      The way you have things formatted may be a bit wonky, as you have subtitles directly under other subtitles, and those then become a small blurb that lead to a picture.
      
      Another problem may be the clump of videos you have; if they're absolutely necessary try to break them up with some commentary.
      
      The amount of bold words, and the use of dashes in place of em dashes could also be a contributor to the problem in the section: Rescue Procedure Philosophy: Ride With the Tide, Not Against it!
      
      Maybe try to incorporate that Amazon capsule into the article itself with a hyperlink rather than the capsule. I never pass QAP when I try to incorporate Amazon capsules.
      
      Finally, I'd work on making your title more relevant, and the subtitles more pithy. This felt more like a personal story about a food product, rather than an article about the food product itself.

      The best way to get your article moved to Delishably is to look at the articles that are already on the site.  Take a close look at how they are written and formatted and then do the same with your article.

   Hi Diana, one problem is the title. Is the article about a cake-filling or a pudding?

   I see this article is about six years old Diana. I guess you are updating it to try to have it moved to Delishably? I have found that Delishably seems to be rather hard to get your recipe articles moved to recently. I wrote one about a month ago thinking it would go straight there, but no, it sits on Discover still.

      Yes, I did apply to move it to Delishably.  I haven't had too much problem getting recipe articles accepted there, although the Team usually find something that needs amending.

   I agree with theraggededge's comment. I started reading the article expecting to find a recipe using poppy seed filling; the special one that you invented. Instead, there are lots of other suggestions relating to a branded product, and only an in-text link to the full recipe of Poppy Seed Diana Pudding.
   
   To get this moved to Delishably, I think you should make the Poppy Seed Diana Pudding your focus. Give the recipe and method in full, upfront. Next include all the folky detail about how you came to invent it. And then near the end, add other related information. The other ways of using the branded product should be right at the end as an afterthought.
   
   Your pudding sounds delicious. Good luck.
