| == Article deletion (Draft:Ira Vouk) == | |||
| Dear Jimfbleak. Thank you for your quick revision of ]. It was deleted by you due to "G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion". I would like to inquire if it's allowed to re-write the page in a different manner and remove any references that may be deemed promotional? Ira Vouk is a notable figure in the hospitality industry and I believe that her contributions deserve a wiki page. I admire her for her work but I'm capable of remaining neutral and producing a less "colorful" article. Will you consider reinstating the draft so that I can edit it? If not, would you be so kind to suggest any other options that are available for this article to exist in wiki space? | |||
| sincerely, | |||

| Hi Jimfbleak. At 12.14 today you deleted ], it has now been recreated as ]. As far as I can recall, this is identical to the deleted article. Presumably the same argument for deletion holds for the recreated article, whilst as the editor is just copypasting ] under different titles should the user-page also be rev-delled? - ] (]) 12:52, 14 October 2023 (UTC) | |||

| {{ping|Jimfbleak}} You gave me no time to respond - I'd only just started the article. I assumed an article in Draft was not public and therefore not subject to Copyright, so I copied the information from its source to start the article, so I didn't have to flick back and forth across various sources. I had no intention at all of publishing the material as it was, to the public. Can you please either remove or hide the section of the article body that contains the copyrighted information and reinstate the article, or undelete the article so I can do this myself? ] (]) 21:31, 15 October 2023 (UTC) | |||

| ::@] Thank you for responding. I didn't know the general public could read an unfinished, unpublished Draft. The information I copied was only to have access to key dates in the history of EPTA, tiresome to have to fick back and forth between pages. But at no time was I intending to publish the copied text as is, and it was never my intention to deliberately "make work for others to perform". Can Sandbox be used to draft the article without being continually pulled down while it's under construction? ] (]) 22:02, 15 October 2023 (UTC) | |||

| ::::Thank you for ]. “Gobsmacked” as you say you are, it has not been my practice to create new articles, only to help improve existing ones. This is only the third article I have in ten years attempted, the first two in 2016, and both of them started their lives in Sandbox, not as Draft articles. This draft met its end within an hour of being started. Nevertheless, I hope someone will soon be inspired to write an article for ], as it is mentioned in , and seems to me notable enough to warrant its own article. | |||

It is not currently pending review,” which I took to mean that no-one other than me could see it.

| == Unreasonable deletion == | |||
| I would like to know as to why the draft on Podim Conference was deleted. The event is of significant importance for entrepreneurship in Maribor and the wider country of Slovenia, as well as the Balkan area. The sources are various websites, even government websites, and newspaper websites that contribute to the legitimacy of the event. I have found similar events on Misplaced Pages as well, for example, Slush (event), which seems to be okay? The page for Podim was done in a similar manner. Granted, the conference is much smaller in scale, but its roots go way back to 1980 when the event first happened. The purpose of the page is definitely not advertisement by any means, just represents the role it has in the region, as well as the validity of the event. | |||
| Feedback as to why it was so promptly deleted would be greatly appreciated, as well as some tips on how to improve it or make it appropriate for Misplaced Pages. Thank you in advance. | |||

Deletion of the Jeannie Deva page
Hi there! I realize my publication of the page was too hasty and I didn't make the text original enough, nor did I add enough varied sources. I sincerely apologize. I did do a lot of research though and spent a lot of time building the page so I wouldn't want it to go completely to waste. Would it be possible to retrograde the page back to a community draft? I'm not sure if that's possible on Misplaced Pages so I was wondering if you could help me out. Cheers. CanadianRocky69 (talk) 15:51, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

Deleting Draft Pages of Notable Individuals
You hastily made assumptions on my notable person qualifying draft that was properly initiated using conflict of interest statement. Please restore to draft asap as this is not completed and numerous citations of reliable news sources and independent citations will be made prior to submission. Thanks. Mark D.

Deletion of Draft Gael Rakotondrabe English translation user:ALTWIKI23
Hey, on the 11th of October you deleted my translation draft French to English for Gael Rakotondrabe's wiki page. I do not understand why since I translated almost word per word the existing French text, and included all the references. I thought this draft should be uploaded as a translation for Gael Rakotondrabe's existing French page, since he worked mostly within English-speaking environments. How can this draft be uploaded, and what should I change for it to be accepted as a translation?
ALTWIKI23 (talk) 11:01, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
- ALTWIKI23, not sure what you are asking me. Draft:Gael Rakotondrabe exists, I just moved it from the incorrect article title User:ALTWIKI23/Gael Rakotondrabe, which I then deleted as pointless. Look at your contributions tab Jimfbleak - talk to me? 12:52, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
- alright thanks, I am still confused with the workflow of wikipedia. Do you know a way to publish it as a translation to the French wiki page of Gael Rakotondrabee? As a none-experienced editor I do not have the possibility to do so.
- Thanks for any help. ALTWIKI23 (talk) 13:28, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
- ALTWIKI23 When you are ready, clip the blue corner of the AFC box. Before you do that, you need to make sure all text is cited (discography doean't need refs) and clean up the refs, some of which are a mess. You also need to add {{Translated page|fr|Gael Rakotondrabe}} to the talk page and save Jimfbleak - talk to me? 14:47, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
- ALTWIKI23 the problematic refs left (I fixed a couple) are using French Misplaced Pages templates, don't work here Jimfbleak - talk to me? 14:56, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
Deletion entry Gebhard Schertler
Dear @Jimfbleak:, I noticed you deleted my entry of the austrian scientist Gebhard Schertler. I disclosed that the entry was paid and on his behalf. The deletion note says "supposed sources entirely his own papers, other "facts" mostly unreferenced to RS." Do I get this right that such an entry needs more independent sources apart from himself and his employing research institute? However, how should I quote scientific papers that he has now written himself as the entry is about his work? Thanks J. Berndorff (talk) 10:38, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

Conflict of interest
Patrickwatsondev, new to Misplaced Pages here. Hi there, where was I too promotional? I received a COI flag? Is this about my recent edits to cornus obliqua or my submitted article for the cloud provider I use? I also want to clarify I have never been paid to write anything for Misplaced Pages and haven't worked with AerisWeather's products in long enough/have a net-negative enough relationship with those folks' customer service that I definitely would consider that the opposite of a conflict of interest - I've remained wholly committed to the truth. 13:06, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

Deletion entry Lou-Marié Kruger
Hi, you deleted my entry on the psychologist and author Lou-Marié Kruger. While I do cite her own work I do also cite independent articles on her and her book. Could you please reverse the deletion and allow me to edit accordingly. I think a deletion in this regard is slightly hasty, please allow for revision.
