Welcome!

Hello, Lkpratt4, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, the page you created, Draft:Amy Smith, does not yet conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and has been moved the draft area. You (and anyone else) can continue to edit it whilst in the Draft area. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources. For footballers, we generally wait until they make their debut in the AFL or AFLW (or win a major award in a lower league). Just being drafted onto a squad isn't enough. When/if she debuts, then the article will be moved to the mainspace.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

Hello, Lkpratt4. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Amy Smith".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. plicit 03:54, 11 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
