Retrieve the article: Heshui County Grotto group

Hello Paulmcdonald

Thank you for responding to the deletion so quickly. I have just retrieved it from the last-time deletion, if you could please kindly check the history. I believe there is no more promotional misleading after I have changed the title from "Heshui County Grotto Group" to "Heshui County Grotto group". As further reading of the content will clearly explain that this article has no promotion of any sense but a description of a group of grottoes/ caves of Buddhism in China.

Also could you please let me know what is a good way to remove the speedy deletion tag, since I am not allowed to remove the tag myself? I have communicated with the original tagger, but no reply. It would troublesome, every time, I have to ask the administrator to retrieve article for me after seeing the tag which leads to immediate deletion.

Could you please to help remove the tag of speedy deletion for me or let me know in the newest version, how can I revise to avoid being promotional?

Thank you so much!

Sincerely,

Hello Veronica! There is a good essay at Wikipedia:Why was the page I created deleted? that can point you in the right direction. It did appear to me that the speedy deletion criteria had been met so the deletion was proper. However, we don't always get it right. The essay points you to methods that can help. Yuu might try also check out Wikipedia:Drafts to develop the article with other input rather than starting an article in mainspace. Good luck!--Paul McDonald (talk) 13:54, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi Paulmcdonald!

Thank you for the kind reply and the information above. I have and will check again for the pages you have pointed to to make sure to get this right this time. I think this is a great idea to start the draft first, in this case, may I please have the article back in a draft format without the speedy deletion tag on; and continue working from there. I will make sure to have it reviewed by other administrators before publishing.

Let me know please, thanks again!

Sincerely,
