Welcome![edit]

Hello, RinzaiRamana, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Draft:Peter Ralston, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Peter Ralston[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Draft:Peter Ralston, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
It appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement of https://www.audible.com/author/Peter-Ralston/B001JRZFPS. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. – NJD-DE (talk) 18:38, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

I have made edits to the Peter Ralston wiki page draft in an attempt to resolve the issues presented.

What are my next steps?

Thank you in advance.

RinzaiRamana (talk) 01:12, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The draft is already deleted.

One way to avoid being considered promotional is to lead with the independent references that you think establish notability and summarize very briefly what they say. If that still looks promotional, you need to revise your idea of the kind of references that you should be looking for. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 01:26, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The draft is gone, what next?[edit]

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

I am looking for some more clarity. The draft is now gone?

Does this mean I have to rewrite a new draft in a way that meets your standards?

Is there a way I can pre approve my drafts and make edits so that it has a chance of being accepted?

Regards.

RinzaiRamana (talk) 16:53, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the draft is gone especially considering it was copyright infringement. You would definitely need to rewrite it should you wish to try to submit it again. (Also, I wouldn't call it rewriting if it seems you copied it in the first place.)

As for the second part of your question, I'm not sure what you mean by "pre approve". Bsoyka (talk · contribs) 17:29, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict)

Yes, both your sandbox draft and the draftspace draft about Peter Ralston are deleted.

There is no barrier to you creating a new draft. Just be sure that you've found some good sources that establish notability before you start. If you write by summarizing what those sources say, and keep the tone neutral, you will have a much better likelihood of getting the draft accepted.

But creating a new article is one of the hardest things you could choose to do as a new Wikipedia editor. We often advise people to spend considerable time (2 months? 200 edits?) improving existing articles first. After that experience, creating a new article will still be difficult, but perhaps less frustrating.

The draft process is already there so you can make a few mistakes and get corrections along the way.

And, if you haven't looked at it already, I strongly suggest reading the advice at your first article. Good luck! — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 17:36, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

{{help me}} I have added code to my sandbox page for deletion since I no longer need it. Did I do it correctly?

Thank you for your time.

You did add the template correctly, and the page was deleted. Jake Wartenberg (talk) 01:41, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Peter Ralston (April 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 Paul W 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:

On the face of it, this person appears notable, but the Bloodsport film article makes no mention of Ralston. Also this person was the subject of a previous AfD in 2010 for which consensus was Delete. At the moment, it lacks reliable sourcing that justify the claims made.

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:Peter Ralston 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. Please go to Draft:Peter Ralston, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 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.
