Submission declined on 14 October 2023 by Theroadislong (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 Misplaced Pages's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Misplaced Pages, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.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. Declined by Theroadislong 14 months ago.

• Comment: Technical note: I have submitted this only because the earlier templates had been tampered with and the draft was showing as pending although it hadn't been resubmitted. I've then declined it to get it back to the state following the previous decline. DoubleGrazing (talk) 17:08, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
