Welcome!

Hello, Snoutlunar, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as User:Snoutlunar/sandbox, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

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.

New to Wikipedia? Please consider taking a look at our introductory tutorial or reviewing the contributing to Wikipedia page to learn the basics about editing. Below are a few other good pages about article creation.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, ask me on my talk page. You can also type {{help me}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome! DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:58, 19 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Snoutlunar/sandbox

edit
 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on User:Snoutlunar/sandbox, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

  Hello, I'm DoubleGrazing. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:59, 19 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

DoubleGrazing, hi, I'm Snoutlunar's mentor. I did take a look at the page and actually submitted it for review myself, per their request on my talk page. It didn't seem particularly promotional when I looked at it, however it appears now that two people disagree... It does seem as though Snoutlunar would have to start all over again if they wish to continue working on the article, would it be alright with you if any constructive parts (references, content that wasn't unambiguous promotion etc) that were in the article were readded at User:Snoutlunar/sandbox? Thanks in advance. --Ferien (talk) 16:08, 19 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
Hi @Ferien: please, be my guest, of course; not that you need to ask for my permission. :) Best, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 19:44, 19 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
@DoubleGrazing: Thanks :) just wanted to check with you first as I'm not really involved with the AfC process! --Ferien (talk) 19:48, 19 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
@Ferien: if it helps, I'll try to remember not to review a subsequent draft on the same topic at AfC, so it at least gets the benefit of a different pair of eyes. Cheers, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 19:55, 19 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
