Your submission at Articles for creation: Clare Haggas (August 5)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Garsh2 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:Clare Haggas 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.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, Martin3769! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Garsh (talk) 18:02, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Garsh, thank you for looking over the article draft I created, I was fully expecting comment, but didn't realise a straightforward deletion would happen without discussion! I'll take the lesson. I was really careful looking at wiki guides before publishing for a review, so I don't completely agree with the speedy deletion response. The article was factual, chronological, and with third party references. If you remember this particular article could you guide me a little in your reasons for deletion rather than providing an opportunity to edit? Thank you. I'll take a look at the links in your message too. Martin Turner (talk) 08:48, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! While I did decline the article's inclusion into mainspace and tag the article as promotional material, I did not perform the deletion as I am not an administrator. During my review, I found that the page included material and wording that seemed to promote its topic like an advertisement. While this does not automatically qualify for deletion, it was found that no significant content would remain if this promotional material was removed (see WP:G11).

I can no longer access the content of the page to give specifics as it was deleted, but it can be retrieved if you contact the deleting administrator. It appears that administrator is CactusWriter based on the deletion log of the page. Sorry if it feels as though your work was unjustly deleted, and I will happily give more specific comments once the page is undeleted. Garsh (talk) 18:08, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Clare Haggas

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:Clare Haggas, 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.
