Draft:Luminar review question
Hi there,
There's a page which was submitted a few months ago - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Luminar You've reviewed its first version and suggested to make it neutral and add more references. After that, I've corrected these issues and added as many references as I could find and have re-written it with a neutral tone without any promotional and advertorial sentences. Yet, it was declined by your colleague, with a note stating that this page "says nothing about it". It's rather confusing since I believe that if I add more information about the product, it might sound promotional and non-neutral, but without it - it's noninformative according to the last reviewer. Please advice.
Thank you! (Jenyajc (talk) 13:19, 6 July 2017 (UTC))— Preceding unsigned comment added by Jenyajc (talk • contribs) 11:44, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

Please remember that quality of patrolling is more important than quantity, that the speedy deletion criteria should be followed strictly, and that ovetagging for minor issues should be avoided.

- User:The Earwig/copyvios.js adds a link in your side toolbox that will run the current page through

If you feel that the subject of a draft is unquestionably notable, but there are only minor things keeping it from being acceptable (i.e. it wouldn't cause someone to G11 it) you might as well accept the page and let others (who probably know more about promotional language than the creator) fix it further.

Draft: Alec Oxenford
Hi,
Thanks for your review of Draft: Alec Oxenford. I just trimmed down the Art Patron section a lot.
Just prior to your reviews, a couple of other editors had been working on it for about an hour, making a bunch of changes. They've been discussing it here and the section below: User_talk:Galobtter#Draft:_Alec_Oxenford
You might want to check in with them before moving forward - they said the article needed to be unsalted before it was published. I'm not sure if that just means removing the comments or something else.
Thanks again,
- Ahh, just see WP:SALT, it means removing create protection before the page can be moved. Galobtter (talk) 04:15, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
