Your submission at Articles for creation: Fresh-One, LLC (October 25)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Sam Sailor was:

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.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Fresh-One, LLC and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Fresh-One, LLC, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Fresh-One, LLC

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Draft:Fresh-One, LLC, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Notes on Draft:Fresh-One, LLC

I did note your talk page remark on the above page. Since the page did require deletion, I'm responding with clarification here.

While spam and sales links are a form of promotion, they are not the only type. Wikipedia articles are required to be strictly neutral in both tone and content (any type of "talking up" or "sales pitch" language violates this), and to stick to facts verifiable by publication in reliable and independent sources. We would never allow something in an article like "Only FreshOne has the Industry-leading intelligence, national buying power, collaborative supplier relationships, logistics know-how, marketing savvy, innovative development team, supply-demand forecasting capabilities and the proven experience to deliver a comprehensive go-to-market fresh program for you. Their vision is to be the premier company that meets and exceeds the demands of today’s lifestyles by providing fresh, convenient, innovative and healthy food products to multi-location retailers nationally while adhering to our core values." That's straight out of a sales brochure. Also, we never address the reader, so there should never be a "you" in an article outside direct quotes. Finally, corporate filings, while reliable, don't really demonstrate notability. That requires substantial amounts of independent and reliable source material like newspaper or magazine articles about the subject. If there aren't sources like that about the company, we shouldn't have an article on it at all. Drafts don't have to immediately meet the sourcing and notability requirements (though they do before they move to the actual encyclopedia), but they will be deleted for blatantly promotional language like the above.

Also, one more thing, as I generally advise to editors who have a deletion for promotional content: Please be aware that if you are being paid or compensated to edit Wikipedia, including being asked or expected to do so as a duty of employment or internship, our terms of service require that you disclose that fact as outlined here.
