As mentioned above, you did not successfully submit it for review, because you composed it in Wikipedia's public sandbox rather than in your user sandbox. It has been erased, but it can be recovered and moved into draft space. Do you want someone to help you move it into draft space? Robert McClenon (talk) 03:01, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
