Proposed deletion of Content analysis of mechanic/syntactic patterns

Hello, Gradeng616. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Content analysis of mechanic/syntactic patterns, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:

edit the page
remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Ways to improve Mixed Methods research on student experiences with writing

Hi, I'm Nick Moyes. Gradeng616, thanks for creating Mixed Methods research on student experiences with writing!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. This article fails to deliver properly referenced and a succinct explanation of a topic in an encyclopaedic style. Please address this, as it currently reads like a student essay. I'll return in a week or two and consider whether of not it merits a discussion for deletion.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Proposed deletion of Disciplinary critique

The article Disciplinary critique has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

WP is not for personal essays

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. ‡ Єl Cid of ᐺalencia ^ᐐT₳LKᐬ 05:01, 3 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Mixed Methods research on student experiences with writing (May 27)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by DGG was:

This submission reads more like an essay than an encyclopedia article. Submissions should summarise information in secondary, reliable sources and not contain opinions or original research. Please write about the topic from a neutral point of view in an encyclopedic manner.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Mixed Methods research on student experiences with writing and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Mixed Methods research on student experiences with writing, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, Gradeng616! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing.

Research methodologies in rhetoric and composition moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Research methodologies in rhetoric and composition, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It also reads like a personal essay and wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?)

I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please follow the confirms on the Articles for Creation template atop the page.

Recent moves to draft

Hi Gradeng616, as you see, this entire bunch of articles has been moved into draft space for the time being. A discussion among New Page Reviewers came to the conclusion that while it is generally OK to leave a single article with the issues present here (excessively essay-styled, under-referenced) to the workings of the gradual Wiki improvement process, trusting that someone will fix it - it is really not a good idea to drop an entire series of articles with identical problems into the system. I'm quite convinced the material is of encyclopedic interest, but Wikipedia needs well-referenced, factual summary articles, not sweeping, essay-style syntheses. Please do attend to the noted issues before submitting these again; they are, after all, fundamentally only questions of style :) Cheers --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 19:14, 23 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
