Article Review Opinion

Latest comment: 9 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Hi Angie,

I ran across your article that was not accepted for creation. I found the rejection inexplicable. This is a great little article on a company that is exemplary of important trends, and for which it has been noted by multiple national news outlets, with such beautifully formatted citations! (hardly prevalent in Wikipedia).

I have been editing WP for about five years. I have a PhD in Sociology. I don't usually write articles; I am more interested in improving the quality of articles, so I usually edit.

With *Reuters* as *one* of your sources, in my opinion your article meets the notability criteria. I did my best to figure out the review process in the last half hour. As always, Wikipedia processes are obscure, but it seems *any* *single* experienced Wikipedia user can do reviews. However, my understanding is limited. I don't know if you have asked for feedback about your article, but here is a location where others have. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Articles_for_creation/Help_desk

I don't know if it is an option, or how, but if I were you, I would consider withdrawing it from the submission process and just going ahead and creating the article, as is perfectly permissible in WP, and which your article deserved in the first place. Then, if it is nominated for deletion, it will require a *consensus* rather than a single reviewer to delete it. If you, or I, have misunderstood something in this process, then I'm sure someone else will enlighten us!
