Submission declined on 7 November 2024 by Ldm1954 (talk). This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject. 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.

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. Declined by Bonadea 54 days ago.

• Comment: Thanks for your review and the guideline. I'm still not sure what's the advertising but I deleted a few things and made some more attributions. Is there anything specific that is advertising to you? JJelax (talk) 02:54, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

• Comment: If you resubmit again without removing all the advertising (see also WP:PEACOCK) I suggest that the next reviewer does a hard reject with no option to resubmit. Read the requirements! Ldm1954 (talk) 13:43, 7 November 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)

• 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)
