Your submission at Articles for creation: Stem Player (January 6)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by 331dot were:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

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. 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:

Some of the sources I cannot examine, but the ones I can are interviews and product announcements, which does not establish notability. We also are not interested in what the official website says about its own products, that is a primary source.

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:Stem Player 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:Stem Player, 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.

Hello Woodlandsleisure. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Woodlandsleisure. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Woodlandsleisure|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. 331dot (talk) 12:25, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello 331dot, thank for your message. I am slightly confused here, as I do not have any personal or financial connection whatsoever to the subjects mentioned in this article, assuming you are referring to Kanye West and Kano Computing. Apart from being an avid fan and supporter of Kanye West and the product in question, that is as far as it goes. I am currently editing the article to reflect a more neutral tone and point of view, and removing primary sources. To be clear again, I have no "financial stake" here within. Woodlandsleisure (talk) 12:42, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. Your editing had certain red flags which suggested that you might have a deeper connection than merely being a user of the product and/or a fan of Kanye West. You used the word "personal and financial"; do you have a professional connection? If not, and it is not the case that you have a connection to this subject matter, please accept my apologies. 331dot (talk) 12:47, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry 331dot, I do not have a professional connection either, I thought this would have been covered in the financial connection aspect. I have no connection, on any fields to any of the parties involved and I will attempt to correct and rectify such red flags in future edits.

Blocked as a sockpuppet
