Your submission at Articles for creation: Context-Based Sustainability (March 19)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Chetsford was:

Neologisms are not considered suitable for Wikipedia unless they receive substantial use and press coverage; this requires strong evidence in independent, reliable, published sources. Links to sites specifically intended to promote the neologism itself do not establish its notability.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Context-Based Sustainability and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Context-Based Sustainability, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and save.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello everyone.

This is user Mwmcelroy writing. I am the original author of this article and also the creator (Mark McElroy) of the concept it describes (Context-Based Sustainability, or CBS). I am also the founder and Executive Director of the Center for Sustainable Organizations (CSO), in whose name and through which the CBS method is pushed out to the world. CSO is a public non-profit charity in the U.S. -- a registered 501(c)(3). Everything we produce is produced for the public good.

Thus, far from having a conflict of interest of any kind on this matter, I/we (CSO) are duty-bound to disclose our concept for the public good, which is what the publication of this article on Wikipedia is intended to do. Many others others will contribute to it, I'm sure.

I am also a partner in Thomas & McElroy LLC, whose MultiCapital Scorecard method is also an extended and open-source implementation of CBS.

As stated in the article, both the CBS and MultiCapital Scorecard methods are freely available for end-user application by organizations anywhere in the world who want to use them on a royalty- or license-free basis.

Happy to answer any further questions about this.

Regards,

Mark Mwmcelroy (talk) 23:09, 25 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Inappropriate First- & Second- Person Points of View

Statements of 1st and 2nd person points of view seem only to occur in the form of legitimate third-party quotations that are used. Please say if you disagree. Happy to fix. Mwmcelroy (talk) 00:22, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Kirbanzo. I noticed that you made one or more changes to an article, Sustainability accounting, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Kirbanzo (talk) 18:48, 26 March 2018 (UTC) [reply]

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Context-Based Sustainability, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Kirbanzo (talk) 18:41, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Context-Based Sustainability

The article Context-Based Sustainability has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

There is a HUGE conflict of interest wrt. this article's author (now deleted) and all the sources I could find about this are unreliable business presentation type sources trying to sell / promote this thing (whatever it even is) not write about it in an encyclopedic manner.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
