Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by CNMall41 was:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

The references used in this draft are mainly press releases or unreliable. There is an Entrepreneur source, but it is written by a contributor and not a staff writer, leaving it unable to establish notability by Wikipedia standards. Please review WP:RS and WP:FIRST.

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:Shift4 Payments and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Hello, Paul.jonah.paul! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! CNMall41 (talk) 17:29, 29 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

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

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.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

This article contains a lot of uses of what are either chemistry terms or marketing buzzwords, and Wikipedia only likes to see the first one in articles.

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:Shift4 Payments and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Your recent article submission has been rejected. If you have further questions, you can ask at the Articles for creation help desk or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help. The reason left by K.e.coffman was: This topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia. The comment the reviewer left was: Does not meet WP:NCORP.

Please do not use Wikipedia to promote businesses, like you did in the article Draft:Shift4 Payments. Wikipedia is not a trade directory. If you want to list a company for potential customers to find, please consider alternative outlets. Thank you. K.e.coffman (talk) 01:43, 15 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Paul.jonah.paul. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Paul.jonah.paul. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Paul.jonah.paul|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. Theroadislong (talk) 20:19, 22 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Theroadislong: There are multiple disclosures on the Talk page of the draft stating that I work for the company. They are located here: Draft talk:Shift4 Payments#Excerpts of Analyst Reports, Draft talk:Shift4 Payments#Request for Comments re: Draft: Shift4 Payments, and Draft talk:Shift4 Payments#Request Admin Help. I am not a paid editor. My company is the subject of the article. Paul.jonah.paul (talk) 17:04, 7 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If you work for the company then you are deemed to be a paid editor and need to disclose this on your user page. Theroadislong (talk) 17:25, 7 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Shift4 Payments, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as Start-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. Most new articles start out as Stub-Class or Start-Class and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider leaving us some feedback.

Thanks again, and happy editing!

Hello, I see that you've added talk page requests with embedded REF tag references in them. Please remember to add {{reflist-talk}} to the end of your sections in future, to attach the references to your talk page section, so that they do not get mixed up with any other such references within the talk page, and get associated with the correct conversation. (You may also wish to clean up the talk page by adding this template to the end of other sections that may also be missing the reflist-talk tag.) -- 67.70.27.246 (talk) 09:11, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
