Your submission at Articles for creation: 3D Repo (November 1)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by My name is not dave 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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This is extremely borderline. Your best source is currently source 8. When I clicked onto the first source, it seemed alright, until it veered into 'we' territory, and I became confused regarding the independence of the source. Another good source seems to be the MongoDB one here.

If this were accepted, and if it were brought to articles for deletion, I should certainly think that this article would generate some discussion -- it's not too clear cut.

I'm stopping it here so you can reinforce the notability of your company with things that can clearly meet our policies, which, when complied with, would give this draft the green light to go into the cold and dark main article space. The specific guidelines I am looking at, which this article may not meet at this moment, is WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:ORGIND. Many here are press releases or are primary sources, and it does not fill me with conviction that this article would survive and not be brought to our articles for deletion process.

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:3D Repo and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
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

As you are the CEO of the company that is the draft's subject, you must declare on your user page (currently not yet created so that is why it is red) that you are the CEO of 3D Repo Ltd. In addition to this, if and when your draft reaches the main article space, you must not the edit the 3D Repo page directly. Instead you should suggest edits on the prospective article's talk page with the {{request edit}} template. Concerning the current draft, of course, you can edit that directly.

Also, if you are going to be WP:PAID for your edits, you must, in the words of WP:PAID, must disclose [your] employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any paid contributions. If you are not, don't worry.

Thanks, ^{My name is}not^dave (talk/contribs) 17:36, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I have created the user page and added the required disclosure. I will attempt to improve the references, but given this is specialist subject (hence the encyclopedic nature), it does not attract mainstream media coverage. Hope that's not a problem. Having said that, our work has been published in world leading scientific venues including SIGGRAPH, Web3D_Consortium and Eurographics so I would expect those to be sufficient references. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Drjozefdobos (talk • contribs)

I've fixed your post here, please do sign your messages with four tildes (like ~~~~) at the end of your message, so we can see in discussions who is posting without having to delve into the page history. Also do follow the indentation of a discussion, you'll note that for some odd reason I have two colons before my message and one before yours; add one more than mine so that the discussion follows.

Anyway, WP:NCORP is quite clear -- if there are sufficient sources which are published, reliable, independent, are secondary and not primary, the article should be safe from deletion. Audience reach of these sources is taken into account, per WP:AUD, but it's not a dealbreaker unlike above. ^{My name is}not^dave (talk/contribs) 18:40, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Understood. I presume these kind of resources would meet the criteria better? https://www.geoconnexion.com/uploads/publication_pdfs/uk_v16i05-48-49-GeoBim.pdf Drjozefdobos (talk) 20:30, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The one you have given me above is a primary source because you are being interviewed in it; it does not give notability. Nonetheless you have added one better source -- http://extranetevolution.com/2017/06/collaborative-bim-developments/ -- so I would encourage you to resubmit for a second view.
