Welcome!

[edit]

Hello, BillStackhouse, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, which will be reviewed by other editors. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

Information icon Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:A blueprint for business architectures, from its old location at User:BillStackhouse/sandbox/A Blueprint for Business Architectures. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. Wikishovel (talk) 19:15, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Please refrain from making edits generated using a large language model (an "AI chatbot" or other application using such technology) to Wikipedia pages, such as those you made to Draft:Bill Stackhouse. Your edits have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Thank you. AlphaCore talk 21:05, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 The comment the reviewer left was:
From the sourcing, I simply do not think this is notable. Citation 1 is just the paper itself which doesn't help towards notability. Citation 2, while a real paper, leads to a broken link. I tracked down that paper and it makes no mention of this paper; even if it did, it would likely be brief mentions. Citation 3 makes no mention of the paper, and citation 4 is by the same author. All of this to say.. notability has not been sufficiently established. You need to find multiple reliable, secondary sources that cover the subject in-depth and are independent. Even if we look at WP:JOURNALCRIT (although I am unsure it applies here), its criteria states it should be influential, frequently cited by other sources or be historically important. Unless you can prove this paper is both notable and influential in the subject area, I would say the chances of this being accepted are slim.

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

Please do not resubmit without a rework. The draft is AI-generated and not in a Wikipedia standard structure or content format.

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue).

Drafts

[edit]

Please note that drafts such as Draft:Bill Stackhouse are not allowed to be filed in categories next to finished articles in mainspace, per both WP:DRAFTNOCAT and WP:USERNOCAT. It doesn't matter if it's in draftspace or userspace — the page must stay out of any categories while it's in draft or sandbox mode, and may be added to categories only if and when it gets accepted and moved into mainspace by an WP:AFC reviewer. As the page has already had to be removed from categories seven times today by myself or other editors, do not readd it to categories again — and please note that there can be consequences for disruption, such as the immediate deletion of the page and/or the partial or total removal of your editing privileges, if you do not stop trying to readd it to categories.
