Wikipedia Draft Decline & Rescue Review
Find out whether the Wikipedia draft is fixable or the subject is not ready.
A decline can reflect weak sources, promotional writing, conflict-of-interest handling or a subject that does not currently meet notability expectations. Stonebridge reviews the record and gives a policy-grounded recommendation before another submission.

View case study →Why was my Wikipedia draft declined?
Common reasons include insufficient evidence of notability, unreliable or non-independent sources, promotional tone, citation failures or draft structure. The reviewer’s exact notice and the source record should be assessed together.
What is the difference between a bad draft and a non-notable subject?
A bad draft may be repairable when strong independent sources exist. If those sources do not exist, rewriting cannot solve the underlying eligibility problem.
What does G11 mean?
G11 is Wikipedia’s speedy-deletion criterion for pages that are unambiguously promotional and would require fundamental rewriting to become encyclopedic.
Can Stonebridge rewrite and submit the draft?
Stonebridge can conduct research and prepare compliant off-wiki analysis or draft support. Current English Wikipedia guidance restricts direct use of LLM-generated article content, and paid or conflicted involvement must be disclosed.
Should I resubmit immediately?
Usually not until the decline reasons and source strength are understood. Repeated submission without material improvement can create additional scrutiny.
Can you guarantee the draft will be accepted?
No. An AfC reviewer decides whether to accept a draft. Stonebridge can audit the decline, assess the sources, prepare a compliant revision plan and carry out the work agreed in writing. Any Stonebridge guarantee applies only to the specific accepted project and contractual deliverable; it does not bind Wikipedia’s reviewer.
