Comment: The filter only tags with "possible promotion," so it's okay to have FPs. (It seems like "of businesses" is commonly used in a promotional fashion.) Rusty 🐈 21:41, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Edit was not disallowed though a change to the filter may be needed. It did trip when it matched on businesses, so it's likely a false positive despite not adding any promotional material. Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 22:33, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Donat (filter log) (user filter log)

Description

The page used to be a disambiguation page, but I edited it and added enough content to it to make it into an article. I did so, because I first wrote an article with this title: Donát; and got this feedback when I submitted the draft: "The proposed article does not have sufficient content to require an article of its own, but it could be merged into the existing article at Donat. Since anyone can edit Wikipedia, you are welcome to add that information yourself. Thank you."
