- Hi Ali, sorry your first-article experience was rough. I closed the AfD as a redirect, so your work is still there, just hidden (see [1]), and if you end up finding more sources some day, you can spin it back out into a separate article again. I can't answer your question about the redlink beyond "sometimes, people put them places where they shouldn't", I'm afraid. I really recommend that you join WiR - many, many editors there have had similarly disappointing first experiences, and they're there to help. There's sure to be someone you're interested in who is notable and doesn't have an article yet, and they have lots of redlists to help you find one. Good luck! -- asilvering (talk) 18:55, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
