Hello Wikipedia, I have submitted my article, however according to the response, I am not sure if the article Draft was properly submitted or not? Is there any way to check if the draft was acceptable for review? Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/David Hilton - Auto Designer Also, is it possible to upload images to the Drat during this waiting period? Thanks in advance! CarGuy.

Hi, yes, this article submission (draft) is waiting to be reviewed. The message saying that it is not waiting to be reviewed is incorrect.
If you own the copyright to an image relevant to the draft, you could upload it at Wikimedia Commons during the waiting period. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 16:10, 4 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have reviewed your submission, unfortunately it has not been accepted for the reasons outlined therein. Bellerophon talk to me 23:11, 4 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This article has been declined, twice, for notability.

We are an accreditation institution with 130 years of history, making us the oldest operating Higher Education institute in the area. I have added references, and would like a further explanation as to the reason for refusal. I am the Director of Admissions at EBC, and am well aware that students do like to review the Wikipedia entry for a school which they are considering (my former employer was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_School_of_Business_and_Finance and I often had students mention information on the Wikipedia page).

Any assistance with getting this article approved, would certainly be thanked!

You need to evidence the EBC has received significant coverage in independent, reliable sources. The references currently listed -- while adequate for establishing the facts they accompany -- do not assist in establishing the notability of the subject. Some media coverage of EBC, however, would.

Please explain why my article is too much like an advertisement. I have changed already but still not approved. PLease advise. Thank you. Br, Ted

Because the submission has no encyclopedic value outside of establishing its existence and its purpose is very obviously to promote its services. This isn't what Wikipedia is for. Bellerophon talk to me 23:31, 4 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
