I'm copy/pasting your question from my talk page and my response from there to here, because my reply on my talk page will eventually be auto-archived, and I wouldn't want you to miss it.
Hello I tried to create and submit a article on Pelco Inc or Pelco by Schneider Electric now.. (www.pelco.com). I realize the importance of primary source documents to ensure there is no manipulation of information or false information posted on the most accurate encyclopedia ever made! I have tried since my initial submission to find more reliable sources but I am uncertain if they meet your criteria even after reviewing the rules provided. For example this news website: http://www.fresnobee.com/2010/10/31/2139523/clovis-based-pelco-to-take-on.html talks about the integration of Pelco to Schneider (Is this site worthy of citation?) In college this would not fly as a primary source or reliable source for the majority papers I would write. Conversely, there is almost no physical literature, .edu's or .org's with information about Pelco's early history, and a lot of questionable content out there describing Pelco's more recent history. From what I read, Wikipedia also prefers not to have many sources from the company's website to help prevent advertisement/business oriented pages..So I tried to stay away from using their content, but I'm at a loss as to where to find more reliable content on Pelco than their actual website. Any suggestions / advice would help very helpful. I would like to create this page because I've been in the security camera business for awhile, I feel like Pelco has been a big part of the american security industry and that the brand will die out sooner than later and I think its worthwhile information. All advise / suggestions would be great, Thank you! Aruegger (talk) 15:07, 11 December 2012 (UTC) Andrew

I have spoken with a few Wikipedia monitors and I can still not get my page live due to the sources I use: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Pelco
One monitor listed specific references that were acceptable for my content, I reviewed them and they validate the content of my article. I read through the new contributors guide, the golden rule, and reliable source guide and I'm frankly at a loss for what exactly it is I need to do to get my article live. Please provide as many suggestions as you can so I can properly do this, I'm not intentionally re-submitting just for the hell of it. I can't tell if some of the sources I have listed are being red flagged or if I don't have enough valid sources, or perhaps even what section of my article is not supported by the sources I have as citations. Please provide direction. Thank you! – User:Aruegger 18:03, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
