03:35:05, 12 May 2019 review of submission by E-Stylus

Would it be possible to share an anticipated review timeline for draft submissions at the 8 week mark? I've noted my COI disclosure on the draft's talk page, however I understand that the AfC process is a volunteer effort. Thanks. E-Stylus (talk) 03:35, 12 May 2019 (UTC)

Hi E-Stylus. Over 800 drafts have been awaiting review longer than Draft:Hily (app), with the longest wait currently being 14 weeks. You can monitor these numbers by checking Category:AfC pending submissions by age/Very old every week or so (starting next week, the draft isn't in the very old category yet) to see how many drafts are ahead of yours on the list. Volunteers are not required to work on the oldest drafts first, but some do, so the draft should gradually move up the list. --Worldbruce (talk) 14:23, 12 May 2019 (UTC)

Why is this taking so long 2600:1700:F260:C6B0:94D0:F538:97AE:87F7 (talk) 07:53, 12 May 2019 (UTC)

It is taking so long because the demand for experienced Wikipedians willing to volunteer their time doing this work exceeds the supply of such editors. At the present rate, you can expect the draft to be reviewed again within the next three months. Perhaps you can find solace in Wikipedia:There is no deadline. --Worldbruce (talk) 14:32, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
