Your submission at Articles for creation: Solidigm (February 28)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted because it included copyrighted content, which is not permitted on Wikipedia.

This submission appears to be taken from https://www.solidigmtechnology.com/en/about-us/newsroom/SK-hynix-completes-the-First-Phase-of-Intel-NAND-and-SSD-Business-Acquisition.html, https://www.solidigmtechnology.com/en/about-us/newsroom/Introducing-Solidigm-A-Market-Leader-in-NAND-Flash-Technology.html. Wikipedia cannot accept material copied from elsewhere, unless it explicitly and verifiably has been released to the world under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license or into the public domain and is written in an acceptable tone—this includes material that you own the copyright to. You should attribute the content of a draft to outside sources, using citations, but copying and pasting or closely paraphrasing sources is not acceptable. The entire draft should be written using your own words and structure. Note to reviewers: do not leave copyright violations sitting in the page history. Please follow the instructions here.

You are welcome to write an article on the subject, but please do not use copyrighted work.

Draft:Solidigm may be deleted at any time unless the copied text is removed. Copyrighted work cannot be allowed to remain on Wikipedia.

Hello, Al.schweizer! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing.

See you there! KylieTastic (talk) 16:06, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! It looks like I have been banned from contributing to Wikipedia entirely. I have never created an article before and was asked to create a page for our company when it launched just so it was an existing entity. Our company name "Solidigm" is referenced in this article: https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/SK_Hynix and we'd love to be a cross reference. Someone else on our team created the content and I guess it was not in alignment with Wikipedia's standards. But we are still a real company and would like to be searchable. What should my next steps be? Al.schweizer (talk) 22:28, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

I had never created a page before and was asked to create a page when our company launched in January as we are a real multi-billion dollar entity and wanted to be searchable. I was provided the content by someone else and the page/content was rejected for being too similar to our website copy - the only copy we had at the time. I would love to have the chance to re-work the page to fit within Wikipedia's guidelines, but now I have been blocked as a user entirely after only one rejected attempt, and not given a chance to try again. Is there anything that can be done? Al.schweizer (talk) 22:31, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

No, we have no interest in your company promoting themselves on Wikipedia and it was unethical of them to ask you to do this. If you wish to write about subject areas for which you have no conflict of interest (WP:COI), tell us what you plan to write about instead. Yamla (talk) 10:11, 23 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

@Al.schweizer: A company is not entitled to have a Wikipedia article just because it exists. Topics must be notable by Wikipedia's definition to be considered worthy of inclusion. In the case of a company, it must meet Wikipedia's notability criteria for companies. For this to happen, the company must have already gained significant coverage in multiple reliable, independent sources. We have no interest in what a company wishes to say about itself.

In addition, you cannot post copyrighted material on Wikipedia - even if you are the copyright holder, or have the copyright holder's permission - unless the material has been released for use by the verified copyright owner into the public domain or under a license compatible with Wikipedia. These licenses allow anyone — not just Wikipedia — to share, distribute, transmit, and adapt your work, free of charge and in perpetuity, provided that you are attributed as the author. Also, because some derivative works may be commercial, we cannot accept materials that are licensed only for educational use or even for general non-commercial use. Releasing the material is both permanent and irrevocable. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 16:18, 23 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
