Welcome!

[edit]

Hello, RinzaiRamana, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Draft:Peter Ralston, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

I have made edits to the Peter Ralston wiki page draft in an attempt to resolve the issues presented.

What are my next steps?

Thank you in advance.

RinzaiRamana (talk) 01:12, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The draft is already deleted.
One way to avoid being considered promotional is to lead with the independent references that you think establish notability and summarize very briefly what they say. If that still looks promotional, you need to revise your idea of the kind of references that you should be looking for. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 01:26, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The draft is gone, what next?

[edit]

I am looking for some more clarity. The draft is now gone?

Does this mean I have to rewrite a new draft in a way that meets your standards?

Is there a way I can pre approve my drafts and make edits so that it has a chance of being accepted?

Regards.

RinzaiRamana (talk) 16:53, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the draft is gone especially considering it was copyright infringement. You would definitely need to rewrite it should you wish to try to submit it again. (Also, I wouldn't call it rewriting if it seems you copied it in the first place.)
As for the second part of your question, I'm not sure what you mean by "pre approve". Bsoyka (talk · contribs) 17:29, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict)

Yes, both your sandbox draft and the draftspace draft about Peter Ralston are deleted.
There is no barrier to you creating a new draft. Just be sure that you've found some good sources that establish notability before you start. If you write by summarizing what those sources say, and keep the tone neutral, you will have a much better likelihood of getting the draft accepted.
But creating a new article is one of the hardest things you could choose to do as a new Wikipedia editor. We often advise people to spend considerable time (2 months? 200 edits?) improving existing articles first. After that experience, creating a new article will still be difficult, but perhaps less frustrating.
The draft process is already there so you can make a few mistakes and get corrections along the way.
And, if you haven't looked at it already, I strongly suggest reading the advice at your first article. Good luck! — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 17:36, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

{{help me}} I have added code to my sandbox page for deletion since I no longer need it. Did I do it correctly?

Thank you for your time.

RinzaiRamana (talk) 01:10, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You did add the template correctly, and the page was deleted. Jake Wartenberg (talk) 01:41, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
