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. Declined by CNMall41 4 years ago. | |
Comment: It's been 4 years since the first submission and 16 since an AfD (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Heavy Construction Systems Specialists) and no new sources have been added since the last decline. HCSS doesn't meet our notability requirements and I don't think resubmitting is productive anymore. Chess (talk) (please mention me on reply) 21:45, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: Too many of the sources you've used are primary sources, i.e. originating from the subject of the draft. Deb (talk) 10:42, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
