Concern regarding Draft:Marcia Drut-Davis[edit]

Hello, MGGreenwich. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Marcia Drut-Davis, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 14:03, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Marcia Drut-Davis[edit]

Hello, MGGreenwich. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Marcia Drut-Davis".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 18:13, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

New draft[edit]

Hi, can you help me understand what has happened. Last month, you asked for the deleted draft Draft:Marcia Drut-Davis to be restored, which it was, but you don't seem to have edited it at all since. Instead, a different user EveChalier has now submitted a new draft User:EveChalier/sandbox on the same topic for AfC review. What's more, there is significant similarity between the two, suggesting that one has been selectively copypasted into the other.

First question: are the two of you (you and EveChalier) the same user? If not, are you collaborating on this?

Second question: do you still intend to develop Draft:Marcia Drut-Davis? If not, please request for it to be deleted (either blank the contents, or place the {{Db-author}} tag on top of the page) so that I can move the new draft there.

There are also a couple of other things we will need to sort out, but they depend on your answers to these questions. Looking forward to your reply. Thanks, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 05:45, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello DoubleGrazing. Thank you for reaching out for clarification. I'm collaborating with EveChalier on the Marcia Drut-Davis Wikipedia article. She has made some suggestions and edits and has submitted the revised draft under her account. So I will go ahead and delete my original draft now. Let me know what else I can do my end and the other things that need to be sorted out. Again, thank you for your guidance! MGGreenwich MGGreenwich (talk) 15:53, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thanks for clarifying. I can see that the earlier draft has now been deleted, so I will move the new one to that title at some point. I just need to ask for the edit histories to be merged, because since some of the content comes from the earlier draft, we need to keep that on record for correct attribution. Thanks, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:39, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Great! Thank you again -- we really appreciate it. MGGreenwich (talk) 16:46, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Can I ask that you or EveChalier don't resubmit the newer draft until the history merge has been completed and I've had a chance to move the draft into its correct place in the draft space? Otherwise it will show up as a misplaced draft, someone else will get involved, and we'll just go around the houses again. Thanks, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:55, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, Izno has kindly done all that, so the draft at Draft:Marcia Drut-Davis should now be ready for you to continue editing. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:15, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi DoubleGrazing. I have resubmitted the article. Have I done it correctly? Thanks so much! MGGreenwich (talk) 14:06, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi DoubleGrazing. I just want to verify that my resubmission is all set? I removed Marcia Drut-Davis birthdate as I could not find an adequate citation source and the article was being flagged for that. However, the submission is still being flagged under "Submission declined" at the top of the page. How can I fix that? Thanks so much. MGGreenwich (talk) 12:47, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Marcia Drut-Davis (November 6)[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 WikiOriginal-9 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 (see the guidelines on the notability of people). 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:

Not really enough independent, significant sources.

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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Marcia Drut-Davis and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
