Speedy deletion nomination of User:Rarewaves[edit]

A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Rarewaves, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be advertising which only promotes or publicises someone or something. Promotional editing of any kind is not permitted, whether it be promotion of a person, company, product, group, service, belief, or anything else. This is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages — user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources or advertising space. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

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.

Hello. I'm afraid I might have made a mistake in trying to create a new page. I created the page in my sandbox, then tried to move it to the main Wikipedia site, but I think I mistakenly created the page User:Rarewaves. My user name is Quicksilver Baby - I am not connected with Rarewaves and this is not intended as promotional, merely factual. I'd appreciate your advice in what I should do now. Thanks and my apologies. Quicksilver Baby (talk) 02:18, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for that explanation. What I have done @Quicksilver Baby is restored the text and moved it to Draft:Rarewaves where it awaits review. I'd recommend adding a little more about what it does and why it's notable to make the reviewer's work easier. Let me know if you have any questions. And no apology needed, it's not always intuitive. Star Mississippi 13:18, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Jimfbleak would you consider undeleting this? I'm talking with the editor above and believe the draft is salvageable, although I'm not sure the company is notable. I had just undeleted it myself. Thanks! Star Mississippi 13:37, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Star, I missed that move, restored Jimfbleak - talk to me? 14:01, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks so much for the quick response. Star Mississippi 14:28, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your response, it's much appreciated. Also, thanks for your recommendations about the content. I'll get the hang of this sooner or later!

Best regards. Quicksilver Baby (talk) 14:06, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Rarewaves (October 19)[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 Greenman was:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

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:Rarewaves 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.

Greenman (talk) 18:37, 19 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I just wanted to say thank you for reviewing my draft article, and for the suggestions to improve it. This will be very helpful for me as I (gradually) get to grips with the requirements.

Thanks again and best regards. Quicksilver Baby (talk) 23:40, 19 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

you're most welcome @Quicksilver Baby. @Greenman and I and other editors are happy to help with any questions. Star Mississippi 01:46, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Quicksilver Baby! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Greenman (talk) 18:37, 19 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Concern regarding Draft:Rarewaves[edit]

Hello, Quicksilver Baby. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Rarewaves, 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) 19:02, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Rarewaves[edit]

Hello, Quicksilver Baby. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Rarewaves".

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!} 18:40, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
