Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Paul Davis Restoration, from its old location at User:Kstrickland431/sandbox/Paul Davis Restoration. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. KGirlTrucker81^{huh? what I've been doing} 19:56, 27 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Paul Davis Restoration (July 8)

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

Only an advertised business profile, none of it satisfies our applied notability standards and it suggests a business press release instead.

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:Paul Davis Restoration and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

This appears to be nothing more than an element of a routine company's promotional strategy.

notability

Hi, I ran across your post at Articles for Creation and noticed that the article you're trying to submit is basically a promo for the business. I'm assuming that you are a new editor as this is a popular idea that's really hard for anyone to get past review. Also you have no edit history, which suggests you may be a wp:Single-purpose account, and they are often held to a higher standard when trying to add a page. A business would have to show wp:notability by being mentioned in several news stories in order to make it into the encyclopedia, and although you've done well with references, not one is notable. I have a suggestion where you'd have a way better chance. Tuck the current article away in user:Kstrickland431/Paul_Davis_Restoration, start a new article about the book and franchise phenomenon, I think you could show notability and it's way easier to get a book article in as opposed to a business. Once you have that page approved you can add wp:redirects for "Paul W. Davis Contracting" and "Paul Davis Restoration" and extend the article with pieces of the page you have now. I hope this helps. Good luck.Dougmcdonell (talk) 02:07, 21 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
