Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (July 7)

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

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.

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.

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 User:NPAPGPAN/sandbox 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.

Hello, NPAPGPAN! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:11, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, NPAPGPAN. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the Edit Request Wizard), including links or details of reliable sources that support your suggestions;
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to 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 Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicizing, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:12, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of User:NPAPGPAN/sandbox

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on User:NPAPGPAN/sandbox, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

I have renamed your account. Another uninvolved admin will review your unblock request. PhilKnight (talk) 13:43, 8 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it's a start. But your product isn't going to meet our inclusion guidelines, and I'm struggling to imagine that you're here to write about anything else. "Food innovation and patents" isn't encouraging. Can you be more specific? -- asilvering (talk) 09:51, 13 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your reply. I understand your concern and appreciate the chance to clarify. While I originally joined to contribute a neutral, well-sourced article about a patented bread carrier product I was involved in developing, I recognize that this creates a conflict of interest. Going forward, I intend to focus on contributions related to: - Coverage of food technologies and patented innovations that have received independent coverage (e.g. baking methods, packaging, EU-registered industrial designs) - Translation and improvement of Greek food and agriculture-related articles into English - Adding reliable, third-party sources to underdeveloped pages (especially in the area of Mediterranean food culture and bakery equipment) I will avoid editing or creating articles where I have a COI. Instead, I will use talk pages and the {{edit request}} template. My goal is to contribute in line with Wikipedia’s standards of neutrality and verifiability. Thanks again for reviewing my request.

Have you been using ChatGPT or a similar LLM to contribute to this discussion on your behalf? --Blablubbs (talk) 17:00, 17 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I’ve used ChatGPT to help improve the clarity and grammar of my responses, especially since English is not my native language. However, all the replies reflect my own understanding, intent, and position.

I’ve reviewed everything carefully before posting, and I take full responsibility for all content submitted. I understand that Wikipedia discussions should be transparent and reflect the contributor’s own reasoning. I only use AI tools as language support, not as a substitute for my personal judgment or voice. NIKOLAOS PAPAKOSMAS (talk) 18:42, 17 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
