Submission declined on 25 November 2023 by Voorts (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 Voorts 7 months ago. |

- Comment: Needs rewrite per MOS. The Herald (Benison) (talk) 05:06, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: It should be "Addo" not "Gwen" throughout. Additionally, sentences like this are highly promotional: "Hair Senta wants to expand into the US market to serve their clients in the United States of America".If you have a relationship with the subject of this draft, you must declare a conflict of interest following these instructions. voorts (talk/contributions) 02:59, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: Probably notable but the sources could stand to be pruned a bit. BuySomeApples (talk) 01:43, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: GhanaWeb is a blog so not a reliable source and should not be used. Others are interviews or press releases which are independent so cannot be used to establish notability. Also be careful about using sources that do not have a by-line as those are questionable. S0091 (talk) 14:17, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: Slight tone issue, subjects should never be referred to by their given name. Onel5969 TT me 12:24, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
