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

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

• in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
• reliable
• secondary
• strictly independent of the subject
  

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

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 after they have been resolved.

• If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:FINIS, Inc and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
• If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.

Hi @Jay8g, thank you for the heads-up and review.

Just to clarify — I’m not affiliated with FINIS Inc. in any way. I created the article purely out of personal interest in swimming and swim tech.

If there are any parts of the article that need revision for tone or notability, I’m happy to work with editors and improve it collaboratively. Thanks again! Dennisaxim (talk) 09:38, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't use AI chatbots to reply to people. Jay8g [V•T•E] 01:30, 3 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dennisaxim. I have moved your article Draft: Finis, Inc back to draft space as the sources do not show notability as per WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:CORPTRIV. The sources are either not independent or are only about the company’s products and not the company itself.

I know it can be very frustrating when a subject you feel is well known is difficult to show notability for, most article writers have probably been there before. But if you can not find reliable, secondary sources that significantly discuss Finis as a company, it might be worthwhile accepting that it is WP:TOOSOON. I am sure there are lots of other great swim related articles you could write as well. -- NotCharizard ^🗨 07:46, 3 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Notcharizard, Thank you for your feedback. I understand the notability concerns and will look for stronger sources about the company. If I can't find them, I'll focus on other swim-related topics instead. Thanks for your guidance! Dennisaxim (talk) 07:54, 3 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
