Your submission at Articles for creation: Qualia: The School for Deeper Learning (November 17)

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

There is no evidence that this school satisfies Wikipedia's notability standards. The guidelines on notability explain in detail what is required, but the essential point is that there need to be references to reliable sources independent of the school which give substantial coverage of the school. In addition, in its present form the draft has a distinctly promotional tone, which needs to be removed.

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:Qualia: The School for Deeper Learning 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:Qualia: The School for Deeper Learning, 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, 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Qualia: The School for Deeper Learning

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Draft:Qualia: The School for Deeper Learning, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
It appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement of https://www.qualiaschool.org/. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

A handwritten welcome

Hi Maggie, and welcome to Wikipedia. I apologize for the automated messages, which I know are not very welcoming. Wikipedia can be tricky for new users, which is one reason it’s typically best to start contributing to Wikipedia in smaller ways before submitting a completely new article. While it’s not expected for users to know every single Wikipedia policy and guideline, there are a few important ones to keep in mind:

Copyright violations: Wikipedia cannot accept copied and pasted materials from copyrighted sources, largely for legal reasons. Wikipedia articles need to be written in your own words. This is the main reason I nominated your draft for speedy deletion, since Qualia owns the copyright for the text.
Notability (organizations and companies): This was the reason your draft submission was initially declined. Wikipedia isn’t a directory of every organization, but rather an encyclopedia of notable topics. A company should typically only have a Wikipedia article if it has been the subject of significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject.
Conflict of Interest: Writing about your employer is strongly discouraged, particularly creating a new article. Instead, if (and only if) the school meets notability standards, the best way to have an article created would be to submit it to Wikipedia:Articles for creation.
What Wikipedia is not: Wikipedia is not a soapbox or means of promotion. From the policy: Information about companies and products must be written in an objective and unbiased style, free of puffery. All article topics must be verifiable with independent, third-party sources, so articles about very small garage bands or local companies are typically unacceptable. Wikipedia articles about a person, company or organization are not an extension of their website, press releases, or other social media marketing efforts.

I hope you’ll consider contributing to Wikipedia in topics where you do not have a conflict of interest. If you would like to learn more about contributing, I find Help:Introduction to be a great guide for new contributors. Best, Politanvm ^talk 21:20, 17 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Maggie, thanks for removing the copied text, and for declaring your COI. I would still discourage you from creating an article for Qualia, for the the latter 3 policies and guidelines noted above. It is very difficult to write objectively about your employer, and it is very unlikely that a new page reviewer will approve an article written by a marketer for the school. It also doesn’t look like Qualia will meet Notability guidelines, since there doesn’t seem to have coverage in any independent, reliable, secondary sources that I can find. I’m hoping to help you avoid wasted time, effort, and frustration. Politanvm ^talk 21:34, 17 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Qualia: The School for Deeper Learning (November 18)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted because it included copyrighted content, which is not permitted on Wikipedia.

Wikipedia cannot accept material copied from elsewhere, unless it explicitly and verifiably has been released to the world under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license or into the public domain and is written in an acceptable tone—this includes material that you own the copyright to. You should attribute the content of a draft to outside sources, using citations, but copying and pasting or closely paraphrasing sources is not acceptable. The entire draft should be written using your own words and structure. Note to reviewers: do not leave copyright violations sitting in the page history. Please follow the instructions here.

You are welcome to write an article on the subject, but please do not use copyrighted work.

Draft:Qualia: The School for Deeper Learning may be deleted at any time unless the copied text is removed. Copyrighted work cannot be allowed to remain on Wikipedia.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page. or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
