Your submission at Articles for creation: Battery Innovation Center (July 12)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by WikiDan61 was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

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 when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Battery Innovation Center and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Battery Innovation Center, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.

Conflict of interest

Hello, Advocari. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Draft:Battery Innovation Center, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 17:33, 12 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I do have a measure of COI that I had hoped to address with both the admission on my user page and the BIC page itself. I had hoped this disclosure would allow me to edit pages associated with the field of energy storage, as I can't be seen as covertly promoting specific technologies due to the BIC's explicit nature as an independent nonprofit 3rd party in the industry. This COI was also my reasoning behind having such a minimalist start to the page. If the COI issue could be resolved, I could easily add more references to support the validity of having a BIC article to begin with, but am otherwise hesitant to add too much to the page due to the COI.

Essentially, it seemed like an easy and necessary article to move me from a reader to an editor of pages, while establishing my credibility as an editor within the subject matter with which I am a leading expert in the field, but I don't mind just being a reader only again if you disagree. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.244.112.13 (talk) 18:50, 12 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Clearly, as the research director of this facility, you have significant knowledge in the field which would be welcome at Wikipedia. I would encourage you to find article in the field of energy storage that you could improve. However, writing about your own facility might not be the best idea.
