Sorting in categories

When linking an article to a category, you can tell the category how to sort the article alphabetically by using a piped link. For example, [[Category:Baroque composers|Bach, Johann Sebastian]] will alphabetize Johann Sebastian Bach in Category:Baroque composers under B instead of J.

A tag has been placed on Tsontcho (Sean) Ianchulev, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. ... discospinster talk 13:57, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Help me![edit]

Please help me with...

I have created an article in draftspace, Draft: Tsontcho (Sean) Ianchulev, and would like to minimize the likelihood of deletion after publication. Therefore, I would like to request the inputs of Wiki volunteer editors to review the draft before I move it into the main section. How do I go about requesting this assistance from more experienced Wiki editors?

Please appreciate that I am new to Wikipedia, and still have much to learn.

Thank you!

As a newish editor, you are advised to use the articles for creation process to submit your draft for review by experienced editors before moving it to article space. The process can be painfully slow, however.
The main reason your article was deleted appears to be because it was considered to be too promotional. Your current draft still suffers from this problem, but also would be declined because is lacks the required in-line citations for biographical information. The most serious hurdle, however, will be notability which is something the AfC reviewers are keen to examine before accepting an article. Notability, in the way Wikipedia uses the term, is based on what secondary sources say about the subject. You can make a case for notability on the talk page of your draft by pointing out the most important indicators of notability that you can show for your subject - having too many references on a draft can hinder this process. We want to see independent, in-depth coverage published in reliable sources.
You should definitely not move this draft to mainspace yourself. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 00:15, 15 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, SharkWhisperer. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Tsontcho (Sean) Ianchulev".

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.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! JMHamo (talk) 09:05, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
