::I am requiring assistance as my article has been rejected and I am unsure why, the reason is that it isn't suitable fir Wikipedia but why? I have seen many fashion limited companies listed on Wikipedia. Please let me know why our page has been rejected.

::There are three main reasons the draft was rejected. It wasn't [[WP:NOTABLE|"notable"]], which in Wikipedia terms, means there weren't sufficient "in-depth, independent, reliable secondary sources" (Newspapers, books etc). As a company you'll need at least 3 or 4 high quality sources. Lots of poor quality sources is not equivalent to a few good ones.

::The second is that it is promotional - we dislike people linked to a company writing it, because they are generally unable of doing so in the [[WP:NPOV|neutral]] way we require.

::The third issue is that your username indicates more than one person editing - if usernames have to be individual - edit it to be something like "Cool Guy1 at HotSquash London" (beginning can be whatever you want).

::As a side note, I suspect you are an employee of the company. If so, please say, as there are additional requirements you need to follow to avoid being blocked again.

::However - it's not worth doing that until you've found enough good secondary sources to indicate you can support an article on the company. [[User:Nosebagbear|Nosebagbear]] ([[User talk:Nosebagbear|talk]]) 17:53, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
