Your submission at Articles for creation: MYA Clinics (September 20)

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

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:MYA Clinics and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, 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.

Thank you for taking the time to respond. I based the article on The Harley Medical Group although it may indeed by that MYA don't have the necessary level of notoriety, having avoided man of the scandals that have affected the industry. I will keep digging upon my return from New York (solely mentioning because I didn't want to seem rude if I don't respond etc. next week).

Many thanks, HammyDribbler (talk) 10:43, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, HammyDribbler! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:33, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome!

Hello, HammyDribbler, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Good morning, thank you for taking the time to get back to me with such a detailed response. My ex-bosses, ex-wife (yep it is complicated) asked me if I would create the page as I am significantly more computer literate than she, she is doing some marketing for MYA. I felt it would likely be OK as the founders' John Ryan (businessman) page makes mention of his creation of MYA in 2007 and I did self research rather than relying on her to draft a bias corporate press release.

I have a lot to read up on from above regarding best practices, associations and notoriety etc. which I will do once I return from New York (annoying timing).

Thanks again, HammyDribbler (talk) 10:39, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
