Your submission at Articles for creation: BioFoodLab (May 20)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by HitroMilanese 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 (see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies). 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:

Please see WP:CORPDEPTH and introduce sources where the company has received significant coverage. The current tone of the draft is promotional, please fix it to sound more encyclopedic.

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.

paid editing

Hello JohannesburgBlues. 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:JohannesburgBlues. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=JohannesburgBlues|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. Theroadislong (talk) 20:22, 23 July 2021 (UTC)

Dear Theroadislong, Thank you for your message! I have zero affiliation with the subject matter (paid or other). I have rewritten the page as per the editors' requests to me and substituted certain links. If the question is why I am writing this entry -- I am a fan of innovative and non-animal-based-protein healthy foods, who once upon a time lived in the former Soviet Union for many years. This company is the largest in Russia and the region, with a huge market share, and has done wonders for changing the perception of "food-as-a-means-to-good-health" for a population that enjoys drinking, smoking and sausage. It is one of the strongest consumer brands in Russia and has been covered extensively by TV shows, the country's leading business media, etc. So I think it deserves a page. That's all!

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

 The comment the reviewer left was:

The CNN article/video doesn't seem to exist (or at least the URL doesn't work); the RG and Ekho Moskvy articles are interviews, which do not contribute to notability. The Moscow Times and Intellinews articles do provides significant coverage, but they seem to be somehow connected, so I don't know if they can be counted as two separate sources, really. The Kommersant piece seems good, and the Friday TV programme may be okay, if only it could be verified. In conclusion, the sources may be just about enough to establish notability. I am, however, declining this for the promotional tone, and for unclear UPE status.

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

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 (see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies). 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:

The topic is about an organization therefore must meet WP:NCORP guidelines. NCORP requires (at least) two references that contain *both* in-depth information *about* the *organization* and "Independent Content" (see WP:ORGIND for explanation). Notability is not determined by the volume of references, but the quality, so adding more references relying on announcements, interviews, etc, doesn't help when assessing the criteria for notability. None of the references in the article meet the criteria, as they rely on announcements or interviews or information provided by the company.

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.
