Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by 94rain was:
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 brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
Make sure you add references that meet all four of 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.
The comment the reviewer left was:
Solely relying on sources published by the school itself. Please try to find coverage (not just passing mentions) in reliable sources that are not written by or related to the subject. Or see if it meets WP:ORG in any way
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.

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Qcne 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.
The comment the reviewer left was:
I'm not going to comment on if this meets our WP:NSCHOOL criteria, but the language throughout breaks our neutrality policy and needs re-writing. Please read WP:NPOV and WP:PEACOCK.
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.
As previously advised, your edits, such as the edit you made to Draft:Culverhouse College of Business and Manderson Graduate School of Business, give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:Lbhallonquist, and the template ((Paid)) can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: ((paid|user=Lbhallonquist|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName)). Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. Qcne(talk) 18:01, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand why you re-submitted this with all the problematic language intact, despite my guidance on the Helpdesk? You must also declare if you are employed by this organisation or have a conflict of interest.
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.
I resubmitted prior to your comments about the language. I went through and cleaned up the suspected errors and added some content such a more information in the notable alumni section. I do not work for the organization, nor have an conflict of interest. Lbhallonquist (talk) 18:13, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the feedback. I have taken your suggestions. I guess where I am struggling is several other business school pages I have referenced have similar speak in them. Below are a few examples:
I am not trying to argue. I am just explaining why I initially wrote the article the way I did. Lbhallonquist (talk) 19:38, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The proposed article does not have sufficient content to require an article of its own, but it could be merged into the existing article at University of Alabama. Since anyone can edit Wikipedia, you are welcome to add that information yourself. Thank you.
The comment the reviewer left was:
The first source is a publication by Alabama Power, a utility company so not a reliable source. Most of the other sources are the college which is a primary source or various rankings. There's not enough independent in-depth coverage to warrant a stand-alone article. The notable alums can be added to List of University of Alabama people if they are not already listed.

Can you help me understand why "Alabama News Center" is not a reliable source? I understand it is owned by a utility but is a digital publication focused on the state". Other than that, there is only 2 or 3 sources straight from the school. Most of the others are from very reliable sources such as Forbes, Yahoo, and Poet & Quants. These are all independent from the original ranking source, so I am not following on how they are not independent, in-depth coverage. Please advise. Lbhallonquist (talk) 21:54, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
All "Alabama New Center" is doing is regurgitating UA, per the article "this story originally appeared on the University of Alabama’s website" so is from the school, not to mention they have no evidence of editorial oversight or a history of fact checking. Please do take the time to read reliable source. Yahoo is a news aggregator and is regurgitating U.S. News. Poet & Quants is stats as is Forbes so not in-depth coverage (similar to an athletes stats, those alone are not useful for notability). Honestly, what is usable in the draft are a couple sentences about the history (when founded, who it was named after, when the grad program was added), which could be added to the main article with a reliable secondary source (not the school).
