== Your submission at [[Wikipedia:Articles for creation|Articles for creation]]: [[Draft:Generika Drugstore|Generika Drugstore]] (April 19) == |
|||
'''Draft declined'''{{pb}}[[File:AFC-Logo_Decline.svg|50px|left]]Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. Your draft submission to [[Wikipedia:Articles for creation|Articles for creation]] has been reviewed but not accepted at this time.{{pb}} |

{{divbox|gray|3=This draft's references do not show that the subject meets Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)|criteria for inclusion for organizations and companies]]. The draft requires multiple published [[Wikipedia:Secondary|secondary]] sources that: |
|||
* provide ''[[Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Significant coverage|significant coverage]]'': discuss the subject in detail, excluding routine coverage like product launches, staff appointments, or financial reports and listings in databases or [[listicle]]s; |
|||
* are ''[[Wikipedia:Reliable sources|reliable]]'': from reputable outlets with editorial oversight; |
|||
* are ''[[Wikipedia:Independent_sources|independent]]'': not connected to the subject, such as press releases, the subject's own website, or sponsored content. |
|||
Please add references that meet ''all three'' of these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia.|}}{{divbox|gray|3=This draft reads like an advertisement. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, [[Wikipedia:Spam#Advertisements masquerading as articles|not a platform for promotion or marketing]]. Drafts that are [[Wikipedia:G11|exclusively promotional may be deleted without notice]]. |
|||
Wikipedia articles must be written neutrally in a formal, impersonal, and dispassionate way. They should not read like a blog post, advertisement, or fan page. Rewrite the draft to remove: |
|||
* ''promotional language'': see [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Words to watch|Words to watch]]; |
|||
* ''personal commentary'': opinions or direct addresses to the reader; |
|||
* ''[[Wikipedia:Tone|informal language]].'' |
|||
Instead, only [[Wikipedia:Writing better articles#Information style and tone|summarize in your own words a range of independent, reliable, published sources]] that discuss the subject. |
|||
If you have a [[Wikipedia:Conflict of interest|conflict of interest]] (e.g. you are the subject, an employee, or a relative) or are [[Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure|being paid to edit]], you must disclose this to comply with Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Terms of Use|Terms of Use]].|}}{{divbox|blue|3=I suspect this wasn't the editor's intention, but this is promotional in language and would be what the company would want to say of itself, rather than a neutral encyclopedia entry. It is also not clear that [[WP:SIRS]] is met since the sources tend to the [[WP:CORPTRIV]] end of media attention.}} |
