Your submission at Articles for creation: Société de Lecture of Geneva (February 17)

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

Thank you for your submission, but the subject of this article already exists in Wikipedia. You can find it and improve it at Société de Lecture of Geneva instead.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Two copies of this page have been created, in draft space and in article space. It is not necessary to create two copies of the same page, and it annoys the reviewers. This is sometimes done in order to bypass Articles for Creation review. However, if a submitter is ready to have the article in article space, it can be moved into article space, rather than creating a copy. It is common for a page that has been duplicated in draft space and in article space to be nominated for deletion or proposed for deletion.

If the article is kept, this draft should be redirected to the article. If the article is deleted, this draft may be kept for future improvement.

This draft is either essentially the same as the article with the same name, or a subset of the article with the same name. The draft will be replaced by a redirect from draft space to the article.

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:Société de Lecture of Geneva 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:Société de Lecture of Geneva, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, Library69! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing.

If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself!

Hello @Robert McClenon Thank you for taking the time to review my article. It's true that this article already exists in my Sandbox but since I received a notification that it would take three months for volunteers to validate it, I thought I would redo it without failure and republish it directly as an article without waiting the three months. This is probably a mistake on my part. I'm sorry about that. I'm a little green on Wikipedia... This is actually the English translation of the article I already wrote in French(https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soci%C3%A9t%C3%A9_de_Lecture). Would you be so kind as to tell me how I can now publish the latest version of my article by deleting the one in the Sandbox? If you have any other suggestions to improve my article, please do not hesitate. Thank you in advance for your help. Have a nice day.Library69 (talk) 08:47, 18 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again @Robert McClenon Actually, I just looked at my article in French. There is already the link to find the translation of my last text in English. So it's perfect!Now, how do I delete my text in my sandbox? I don't want to drive the Wikipedia volunteers crazy... ;-) Many thanks for your help.Library69 (talk) 08:59, 18 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
