Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, Wlindars. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Draft:David W. Sanford, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. It's clear from your username and a quick Google search that you are directly affiliated with David Sanford in a marketing capacity. This is a conflict of interest and Wikipedia's Terms of Use require a public disclosure of this fact. Please follow the instructions for disclosing before making any further edits in any area that you have a conflict of interest. Thank you. Waggie (talk) 17:15, 6 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: David W. Sanford (October 6)[edit]

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

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Draft has improved significantly from previous reviews, thank you. My concern here is that the vast majority of sourcing discusses cases that Sanford has litigated and not Sanford himself, and the associated prose is not a summary of what the source says and is, instead, original prose. Please also properly disclose your conflict of interest on your userpage.

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:David W. Sanford 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:David W. Sanford, 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.
