Submission declined on 3 October 2024 by Bonadea (talk). 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. If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window. If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted. If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors. Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.

• Comment: Puff piece; sourcing seems slightly stronger than when it was deleted in AfD but that doesn't mean we can accept an article written for the purpose of promoting the person. bonadea contributions talk 12:25, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

• Comment: Thanks for your review User:Bonadea, but there's no way for me to improve the draft if nobody is willing to explain what makes it a puff piece or promotional or provide a single example of it from the article. How can I see the sourcing of the page that was deleted in the AFD? MOST of my sources are from academic journals, authoritative writers (Chris Brogan / Andrew Keen / Keith A. Quesenberry) or known newspapers and websites (Los Angeles Times / Financial Times / El Comerico Peru / Atlanta)JJelax (talk) 13:32, 23 October 2024 (UTC)
