Your submission at Articles for creation: Patricio X. Maya (February 11)

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

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Fails WP:ANYBIO, lacks significant coverage in multiple independent secondary sources.

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:Patricio X. Maya 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:Patricio X. Maya, 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.

Please help me with... Thank you for receiving my question. As I am drafting my first Wikipedia article Draft:Article, can I gently save the gathering sentences and references without pressing the "Publish" button. It was a bit disheartening to have an article to be prematurely rejected, in a form not yet ready to be seen, and at the same time lose all the newly drafted references.

My question boils down to: how can I save as I go along, and be sure not to submit to an editor prematurely.

Many thanks, Mojo18888 Mojo18888 (talk) 08:15, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Mojo18888, you added the template {{AfC submission}}, which submits the draft for review. That template should only be added when the draft is finished, which it sounds like yours wasn't. In future, just add it at the end, when you've finished, and that way it won't get prematurely declined.

Also, rejection is different to getting declined. The former means that the draft has not been accepted and should not be submitted again, and the latter means that it is not ready for mainspace, but that you can resubmit it for evaluation with the changes suggested by the reviewer.

Ping me if you need any more help. Thanks, Giraffer ^{(talk·contribs)} 09:09, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"Publish changes" should be interpreted to simply mean "save changes". It does not mean "publish this to the encyclopedia". The button used to say save changes, but it was changed for legal reasons, to emphasize that all edits are publicly visible, even those that are made to pages other than articles. 331dot (talk) 09:19, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
