- No draft specified!

Dr. Ismat Beg (talk) 06:32, 11 July 2016 (UTC) I am not good in using computer and understanding these instructions to modify. I mentioned the source of my school as a reference as well.Dr. Ismat Beg (talk) 06:32, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft was a copyright violation and has been deleted. Since your draft and your user name are the same, it also appears that your draft may have been an attempt to publish an autobiography, and those are discouraged (but are forbidden if they are copyright violations).

We are not sure why our page was deleted. It was a page for a real travel and lifestyle magazine covering the US Southern Appalachian mountains and we were starting to build its history as many others have done. The reviewer stated that we were promoting a business as the reason. We see hundreds of magazine articles in Wikipedia, what is the distinction?

Hi Aanguelo. Please clarify what you mean by "we". The policy on Wikipedia is "one user—one account". Usernames should not be shared by multiple individuals.

I didn't see Montefino Magazine before it was deleted, but suspect the answer to your question lies in your comment, "This is a new magazine and we are starting to document its history and chronology..." Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. It summarizes what reliable, independent, secondary sources have said about topics. Over the years, many reliable sources have published information about Billboard, People, and other well-established magazines. If Montefino Magazine is new, odds are that few if any independent reliable sources have written about it in any depth, in which case it does not belong in Wikipedia. This is not the place to "get the word out" about anything. The formal guideline is the general notability guideline, but you may also find these opinions informative:

You have been told twice that it doesn't read like an encyclopedic draft. What are you trying to accomplish by submitting your draft to AFC? We aren't interested in helping you set up a company, but you don't even have a company. What is your objective? Robert McClenon (talk) 02:51, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
