Book review sources

Hello Jimfbleak, sorry to beat a dead horse a little but bit I am going through AfCs on books/authors and noticed that you removed several RS reviews from a draft here. You're right that the quotes from reviewers gave that section a very promotional feel, since the quotes had a lot of bombastic praise, but I think fully removing the reviews contributed to an inaccurate AfC decline since it also removed the evidence for WP:NAUTHOR. Since RS reviews are important for notability, please preserve them somewhere neutral (even a "further reading") in the future. Thanks for your work at AfC! ~ L 🌸 (talk) 23:18, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

Retrieve SeamlessHR

Hi, can you help put back the draft for SeamlessHR? I'd used the draft from the website to curate their profile, which must have contained the materials deemed as puffery but I attempted to mitigate this by linking the stories to their respective evidence in the media. All of the media evidence is tied to each one of the stories. I am happy to remove anything that seems like advertisement. I deem this worthy of being on Misplaced Pages because there are very few firms leveraging technology for HR solutions in Africa, and SeamlessHR being one of them needs to be preserved for people to know and be able to read about them. The piece is not a promotion or advertisement, rather a statement of the firm's growth, and a reflection of development happening in Africa.

Thanks for your work. Happy to chat about this The Terex (talk) 12:27, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

The Terex, SeamlessHR already exists as a draft, and we can't have the article existing as well. Given that the draft is less promotional and better referenced than your text, the latter won't be restored Jimfbleak - talk to me? 12:47, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

Retrieve page Payset

Hey, could you please elaborate on why do you think the article is promotional and should be instantly deleted? I've provided ample references to back up everything that's written, including public data from UK government websites. I don't know how that can not be a valid source. If the article needs further editing, by all means, let me know, but it doesn't merit a page deletion. If the phrasing was a problem, again - let me know and I will fix it.

Appreciate taking the time, I left a reply there, per your request. Thesecondcoal (talk) 12:56, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

Undo salting

Hi, I would like to move Draft:MGH Group to mainspace. I believe the draft is ready for mainspace. You had salted MGH Group in 2011. Thank you for your consideration.Vinegarymass911 (talk) 13:19, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

Vinegarymass911, I've removed external links from your text, per MoS, and made a couple of minor tweaks. Protection changed to autoconfirmed now Jimfbleak - talk to me? 14:37, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

Dario Gil

Hello, I was advised to resubmit my draft of Dario Gil Biography with additional citations which I have. I see you deleted by draft for advertising? Can you please advise. Dcerasani (talk) 16:31, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
