I would like to know what I can do to make this article better. The feedback was that it reads like an advertisement but I don’t see how. It‘s facts about a brand new company that was formed in March with a merger between two companies that both have Wikipedia pages... Please advise me as to what I can do! Or if I should start with a completely new article. Thank you.

- Hi Kyrawalenga. Start with independent, reliable sources that contain in-depth information. An example for this company is [1]. The company is too new for much to have been written about it in arms-length sources, so set the topic aside and revisit it in a year or two, by which time more sources may be available.
- Creating new articles is one of the most difficult, time-consuming, and frustrating things a novice Wikipedian can attempt. There are millions of easier and better ways to improve the encyclopedia. See Wikipedia:Community portal for how to help. -- Worldbruce ( talk) 14:54, 17 April 2019 (UTC)

- Hi Eklavya Sakpal. IMDb, being user-generated, is not a reliable source, and should not be used as a reference. -- Worldbruce ( talk) 14:56, 17 April 2019 (UTC)

Is it possible to have more details on why this submission was rejected?
- @ Caitlinmcstravick: - hi there. A good place to start would be the reviewer's talk page User talk:Dreamy Jazz - just hit new section and remember to hit save after you've asked your question. Nosebagbear ( talk) 20:34, 16 April 2019 (UTC)

Sully Dunn is worthy of a page and has over 1,000,000 views on YouTube. He is an original artist that has had a career for nine years.

- @ Robertkove: - hi there.
- All your current sources are primary - facebook, youtube, soundcloud etc - they don't demonstrate the notability of the individual. You need in-depth secondary sources. Nosebagbear ( talk) 20:36, 16 April 2019 (UTC)

We've updated our source list to show more widespread 3rd party acknowledgment of NorthBay VacaValley Hospital. In addition, we have added links to other wiki pages in order to show the notability of this facility.

- RobinEMiller, are you in any way affiliated with the hospital about which you are writing? It is unusual for an individual contributor to refer to him/herself as "we", as it implies shared use. SITH (talk) 14:48, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
"We" refers to a friend helping me with the coding. Former journalist, so I think coding is weird... no offense :-) RobinEMiller ( talk) 15:55, 19 April 2019 (UTC)RobinEMiller

Hello,I like to see if another writer can use the sources I have provided to complete the article I drafted. I have a conflict of interest as the article is about a family member.
I have an external article by NPR as credible source, plus numerous online articles and works of the person I am writing about. Kindly allow me know how to proceed. Thanks

Hi there, I would like to change the title of my Wiki page to Tom Bailey UK (musician)
TomBaileyMusic ( talk) 23:02, 16 April 2019 (UTC)
- TomBaileyMusic, I note that you have blanked your draft, please can you confirm that you want it deleting, as usually blanking a draft is taken to mean you want it to be deleted. If not, please ensure you state your conflict of interest on your userpage. Many thanks, SITH (talk) 14:45, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
- TomBaileyMusic, I see the Draft:Tom Bailey (musician, born 1993) was created, so redirected this one to there. You can welcome to request deletion on the old name if you wish. AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 00:46, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
