I just wanted to let you know that I postponed the G13 deletion of Draft:Alter Wiener as it might have potential. Please keep in mind that if a draft is not edited for a 6 month period, it will be eligible for G13 (abandoned draft) deletion.

Tips for your drafts

[edit]

Hi there, I wanted to offer a couple of tips to help with your draft:

  1. Pick a draft and work on that one, it'll get confusing otherwise. Let me know which one you choose and we can delete the other one.
  2. Remove any content not cited to a reliable source (Wikipedia isn't a reliable source, nor are blogs like the Wordpress source, nor is his own autobiography), this type of content detracts from the rest of the article more than you think.
  3. His autobiography is a primary source. Wikipedia is a tertiary source and summarizes what reliable, secondary sources say. One or two small bits from his autobiography are OK as quotes, but the article should mainly be summarized from secondary sources. In a nutshell, we're looking for content summarized from journalistic sources that aren't directly connected to him.
  4. Find at least one or two more reliable sources and summarize some more meaningful content from them.
  5. Remember that less is more, be succinct in summarizing the sources. It's perfectly OK if the article is short, if your references are good. I know you have a lot to say and that Mr. Wiener
  6. I think this has some potential, but it's not quite there yet.

I hope this helps. I know you've worked hard on this for quite a while, I'd like to see it bear fruit. I'll try to keep an eye on this and see if I can't help further, but I'm pretty busy. Best wishes! Waggie (talk) 01:42, 20 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Alter Wiener

[edit]

Hello, Mary OMalley. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Alter Wiener".

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 nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. 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. Legacypac (talk) 09:23, 1 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
