Your submission at Articles for creation: The D.A's Office (August 14)

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

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing 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). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Fails WP:NCOMPANY, requires significant coverage about the company itself in multiple independent secondary sources. Noting the awards were bestowed on Adam Gock and Dinesh Wicks as individuals not the company, DA's Office.

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:The D.A's Office 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:The D.A's Office, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Guestchef. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Dinesh Wicks, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest 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, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
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 are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Dan arndt (talk) 01:33, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dan!

Thanks very much for your help. I declared my COI when creating the draft for The D.A's Office but didn't realise I needed to extend that to editing Dinesh Wicks' page - sorry about that. I have updated my User page to include both COI. No worries re The D.A's Office page - I will wait to re-submit once there are more sources to support the info on the page.

Thanks again :)

Cheers,

User: Guestchef

Can I ask what your exact relationship with Dinesh Wicks is? Dan arndt (talk) 06:21, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sure! I work as a freelance composer for The D.A's Office (of which Dinesh is one of the founders). I have previously worked as a communications consultant and a journalist so Dinesh asked me if I could update his Wikipedia page so it's more accurate. As I worked as a journalist, I have been very careful to remain as objective as possible and have only included information that is factual and supported by the multiple sources (see citations). Of course happy to hear any feedback/ways to improve it :) Cheers
