in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

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.

Hi @SafariScribe,

Thank you for reviewing the draft article, Draft:Recycle Across America. I left you a message in your personal talk channel but never received a response. I was hoping you could clarify why you declined the draft article for Recycle Across America for reasons related to notability when there are multiple quality secondary sources such as the New York Times, Forbes, the Guardian, PBS, and CBS which are in-depth, reliable, and independent of the organization? For instance, the New York Times articles are written by notable journalists such as Michael Corkrey and David Borstein.

Any specific feedback beyond the auto-populated response would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you. RecyclingAdvocateEditor (talk) 17:01, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Notcharizard,

Thank you for taking the time to review Draft:Recycle Across America and for flagging the promotional tone. I’ve made several changes aimed at addressing that issue and at clarifying notability:

Source balance– trimmed most material based on RAA’s own web pages and replaced it with coverage from The New York Times, Forbes, The Guardian, The Star Tribune, The Mountain Mail, Florida Phoenix, etc.).

Neutral wording– removed phrases such as “largest in the nation” and replaced them with plain factual statements.

Criticism & debate section– added third-party critiques of recycling to provide balance. However there are no specific controversies or criticisms against RAA that I could include at this time.

Inline citations– every claim of impact now cites an independent source and where necessary, I tried to explicitly attribute the claims to RAA.

If there are remaining sentences that still read as promotional, could you point me to them (e.g., “Impact section, subsection National Park Initiative, sentence 2”)? I’m happy to keep revising.

Thanks or your guidance.

Note: I modeled the article’s structure on several existing nonprofit pages (e.g., National Park Foundation, Girls Who Code, etc.) to ensure consistency.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Recycle Across America (June 26)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by LR.127 was:

Your draft shows signs of having been generated by a large language model, such as ChatGPT. Their outputs usually have multiple issues that prevent them from meeting our guidelines on writing articles. These include:

Promotional tone, editorializing and other words to watch
Vague, generic, and speculative statements extrapolated from similar subjects
Essay-like writing
Hallucinations (plausible-sounding, but false information) and non-existent references
Close paraphrasing

Please address these issues. The best way to do it is usually to read reliable sources and summarize them, instead of using a large language model. See our help page on large language models.
