Want original article back to work on!

Hi @Sjb72 Thank you for having a clear profile description for next steps. My first article was deleted - "Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Garen Armstrong"

I have re-wrote this article! Not sure how to proceed. Thank you so much.

If you have rewritten it so it has a neutral tone and doesn't read like you're promoting him, then by all means, post the new draft page. I would also double check he meets the notability requirements too, otherwise the article will not be allowed to move into mainspace. Stephen! ^Coming... 12:40, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

Thank you @Sjb72. If you don't mind me asking, what's the proper way to post the new draft page? I previously attempted, and it was deleted for duplicate Talk page of a nonexistent or deleted page.

Thank you!

The notification you're describing is for deletion of a talk page when there is no main page associated with it. Looking the logs, you posted it on Draft talk:Garen Armstrong, when it needed to go onto Draft:Garen Armstrong. Stephen! ^Coming... 13:21, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

@sjb72 Thanks for clarifying. I’ve updated the draft by adding the required information directly onto Draft:Garen Armstrong instead of Draft talk:Garen Armstrong. The submission now focuses on presenting a neutral, fact-based summary of Armstrong’s career, advocacy, and health journey, with citations from independent sources to support notability. Please let me know if any further adjustments are needed.

@Sjb72 - Should I submit the draft for review to proceed? Justinmorris9343 (talk) 17:52, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

As it stands, it will be rejected as not meeting the notability requirements. You will need to demonstrate why he is notable, and provide proof from reliable third party sources. Yes, you have provided references, but neither press releases nor court documents can be used to demonstrate notability.

Have a read of the General Notability Guidelines and the notability requirements for people. If you cannot demonstrate that he meets these requirements, the article will never pass. Have a read of what counts as a Reliable Source.

Until that point, I would recommend keeping this as a draft article. Stephen! ^Coming... 12:41, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Reminder to participate in Wikipedia research

Hello,

I recently invited you to take a survey about administration on Wikipedia. If you haven’t yet had a chance, there is still time to participate– we’d truly appreciate your feedback. The survey is anonymous and should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement.

Take the survey here.

Kind Regards,
