[edit] Articles for creation submission

Dear editor, I notice by your username, and the title of the submission you have placed, that you are likely involved in some way with the company Bikeland. Wikipedia has a conflict of interest guideline that states you should not create or edit articles about yourself, your company, your family, friends, etc., as you'd likely be unable to do so neutrally. Neutrality is one of the core policies of Wikipedia, and I'd request that you review the basic policies here, as they are quite helpful. Another policy that is helpful to be aware of is the notability policy. The submission you've created does not explain the notability of the company, and does not cite any reliable, third-party sources, which are necessary for verification. Thus, I've declined the submission. If you can find news articles, trade or professional articles, etc., that show the notability as outlined by Wikipedia's guidelines and policy, then you can submit the request again, but I'd suggest if it were accepted, you refrain from editing, due to the possible conflict of interest. Additionally, you may wish to consider changing your username, as promotional usernames are not allowed. Thanks! Ariel♥Gold 07:06, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
