Draft:Suiteness[edit]
Declined 8 times now. Time to make a decision to delete this page. There are a variety of refs here and it is not promotionally written. Legacypac (talk) 06:24, 18 March 2018 (UTC)
- Keep, speedy keep WP:SK#1, no reason offered for deletion. Legacypac has no authority to make these artificial deadlines. Leaning mainspace with criticism of the several rejecting reviewers, I think the first three references sufficiently attest to notability and that this is sufficient for mainspace. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 06:48, 18 March 2018 (UTC)
- Comment - See Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Draft:Suiteness. Robert McClenon (talk) 16:29, 18 March 2018 (UTC)
- Comment - The author is a single-purpose account who has edited only this draft, which was already taken to MFD once and kept. Has anyone asked the author about conflict of interest? Robert McClenon (talk) 16:29, 18 March 2018 (UTC)
- A proper evaluation is too much work. There was a forum for assisting, WP:N/N. Forcing the same questions on MfD as WP:N/N is bad project maintenance, scope creep. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 01:54, 19 March 2018 (UTC)
- No one is making any editor here evaluate notability or vote but most of the regulars here are experienced AfC reviewers, Admins, and other editors that regularly evaluate notability in other venues like AfD. We don't lose that ability by clicking into MfD. I came here directly from evaluating notabilty on drafts. I'm not familiar with WP:N/N perhaps because it is archived.

- Comment - What artificial deadline? I see no artificial deadline. I see a common sense argument that if a draft is declined 3 or 8 times it is reasonable to make a decision as to whether to delete it. I do see that the author is a single-purpose account who has edited only this draft, and that it was taken to MFD once and kept, which does not mean that it should be kept now or that it should be deleted now. I have asked at the conflict of interest noticeboard. If a neutral editor, and User:SmokeyJoe is a neutral editor, wants to move this into mainspace, they can defend it or let it go to AFD.

- Baffled Question - SmokeyJoe says that a proper evaluation is too much work. What does that mean? A proper evaluation of what, where? Robert McClenon (talk) 04:02, 19 March 2018 (UTC)
- A proper AfD-style evaluation of sources, all the listed WP:Reference bombed sources, and indeed, all sources that exist. This is an onerous task for a draft that is notionally only a draft. It asks a lot from the reviewer. I have an idea, written here: User:SmokeyJoe/AfC_wishlist#Onus_on_the_author_to_provide_notability_evidence_for_promotion-related_topics. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 05:54, 19 March 2018 (UTC)
- Delete. of course no one ed. has the authority to set the deadlines for material like this, which is why we do it by consensus at MfD. There is no gain from keeping hopeless drafts, but despite the work involved, experience has shown a group discussion is necessary for each of them . We have to go by our judgment based on experience here abotu whether something is hopeless. DGG ( talk ) 06:44, 19 March 2018 (UTC)
- Delete since I didn't already !vote. The subject company isn't hopeless, but the current draft is hopeless with a single-purpose account pushing to promote it. Notability isn't the only issue. Neutrality also is, and sometimes deletion is the most effective weapon that we have against undisclosed paid editing. Robert McClenon (talk) 21:17, 19 March 2018 (UTC)
- Delete - to me it's an ad. KJP1 (talk) 08:16, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
- Keep, Author of the article here. Thank you for giving me a chance to defend the article. I had replied to an earlier review about conflict of interest and it was cleared. I am not a paid editor. Agree that as an inexperienced contributor, the first 1-2 drafts were written poorly and sounded promotional. Since then I have sincerely stuck to comments from reviewers, asked for feedback on articles for creation helpdesk and removed all instances of promotional language and included as many references as I could to show notability. The article has been declined several times on account of notability and I believed that with references in unbiased articles on the WSJ, The NY Times, and similar leading publications, this would be resolved. The bombardment of references was a result of this. I'm happy to remove them but it would really help to understand why notability is still an issue here. Or what exactly are reviewers looking for that can solve this? Thank you for your time! Dmulan123 (talk) 15:25, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
