Your submission at Articles for creation: GGPoker (November 2)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Theroadislong was:

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.

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:GGPoker 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, Chris H (GGPoker)! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing.

Draft[edit]

I like the page! References looks solid. Just to be clear, I am not on any committees that decide if a page is notable or meets merit. I think you got it right though. Best wishes! Red Director (talk) 16:35, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! We've worked hard to make sure that everything is up to Wikipedia's standards. If it's not inappropriate to ask, would you mind leaving a short comment to that effect on the Draft itself? I know it isn't a stamp of approval or anything but the more evaluations the page gets, the better. Chris H (GGPoker) (talk) 09:51, 15 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: GGPoker (April 1)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by CNMall41 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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Being that this is an online gambling website, it is considered a company, not a video game (assessment removed from talk page). As such, it will need to meet WP:NCORP by way of WP:ORGCRIT. Unfortunately, not a single source listed would meet ORGCRIT and the majority of the references are just industry publications. You reference Pokerstars and Full Tile but both of these pages have references meeting the ORGCRIT standard.

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.

Acceptance[edit]

Hi Chris. I accepted the article for GGPoker. As a poker player, I was able to review the article a little differently to others who don’t know what sites are trusted sources and which are just industry newsmills. Given the size and coverage of GG, I’m happy to approve. However the rules about COI editing remain. I thoroughly recommend you place requested edits in the talk page and do not edit this yourself. The article needs more cleanup which I will do. Remember, companies do not always get a page. Also, neither you or GG have the right to control what is said about GG in the article that exists. The article belongs to everyone on Wikipedia and all editors without a COI have the right to add or takeaway from the article. All contributions must be neutral and any mentions of product offerings should be extremely limited and only enough to provide factual information about the company rather than promote the site. The purpose of the article is to provide anyone trying to read about GG an unbiased summary of the business rather than promote it and attract customers.

thanks and take care - MC MaxnaCarta (talk) 05:19, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your review! I especially appreciate your in-depth analysis of our sources, I'd been hoping to attract the attention of someone with a poker background for some time. Of course, I won't make any edits to the page myself, and will make any requests for updates or additions via the talk page.

Thanks again,
