When are submissions removed or not approved?

This happens if a post is deemed to be of off-topic or inappropriate. In other words, it meets one or more of these criteria:
 

• Has no actionable growth/marketing takeaway
• Is just a list of product features
• Is a landing page for products
• Is obviously an overly self-promotional
• Has content so basic that it could be found by simply Googling it
• Is cursory level overview of any topic
• Is about general business, general internet use, IT, blog setup, WordPress, Magento, etc
• Is about increasing startup/team productivity in some way
• Is worded using poor language or sentence structures
• Is on a domain full of spammy links or non-relevant sidebar advertisements
• Is submitted by a company name or fake name
• Is not in English
• Has been plagiarized
• Has content where more than ¾ of it regurgitates higher-value content and does not add any value over and above what’s been referenced
• Is a duplicate of existing content, just from a different URL
