGRC by name, mamking it unclear how the UGRC is related to the articles.

M4V3R1CK32 (talk) 03:15, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello M4V3R1CK32, I'd like to debate your rejection reasons. The repeated declines are more indicative of my first time submission errors much more than sufficient notability. The new sources do increase notability and they mention the agency name, AGRC, which the article describes the name change in 2021.

I would appreciate if you would ignore the repeated rejections since they are from my misguided journey into wikipedia and take a fresh look at the submission knowing that AGRC was the original name which make the press releases much more relevant. 136.38.43.91 (talk) 18:57, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
