Talk:Thriveworks

Comments left by AfC reviewers

• Comment: The sources establish that Thriveworks exist, but they appear to be mostly press releases, or are otherwise promotional pieces. It is unclear what is particularly notable about Thriveworks. Reconrabbit 20:22, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

Hello,

Thank you again for reviewing my Draft: Thriveworks Article. I appreciate your feedback and want to ensure I fully address the concerns regarding notability.

I believe Thriveworks meets Wikipedia’s notability criteria, and the sources I provided are in-depth, reliable, secondary, and strictly independent of the company. However, I would value your insight on why these sources may not be considered sufficient, and how I can ensure the article meets the necessary standards.

According to Wikipedia's guidelines, a primary test of notability is whether independent, unrelated individuals have published non-trivial works focused on the subject. I believe the sources provided meet this standard, as they are unbiased news outlets with no vested interest in Thriveworks. Additionally, Wikipedia requires independent content to include original opinion, analysis, and fact-checking, which I feel is evident in our sources.

Given this, can you reconsider your position? Else can you advise what I can do in the article to adjust it. Please know I'm committed to making any necessary adjustment to meet Wikipedia’s guidelines given my COI.

Thank you for your time and guidance. Mfunderburk (talk) 13:11, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for reaching out. I will admit that the structure of the draft is rather bare after restructuring it according to Bonadea's instructions. I will also note that editors including myself are cautious about the provenance of extremely local news sources like Patch Media and articles like those from Behavioral Health Business that describe business transactions in the organization's own words. I will make some small changes - as I feel like more can be drawn from each of these sources while maintaining neutral point of view - and request a third opinion from the Articles for Creation reviewers.

Hi @Mfunderburk, I'm another AfC reviewer and have taken another look at your draft. @Reconrabbit was correct to decline it based on the sources: I agree that every source is reliable but what I am not seeing is independence. Every source is based off a press release or interview with the CEO, and there is not enough independent analysis and discussion to quite put us over the edge of notability yet. I would class quite a few of the sources you've used as churnalism and therefore we can't use them to establish notability.

If you can give me three, just three, really strong sources that each meet the following requirements: reliable, independent, significant coverage. We really want to see in-depth independent analysis separate to a regurgitated press release or interview.

Let me know if you have any questions. Qcne (talk) 15:55, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

Hey @Qcneand @Reconrabbit, Thank you both for the detailed feedback—it’s truly helpful, and I appreciate the time you’ve taken to help me navigate this process. I completely understand your points about the need for reliable, independent, and in-depth sources that go beyond interviews or press releases. I’ll keep that in mind for future drafts.

For the ‘top three’ sources, following the additional instructions provided at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:RoySmith/Three_best_sources, I’d recommend these as our strongest:

-https://medcitynews.com/2024/08/eleanor-health-thriveworks-launch-partnership-to-support-patients-with-sud/

-https://www.phillyvoice.com/happiness-america-mental-health-attitudes-counseling/

-https://www.buyoutsinsider.com/regal-hcp-earns-healthy-returns-with-thriveworks-dental365/

Additionally, I had a question about sources that reviewed our company completely unprompted and independently—no conflict of interest exists with these. However, I was cautious about including them since they sometimes read like a marketing piece. These sources are:

-https://www.forbes.com/health/mind/thriveworks-review/

-https://www.everydayhealth.com/emotional-health/thriveworks-counseling-review/

I've seen similar pages sourced in articles on other mental health companies, so I wanted to confirm if these might be acceptable. If they qualify, I believe they could provide additional independent analysis needed to strengthen our case for notability.

Thanks again for your time and guidance. It’s genuinely appreciated! Mfunderburk (talk) 18:35, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

Hey @Qcneand @Reconrabbit just thought I'd check back up here! Thank you both so much for your time! Mfunderburk (talk) 15:16, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
