Your submission at Articles for creation: EAST COBBER (August 4)

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

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the general guideline on notability and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), 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:

Does not appear to be a notable magazine, as it does not meet WP:NMAG or WP:GNG. Further, the references I spot-checked here don't discuss the magazine at all. What we are looking for is a variety of reliable, independent (third-party) references that are specifically about the magazine, and in significant detail. Thanks,

August 2016

There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post 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 a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:

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.
Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Orange Mike | Talk 16:46, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Trying to Create A Page

Hi,

I am a social media intern for the EAST COBBER, and I am frustrated with trying to create my article because the guidelines have not been made clear. I am writing the article because as well as being an intern, I have been a resident of East Cobb for my entire life, and thought that it would be helpful to put my favorite local magazine on Wikipedia. I understand the problem with my username (EASTCOBBER); I did not make a distinction in the username between the business "EAST COBBER" and the term "East Cobber" as meaning someone who resides in East Cobb (which is what I meant). I am asking to change that username, as shown below in the unblock request.

However, I do not understand the notability problem that my article has been rejected for multiple times. The EAST COBBER is a small, hyper-local magazine very similar to Brooklyn Magazine or Cleveland Magazine, both of which have Wikipedia pages. Both of these magazines have references similar to those I have provided for the EAST COBBER, but for some reason the reviewers I have gotten have told me that my references do not show the EAST COBBER to be notable enough. Can you please tell me exactly what kind of references I need in order to have the EAST COBBER article published?

This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without a good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

EASTCOBBER (block log • active blocks • global blocks • autoblocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Requested username:

mangodigital (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

I am a resident of East Cobb, and we refer to ourselves as East Cobbers; I did not realize that this username would been seen as promoting the EAST COBBER magazine

Decline reason:

It looks like your primary goal here is to promote East Cobber, for which you have a conflict of interest. Unfortunately, that means it would be inappropriate to unblock you. Note that I've linked to the two policies you are specifically running into problems with. As a social-media intern, you have to avoid articles you are directly affiliated with.

By the way, this unblock request was not made by this account. EASTCOBBER, you have to be logged in when making unblock request. Vanjagenije (talk) 14:42, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
