Your submission at Articles for creation: InterContinental Adelaide (May 10)

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

Multiple independent reliable sources not associated with the hotel, such as articles in travel magazines, are needed. The only reference is the hotel's own.

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:InterContinental Adelaide 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.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Seoworks.com

Hello, GKestrel. I have noticed that your edits appear promotional. If you are being paid to edit Wikipedia on behalf of seoworks.com, you will need to declare that arrangement per requirements described at Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

I do work for seoWorks, since January of this year. But I'm not paid to edit Wikipedia. It's a personal passion of mine that long predates and will long outlast any one job. I contribute based on my passions and interests, most particularly games, travel, and pets among varied and eclectic interests. :-) GKestrel (talk) 20:59, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

And to fully note, I left SEOWorks in August 2016.
