Created by Bellevuewinegal (talk). Nominated by Donnie Park (talk) at 02:56, 22 January 2016 (UTC).

  • Lua error: expandTemplate: template "y" does not exist.
  • Since the article creator is nowhere to be seen for a week, I've requested the article to be copyedited, so until then let's see how this goes. Donnie Park (talk) 20:05, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
  • Template:U, I think it needs to be completely rewritten, not copyedited; but as you say, let's see how it goes. I'm sorry that this has not gone well for you. I simply can't understand why we allow COI editing in draft space – this sort of thing is the inevitable result. Taking a cynical view, is it surprising that the article creator is not around? She's done her job, perhaps collected a fee for it, moved on to the next thing. In case you hadn't noticed: Bellevue, Washington is where Shoup is from. I'm still completely willing to to look at this again if we have an acceptably neutral article and a different hook. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 23:55, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
  • Symbol delete vote.svg Agree with Template:U. This article suffers from serious COI, promotional language, and notability issues. The AfC was rejected by the first reviewer, whose decision was probably correct. -Zanhe (talk) 22:06, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
  • Template:UTemplate:U The next question is how was this allowed to pass WP:AfC, when the same group declined Draft:Nic Case? Because of this nomination, I feel I made a fool out of myself. Also since I want to retract the nomination, can I use the review to be redeemed for a future nomination since I have some more articles to nominate this year.

  • Template:U, I said above and will repeat here: I believe that your nomination was made entirely in good faith. If it has turned out to have been a not-so-great idea, that doesn't make a fool of you. We all make mistakes, and perhaps can learn from them. I also believe that the article was created in good faith; I don't personally think it should have been accepted, but I don't see any value in going over that ground now. I'm afraid I don't know if you can recycle your QPQ, I hope that some more experienced reviewer will answer that. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 18:42, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
  • Template:Re There was a recent discussion on WT:DYK about whether a QPQ for a failed nomination could be reused, and I think most people answered yes. Search the archives for details. -Zanhe (talk) 20:54, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
Found the link: Wikipedia talk:Did you know/Archive 119#Is it allowed to reuse reviews for QPQs if a nomination has been (correctly) rejected?. -Zanhe (talk) 20:57, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
