March 17[edit]

Wondering why this page was not accepted for creation. Robert Hellenga (author) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Areteneo (talkcontribs) 16:10, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The primary reasons are given in the notice at the top of the article submission, with links to more information. In short, you have not shown notability. Notability on Wikipedia generally means that the subject has been discussed in a variety of independent reliable sources. At the time of the review (6 January 2014 by FoCuSandLeArN), there is only one independent source. Anon126 (talk - contribs) 17:06, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm very curious on why my edits where rejected.If you can suggest or give me the specifics i will rectify it accordingly.

Would greatly appreciate the inputs.

Hello Ngravi- Welcome to the Articles for Creation Help desk. If you look at the top of the submission page, there's light pink box with reasons of decline. Well, as you've requested here, I'll make an attempt to describe a little to you for better understanding, you submission is declined because it reads like an advertisement. Wikipedia accepts knowledge not advertisement. This way, it is not in compliance with Wikipedia neutral point of view policy and hence could not be accepted this time. Apart from promotional tone, I feel, notability of the subject has not been established and could not be accepted even if tone is made to comply with neutral point of view policy. Notability stands for, significant coverage in the secondary, independent and reliable sources. Anupmehra -Let's talk! 19:40, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
