Your submission at Articles for creation: Registered design symbol (November 26)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by SafariScribe 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 passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet 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:Registered design symbol 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.

Thanks for the feedback. I have updated the AfC to include several secondary sources, including articles on websites from large law firms, as well as an article on Lexology, a leading legal intelligence platform. I believe that these sources meet the requirements of being in-depth, reliable, secondary, and independent.

Besides the sources, I believe that the subject of the AfC passes the notability test, as Wikipedia includes articles on similar marks, such as ©, ®, ℗, and ™.

I have resubmitted and look forward to any further feedback you have. YMRoss (talk) 13:51, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Registered design symbol (December 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 Ca was:

The sources are not really about the symbol itself. I recommend adding this content to related articles, such as Regulation on Community designs.

Thanks for your feedback.

I believe that the sources do refer to the symbol. For example:

Source 4 is the original law establishing the symbol (and thus a primary source; care has been taken to not include any unsourced interpretation). It is fairly straightforward, and explicitly defines this a new symbol:

"a commonly accepted notice consisting of the symbol (D) should be available," i.e., this refers to the creation of a new symbol, which constitutes a notice.
Article 26A is called Registration symbol, and describes the symbol it establishes as "the letter D enclosed within a circle" (and also refers to it as a "notice").

Source 1 (which is a secondary source) refers to the new symbol using the terminology ("notice") of primary source 4:

"...a design notice system has been implemented.... The design notice will consist of a letter 'D' enclosed within a circle (D)..."

(published by accident; continuing here):

Sources 2-5 (secondary sources) similarly refer to the new "notice."
Sources 6 and 7 (secondary sources) explicitly refer to a new symbol.

In addition, the sources on this article seem to be at least as much about the symbol itself as do the sources for similar symbols ©, ®, ℗, and ™. As symbols used for legal purposes, it is only natural that most sources refer to their use in the law. But they are significant as symbols in their own right.

I'd appreciate your reconsideration. YMRoss (talk) 16:10, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
