Your submission at Articles for creation: Cableguys (April 8)

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

Make sure you add references that meet all four of 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:Cableguys 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.

Request reason:

Apologies – I assumed I was allowed to post this page because I filled in the disclaimer. What can I do to address this? SBruv (talk) 18:34, 8 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

You made the required disclaimer, but that does not give you a license to promote your company. Wikipedia articles(at least here on the English Wiipedia, which is different from the German Wikipedia) summarize what independent reliable sources choose to say about a company, not what it says about itself and its offerings. You also evaded the block on your other account(with the company name as your username). 331dot (talk) 09:02, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

I'm a bit confused by the disclaimer: being blocked despite having stated that I've been asked by the company to make this page rather makes the disclaimer meaningless, doesn't it? I genuinely don't get how that works. If someone isn't allowed to be hired by a company to make a Wikipedia page for them, why is there a disclaimer that appears to permit such activity?

And I wasn't trying to 'evade' the block – I just thought it might be okay if I did it under my own name.

PLease clarify, because this really was an honest mistake, not an attempt to circumvent the rules.

Thanks,

Ronan
