+:Wikipedia is an [[encyclopedia]] and [[WP:DICT|not a dictionary]]. We cannot accept articles that are little more than definitions of words or abbreviations as entries. A good article should ''begin'' with a good definition, but expand on the subject. Please try creating an article at [[wikt:Main Page|Wiktionary]] instead.

+:I'm sorry, but your article appears to read more like an [[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#SOAPBOX|advertisement]] than an entry in an encyclopedia. If you still feel that this subject is appropriate for Wikipedia, please rewrite your proposed article in the form of an encyclopedia entry. Encyclopedia entries should be written from a [[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view|neutral point of view]], and should refer to a range of published, [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|verifiable]] [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|sources]], not just to materials produced by the creator of the item being discussed.

+  |neo=The reviewer left the following comment:'''
+:[[Wikipedia:Avoid neologisms|Neologisms]] are not considered notable unless they receive substantial use and press coverage; this requires strong [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|sourcing]]. Links to sites specifically intended to promote the neologism itself do not establish notability.
+  |lang=The reviewer left the following comment:'''
+:This is the English-language Wikipedia; we can only accept articles written in the English language. Please provide an English-language translation for your article, or visit the [http://www.wikipedia.org Wikipedia home page] to find the version of Wikipedia for your desired language.
+  |joke=The reviewer left the following comment:'''
+:Thank you for your submission.  It appears that your submission is an attempt to be humourous over being [[WP:V|factual]].  As Wikipedia strives to contain only [[WP:V|factual entries]], we can not accept your submission at this time.
+  |npov=The reviewer left the following comment:'''
+:Your article does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a [[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view|neutral point of view]], and should refer to a range of published material. If you still feel that this subject is appropriate for Wikipedia, please rewrite your proposed article in the form of an encyclopedia entry, and make sure to avoid certain [[Wikipedia:Avoid peacock terms|terms meant to show off the subject]].
+  |not=The reviewer left the following comment:'''
+:The proposed article is [[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not|not suitable for Wikipedia]].
+  |blp=The reviewer left the following comment:'''
+:Wikipedia cannot accept articles which are potentially [[Wikipedia:Libel|defamatory]]. All articles about living persons must conform to our [[Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons|biographies of living persons]] policy. [[Wikipedia:Attack page|Attack pages]] are prohibited.
+  |exists=The reviewer left the following comment:'''
+:This article already exists in Wikipedia. {{#ifeq:{{{2|}}}|{{{3}}}||You can find it at [[:{{{2}}}]].|}}
+  |mergeto=The reviewer left the following comment:'''
+:The proposed article does not have sufficient content to require an article of its own, but it could be merged into the existing article {{#ifeq:{{{2|}}}|{{{3}}}|on the same subject.|at [[{{{2}}}]].}} Since anyone can edit Wikipedia, you are welcome to add that information yourself. Thank you.
