New user, request to add deleted article to my user draft

Hi @Anarchyte! I recently joined and drafted an article, and received a message saying it would be deleted per a potential conflict of interest and I should instead draft it on my user drafts and have an editor review it. It also said I could ask you (someone on a long list) to move the deleted version of the article to my user drafts. The article is Sword Health, submit@ted yesterday. Is that something you could please help me with?

Thanks! Lmacphail (talk) 09:48, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Lmacphail. You can find your version of the article here. If you click "edit", you can access the text of this older version. Please note that you should abide by WP:PROMO with all edits you make. Anarchyte (talk) 02:03, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Anarchyte! I've rewritten the text of the article and saved it in my drafts here: User:Lmacphail/sandbox/SwordHealthDraft. Can you review and provide any recommended edits prior to my submission?

Thanks! Lmacphail (talk) 11:29, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It is still incredibly promotional. I would suggest rewriting it and taking out all promotional phrases (like "offering its digital therapy programs as a cost-effective alternative to in-person physical therapy"). Anarchyte (talk) 01:47, 19 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the feedback, and apologies as this is my first time editing! I've just gone through the whole article again and tried to make everything neutrally worded. Can you take a look again please? Lmacphail (talk) 11:23, 19 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies for the delay. The history section looks good but the other sections give me pause. I would not recommend adding those as they are effectively the company's résumé. Anarchyte (talk) 11:49, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I was basing some of these sections on things I saw on other telehealth listings, to make sure that they would be compliant to add. I saw very similar sections for funding, impact, and studies on listings like Teledoc, Amwell, and Mindbloom so I thought that would be okay. If there's a different way to frame these to be more in line with what is accepted, I can try and edit further - but would appreciate specifics that make my sections different than those that are in-use in these other pages. Lmacphail (talk) 12:12, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the reply. The article on Amwell (company) is a mess; I would not recommend using that as a baseline for quality. It's been tagged as promotional since 2022. The other two articles are better, but I've just gone in and removed one promotional sentence from Teladoc Health (and there are more that I have left untouched). The issue with the draft is that it doesn't explain the information in an encyclopaedic and neutrally-toned manner. The list of journal articles is disjointed and should be merged into the history section but only when absolutely relevant, otherwise it becomes a violation of WP:WPNOT (specifically WP:NOTADVERT, WP:NOTLIST, and WP:NOTPRICE (regarding the investment history). If it's relevant, it should be in #History, not its own section. Much the same for the awards. Anarchyte (talk) 23:28, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That's very helpful. I removed the awards, clinical trials, and health outcomes, and only added a few to the history section, where I thought they provide more context to the history. I also reviewed the history section again and tried to make the language more neutral. I apologize for all of the drafting, but I appreciate your continued help. Let me know if you think I could try submitting this version? Lmacphail (talk) 14:42, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
