Your submission at Articles for creation: Red Dog Blue Kat (August 14)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Itzcuauhtli11 were:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Red Dog Blue Kat and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

@Itzcuauhtli11: Thanks for the review. I’ve revised the draft to address notability/neutrality:

– Added independent coverage: Vancouver Sun (2016), Business in Vancouver (2014, 2017), Food in Canada (2022), Canadian Packaging (2022).

– Trimmed promotional wording; removed non-independent sources; kept product launch cited only to editorial trade media (Pet Food Processing, Petfood Industry).

– Clarified the Red Dog Deli corporate name where covered by sources.

I’ve resubmitted—happy to adjust further if needed. HeleneM-Editor (talk) 17:35, 14 August 2025 (UTC)

Talk page spamming

Kindly stop adding requests to mention your company on every article related to pet food. It's not going to happen. MrOllie (talk) 00:52, 19 August 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for the guidance. I’m still learning the best practices here, and I’ll step back from suggesting links that could be seen as promotional. If you have advice on the best way to address the “orphan” status of the article, I’d be grateful. HeleneM-Editor (talk) 01:01, 19 August 2025 (UTC)

Please review WP:COI and WP:PAID. Now that the article on your company is in mainspace you should not be editing it directly, particularly not to add promotional text or remove criticism. MrOllie (talk) 18:54, 19 August 2025 (UTC)
