Submission declined on 3 February 2026 by Pythoncoder (talk). This draft reads like an advertisement. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a platform for promotion or marketing. Drafts that are exclusively promotional may be deleted without notice.
Declined by Pythoncoder 4 months ago.Wikipedia articles must be written neutrally in a formal, impersonal, and dispassionate way. They should not read like a blog post, advertisement, or fan page. Rewrite the draft to remove:
Instead, only summarize in your own words a range of independent, reliable, published sources that discuss the subject. If you have a conflict of interest (e.g. you are the subject, an employee, or a relative) or are being paid to edit, you must disclose this to comply with Wikipedia's Terms of Use. | |
Comment: The article needs a lot more, notability for example isn't really satisfied with the references provided looking over the sources. Additionally, some of the wording does still feel like an ad, with the change between the last submission and this one seeming to be just a chunk of the article deleted.
