Your submission at Articles for creation: YZD, Toronto (January 15)

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:YZD, Toronto 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.

Hello, UrbanTORevitalization! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself!

Welcome!

Hello, UrbanTORevitalization, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Draft:YZD, Toronto, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, visit the Teahouse, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

Your submission at Articles for creation: YZD, Toronto (March 2)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Qcne 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 does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

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:YZD, Toronto 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.

Please advise further on how to move this wikipedia page further. We have eliminated all traces of promotional materials and have utilized a far more neutral tone. This is a critical project for the City of Toronto and community members deserve the chance to know what's going on with North America's largest redevelopment (not what we mentioned that in the draft).

Please call me at 705-772-9988. UrbanTORevitalization (talk) 13:12, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @UrbanTORevitalization. I honestly think it is probably a notable topic and should be included, but the draft still reads promotionally. You can cut out the entire Meanwhile Uses and Neighbourhoods sections. It's still packed with promotional phrases throughout. Read Wikipedia carefully.

This is why we really discourage PR peoples from writing Wikipedia articles, we find you simply cannot write in an encyclopaedic manner. Wikipedia is not an advertising brochure.

If you manage to re-write the draft to comply with our policies, then let me know or re-submit the draft. But in it's current state it is still not appropriate. qcne (talk) 20:24, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your email

Hi @UrbanTORevitalization.

Thanks for your email.

The fundamental problem is that you have written your draft like you would a public relations advertisement. Wikipedia is not a place for PR adverts.

Your draft is, in it's current format, little more than spam.

Forget everything you ever knew about public relations. Completely re-write your draft in accordance with our policy on neutrality. You will probably need to start from scratch. qcne (talk) 16:11, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

April 2025

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:YZD, from its old location at User:UrbanTORevitalization/sandbox. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. ~Liance^talk 18:39, 3 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
