Hello!

I am currently editing a new submission (Articles for creation/Science of Life Studies 24/7) however, it has not been approved because it sounds like an advertisement and requires referring 'to a range of independent, reliable, published sources'.

I truly want to do the best job possible for this, so would really value some advice. The sources I used to backup the information are mostly newspaper articles and letters that were not published by the organization Science of Life Studies 24/7. Isn't this considered independent and reliable, published sources?

This has left me a bit confused on how to edit the article to make it up to the wikipedia standards. Could anyone highlight the areas which are 'advertisement'-like so I can remove it and rewrite it in a more encyclopedia style?

Thank you very much for any help given!

The main issue with this submission is its promotional tone. Wikipedia is not a directory site or a forum for advertising. The reason the decline template mentions citing sources is because it is a pre-formed template designed to cover more than one problem. Pol430 talk to me 16:55, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That's not quite how it works... Wikipedia is not a social media site or a forum for promotion. Nor is it aplace to establish your notability. All Wikipedia articles require that the subject is already notable. The notability of a subject must be established through significant coverage in reliable, independent, published sources. The sources you have provided do not meet the requirements for reliable sources and it is not the clear that the subject is sufficiently notable. Pol430 talk to me 17:03, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm confused. We wrote it and we cited our sources... What did I not do? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Abomb123 (talk • contribs) 21:56, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You do have some sources, but all but one of them are primary sources (official sites or facebook pages) which don't establish notability. You do have one reliable source (the desert news) but it doesn't actually mention Warrior Worship. All articles need to be backed by reliable, independent sources that discuss the subject in detail. Right now, your submission fails that unfortunately. Take your time, but you need to add multiple sources of the kind described above if you would like to see the article accepted.
