If you'd like some help with editing or otherwise, you can sign up at the new users log, post a question at the Help Desk, or ask me on my talk page.
Please sign your name on Talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. It is a good idea to read the most recent entries at the bottom of the Talk page of an existing article before making major changes to it, to see if your proposed change has been discussed before. Before I make a major change to an article, I often make a proposal on the Talk page to see if anyone minds.
Again, welcome! -- Ssilvers (talk) 19:10, 12 October 2017 (UTC)

Hello! Adapt16,
I noticed your article was declined at Articles for Creation, and that 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! MatthewVanitas (talk) 20:07, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

- Nationally significant companies can be notable and whereas Reliant is nationally known, making this a resubmitted advertisement is unacceptable; what particularly needs focusing is removing everything only expected at the company website which includes sections 2 and 4. Because your Draft is highly advert-formatted, it qualified for speedy deletion and please see our policies WP:What Wikipedia is not and WP:Paid. Articles are judged by their own merits and, in this case, I'd be willing to accept but only with genuine major independent news in independent news publications, not trade publications, press releases, announcements, mentions, interviews or similar.

editI made some copy edits and left you some comments and questions that you can see when you open the edit screen. Generally, you need to cite more newspaper articles about the company. Good luck! -- Ssilvers (talk) 19:09, 12 October 2017 (UTC)

editGreetings. Your submission is deemed promotional in a few aspects, but mainly your writing style and tone. See WP:PUFFERY and WP:NPOV. Eg, your infobox. You wrote a list of products the company produces, in their specific names. That would be as if selling the products to the readers, like a brochure. Hence, take Huawei as an example. Instead of giving the specific model of the phone, just write smartphone. This also means that your whole section, Products and Engineering Services would need to be omitted wholly. Another thing would be the words, sentences you use. Write them in a more neutral manner, WP:NPOV. This applies to your Recent News section. It is written like a headline tabloid press. As for Governmental Approvals and Testing Procedures and Professional Associations, this is not an encyclopaedic concern. This is more marketing than encyclopaedic knowledge. Anyway, you are very welcomed to post questions to the AfC Helpdesk to get some better advice from editors with more than 10 years of experience. Cheers. EROS message 02:28, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
