Draft:Motion & Control Enterprises ("MCE"), LLC

Submission declined on 20 November 2023 by S0091 (talk).

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 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.

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.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.
Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.

Resubmit

Please note that if the issues are not fixed, the draft will be declined again.

Comment: Their website is a primary source so not useful for establishing notability and should only be used very sparingly. Also, this needs to rewritten as it just a list of "stuff" and reads like a promotional brochure. You also need to declare your paid relationship which is a different disclosure than a COI and will leave some additional information on your talk page. S0091 (talk) 21:30, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
