Roy Wales moved to draftspace[edit]

An article you recently created, Roy Wales, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Roy Wales (May 23)[edit]

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

Wikipedia cannot reference itself.

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:Roy Wales 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.

Contested deletion[edit]

This page should not be speedily deleted because... I am trying to create a page that will record the important first premieres of some very significant pieces of classical music, partly to correct some inaccuracies that currently exist. I am trying to create the page for Roy Wales that will cover these premieres, I am trying to respond to the feedback from Wikipedia editors as this is the first time I have created a page. The last editor said I had to provide references for the Early Career information, but now that I've done that, I have been tagged for speedy deletion. If it's better to just leave out all the early career information, I can delete that section. Thank you - Simon Wales

The deletion tag is for your user page which has inappropriate external links on it. Theroadislong (talk) 12:42, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
