I have a draft page in for review by the editors but I want to know how to move the CONTENTS box. It is too high. Thanks for all your help!

I'm confused as to why it keeps getting turned down for reading like an advertisement. I've frequented other pages based on other entrepreneurs and there's read the same way. Basically I'm not entirely certain how you can make a page for an entrepreneur without it sounding like an advertisement. Especially when they already have an established wikipedia page for their business. Are there any tips as to how it can be fixed because it seems subjective as to why it keeps getting declined.

Thanks!

My article was rejected due to lack of cited sources to indicate notability. I'm a little unclear on what this means. I guess I just need a solid definition of what you guys consider "notable" so I can work on getting reviewed, etc, by the right people and organizations.

Hi Ryan Mindo. Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) explains the notability guidelines with respect to companies. Most businesses are not notable. You may find WP:BFAQ#COMPANY informative. --Worldbruce (talk) 20:58, 23 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I am trying to assist the creation of the company page for X-Scan Imaging Corporation. My draft got flagged, and I need some advice on how to move forward and prevent deletion again.

I dont understand why "This topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia." Have you ever tried to type in Google and/or in Youtube at least once "sonoff firmware", "sonoff installation", "sonoff smart home" ? And the community projects "sonoff tasmota", "sonoff esp easy", "sonoff arduino" ? many people work on those projects.

Could it be that... the problem is only that the manufacturer is Chinese? and is it not a good historical moment?

My 2 cents, from an italian guy

A.

@Bigzeus: - AfC reviewers aren't required to go hunting for sources - the issue is the state of sourcing that it currently has. All the current sourcing is either non-independent (company site, etc) or non-reliable (like Wikipedia, if it's generally editable, it isn't reliable). I actually did some searches of the primary company name and didn't get sufficient to satisfy the "in-depth/reliable/independent/secondary" requirements. Remember that companies have higher notability requirements than most articles.
Please don't start implying that our reviewers are racist until you have cast-iron evidence that is the case. Nosebagbear (talk) 12:02, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I wish to request for pointers in creating articles if possible. LOBOSKYJOJO (talk) 22:54, 23 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi LOBOSKYJOJO. See Wikipedia:Your first article. Successful article creation generally requires considerable experience making constructive edits to existing articles, and a good grasp of policies and guidelines. Your contribution history suggests that you may not be adequately prepared to create new articles. It might be to your advantage to make more small improvements, see Wikipedia:Community portal for how to help. Or if English is not your first language, you may feel more comfortable contributing to a different language version of Wikipedia, there are many others to choose from. --Worldbruce (talk) 01:36, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
