Reply[edit]

Hi, thanks for message. User pages have a degree of protection, particularly for referencing, but cannot be used to host blatant promotion or copyright violations are for you to write about your activities on Wikipedia, and are not for promotion. I deleted your article because

it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the company, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the company claims or interviewing its management. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls
you gave some supposed references as bare urls at the end of the article, but they were not in-line so we can't tell what fact each is supporting, and, more to the point, they are not all independent third-party sources. Just a quick look shows that you are using Wikipedia, a dead link and the company itself as references.
Since your text is a little bit about the condition and a lot of unsourced promo, it's not clear why this product is notable. We have no sales figures, awards or anything other than, basically, "this stuff is wonderful"
it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. You have ® symbols , but it's not out job to protect their trademarks. Examples of unsourced claims presented as fact include: Once in place, it produces the necessary lactase enzyme so that all dairy products can be consumed without repercussions... Consumers appreciate the convenience of not having to remember pills, and not having to try and decide if the food they're having may or may not have lactose in it. They also report reduced concerns about travelling with pills of any description in today's security-conscious society... and similar promo throughout. I particularly liked 79% of Amazon buyers give 5 star-ratings (Oct/2019), and 83% rate it at 3 out of 5 stars, or higher. Conversely, 17% observe that they were dissatisfied with their results, rating it 2 stars or lower. Other Amazon customers rated the product at 3.7 stars for meeting Vegetarian requirements, 3.6 stars for meeting their Health & Wellness requirements, and 4.5 stars for meeting the requirements of a Low-Carb Diet. The Value for Money rating also scored 4.5 stars. where your source is a sales site and you bold the scores too, contra MoS. Having a whole section telling s we can buy it from the company, complete with spamlinks, is pretty blatant too
there shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections. That's particularly the case when they are spamlinks to affiliated sites.
Parts of the article look as if they were copied from an unknown and possibly copyrighted source. I didn'yt check this, but for completeness note that copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial, and text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.
You have said you have no conflict of interest and I'm prepared to accept that and restore in your sandbox. However, I will remove the obvious promo and spamlinks, please don't put them back or I'll delete again. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:58, 11 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

These are the changes I made, you still need proper in-line refs for all your text Jimfbleak - talk to me? 07:14, 11 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
