Your submission at Articles for creation: Forever Captain Poodaman The Ahmad butler Foundation (August 24)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by KylieTastic was:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Forever Captain Poodaman The Ahmad butler Foundation and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, ABFoundatio. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicizing, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. KylieTastic (talk) 14:31, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for this Kylie, should I have someone else submitt it? ABFoundatio (talk) 14:56, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Firstly there is an issue of your name which breaks our Wikipedia:Username policy as it does not represent an individual, but can be changed via Wikipedia:Changing username. Secondly you can edit with a WP:COI but it is strongly discouraged as it is very difficult to be truly neutral. If you did choose to continue you must disclose your COI per the notice above. Lastly note all new articles on Wikipedia have to show the subject is notable (See WP:N) which in most cases requires significant coverage (WP:SIGCOV) in multiple independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS). You currently have no sources let alone any independent ones, so finding such sources is the first step for writing any article. Hope that explains things a bit more. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 15:10, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes it does thank you, so I can remove my name and just put founded and send you coverage of insurance? Because this is not an event what should I say its for? ABFoundatio (talk) 15:16, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You can apply to have your name changed via Wikipedia:Changing username. No things like documentation of insurance just show existence of a subject not that is notable in Wikipedia terms. The key is a subject like this requires significant coverage (WP:SIGCOV) in multiple, independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS). Doing a google new news articles about "The Ahmad butler Foundation" only turns up a few local articles, which means it probably is not, yet, notable enough. KylieTastic (talk) 15:29, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So are you saying you don't think it will go through or that I should wait a bit? ABFoundatio (talk) 15:45, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unless you can find 3+ independent sources with significant coverage of the foundation it is probably just not notable enough at this time. KylieTastic (talk) 15:49, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We have more than three news sources will that work? ABFoundatio (talk) 16:02, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How do I remove "by his grandmother, Latanya Morrison, who wanted"? ABFoundatio (talk) 15:20, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

August 2024

Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because it has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. Also, your username gives the impression that the account represents a business, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

If you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization, you may request unblock and a username change. In your reasons, you must follow all these steps:

Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement; and
Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked; and
Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked; and
Provide a new username.

To do this, insert the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken and in use by another account. You can search to see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is still available.

Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page.
