The draft has no content. It is only a question. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:37, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

13:39:26, 2 September 2016 review of submission by Harryhyett

I cannot understand why the page is being contested. It follows all the guidances that I've read about. I've even added 6 more sources are requested. Can you please tell me exactly why the page is being deleted while similar company pages are fine. The speedy deletion request bares no reason. As the guidelines it outlines are not remotely true for the page created.

Your question has to do with multiple pages. The first, shown above, is Draft:mp3TrueEdit in draft space. It has been declined. You created it after a previous page in article space was speedy-deleted, evidently as containing nothing but a link to the web site (which is not sufficient). You have also, after your draft was declined, created a new page in article space, Mp3trueedit. Creating a page in article space while you have a page in draft space would seem tendentious to a reviewer, and might be seen as an effort to game the system. I disagree with the speedy deletion nomination of the page in article space, but I don't think it should be in article space, and think it could be nominated for deletion. The real problem is that the sources don't appear to be independent. Please do not create multiple copies of pages on the same subject. It doesn't increase the likelihood of acceptance, and it annoys the community. Robert McClenon (talk) 14:46, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- No draft specified!

Why was my article submission declined? I do need help in formatting it correctly! Thank you, Doug 24.38.227.246 (talk) 14:40, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is the only edit that you have made from this IP address, and you didn't identify the declined draft. Please identify the declined draft. Please also consider creating an account so that you will have a more stable edit history. Robert McClenon (talk) 14:48, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I created firstly the article, then it was deleted. Afterwards, I submitted it for a review and I was declined for the reasons mentioned in the article. The organisation is very relevant in Serbia and active in working on high level diplomacy and there are numerous references in media. Can you help me in editing it to become good?VuXman ^talk 16:56, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You created three copies of the article. The first was Centre for Contemporary Politics, in article space. It was deleted as promotional. Then you created Draft: Centre for Contemporary Politics. It was declined for notability reasons. It also has too many redlinks. Then you created User:Serbianboy/sandbox, which is almost identical to the declined draft. Which version do you want to work on? Creating multiple copies of drafts does not increase your likelihood of acceptance, but annoys the reviewers. Both the sandbox and the version in draft space have too many redlinks. Which version do you want to work on? Robert McClenon (talk) 18:17, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

They are the same versions. I would like to work on the one that is in my sandbox.VuXman ^talk 12:23, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have requested that the version in draft space be deleted to make way for the version in your sandbox. Both versions have too many redlinks. Robert McClenon (talk) 21:35, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
