Draft:South Richland, Washington
| Submission declined on 28 June 2024 by SounderBruce (talk). 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.

| Submission declined on 28 June 2024 by Bkissin (talk). 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. The proposed article does not have sufficient content to require an article of its own, but it could be merged into the existing article at Richland, Washington. Since anyone can edit Wikipedia, you are welcome to add that information yourself. Thank you. Declined by Bkissin 33 hours ago. | |
Comment: Too close to a local directory or chamber website. Needs more independent sources that focus solely on South Richland rather than the region as a whole. SounderBruce 22:48, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Map supposedly showing South Richland seems to show Kennewick. None of the sources seem to specifically cover South Richland and focus more on Richland itself. Additionally, the word choice in the lead (and later in the article) is very WP:PEACOCKY or promotional. Bkissin (talk) 15:32, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
