Why did you have to do that ?

Hello, This article is best moved to draft why nominating it for deletion? @Light Hill Music Madeforall1 (talk) 17:06, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

I have moved the article to draft Madeforall1 (talk) 17:09, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

@Madeforall1 Hi there. Please see WP:AFDTODRAFT as it is not appropriate to draftify article once it has been taken to AfD. I will go ahead and bring it back to mainspace and reinstate the AfD templates, it’ll also not be appropriate if you revert me again. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 17:14, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

Why did you take it there? Why will you nominate my article? I have page creation right, if you can’t improve the article, let it be. Madeforall1 (talk) 17:16, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

Please do not be upset. That is not how it works exactly. Everyone have page creation rights but you have to be sure the subject you want to write about passes any of the WP:SNGs or WP:GNG or anything that applies. I told you already on Reading Beans’ talk page that it doesn’t qualify for a standalone entry hours before I nominated it. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 17:24, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

All I see is references from reliable sites that’s why I started that article. Madeforall1 (talk) 19:41, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

They’re not reliable pieces just as the AfD states. All you need to do is participate at the AfD. Also, please stop your disruptive editing pattern as it’s not the best thing to do at this point. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 19:46, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for your efforts Madeforall1 (talk) 19:49, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

Greetings Sir, I pled you withdraw your nomination and close it, while I work on the article, it’s not my fault those source seam’s promotional but some can be removed, thank you sir for your time, I will really appreciate. Madeforall1 (talk) 05:58, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

I just wanted to confirm @Madeforall1, did you nominate Egungun of Lagos as a way of “getting back”? Because that is the pure definition of bad faith editing. Anyways, I’ll assume good faith and still cast my !vote. Best, Reading Beans 06:42, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello Sir @Vanderwaalforces, please kindly withdrawal your nomination just as I did and it has been closed by @Safari Scribe, Thank you. Madeforall1 (talk) 12:47, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

@Madeforall1 Hi there today. The short answer is “No”. The subject is not notable and I wasn’t a sleepy head when I put up that AfD. I also have no business with you withdrawing any nomination or whatsoever. Your nomination was, as a matter of fact, bad faith and snow kept. I am so good at assuming good faith and as of this writing I am still assuming that you have no special interest in Light Hill Music or another other articles you’ve created. Please see our policy on conflict of interests and declare if you have any. Do not ask me to withdraw any nomination again. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 13:11, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

Okay, I have many topics I want to write about, but at this point I want you to help me start this topic, I don’t want issues with my new topics, they are from reliable sources. Madeforall1 (talk) 13:23, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

That seems fair enough and thoughtful of you. What do you want to write about? Vanderwaalforces (talk) 13:26, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

It’s on Kingdom Achievers Award, it’s a gospel award show that awards notable gospel artists. Madeforall1 (talk) 17:57, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

@Madeforall1, quite a bit notable award. Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 19:43, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Yh, I’ve seen notable references about the award and I don’t know if I can start a draft on it so as I work on it, it gets moved when the article is ready. Madeforall1 (talk) 00:02, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

@Madeforall1 Hi there. Start a draft and when you think it’s ready, submit it for AfC so that a reviewer can cross check. Have a great day ahead. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 05:00, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

Hi VF, help me copy edit Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie for a FAC. Thanks with any help you can offer. Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 14:28, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

@Vanderwaalforces, I don't realise this before nomination, you may add them as your comments at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie/archive2. Wish me well ooo. Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 06:46, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

@SafariScribe Pardon? What should I do please? Vanderwaalforces (talk) 06:58, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

That was a typographically error which I have corrected. The copy edit may now go as a review comment in the FA. Hope this is clearer? Thanks. Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 07:06, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

Orphan

Hey, I think I have sufficiently addressed the Orphan issue you added here; I’m not sure what the issue with the categories is, as this is my first BLP-article. Would you be willing to help? FortunateSons (talk) 12:04, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

@FortunateSons Hi there. You have indeed de-orphaned this article and in a situation like this, be bold in removing the tag from the top of the article. I have removed it already though. For the categories, I have added relevant ones, see this diff for a list. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 13:07, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

Thank you very much, I will do so in the future. FortunateSons (talk) 13:08, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

CSD G13s

Hello, Vanderwaalforces,

Please do not tag expiring drafts too early. We go by the date and time of the last human edit on the draft or sandbox page. In these cases today, an admin went ahead and deleted them but they can choose to untag them and then we wait for another 6 months before they become eligible for CSD G13 deletion again. We have a bot, SDZeroBot that keeps track of expiring drafts and lets us know when they are eligible. Thank you for all of your contributions to the project! Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 18:11, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

@Liz Hello. Did I tag them too early? WP:G13 says if the last human edit to them is six months, then they can be deleted. I am also very much aware of the bot edits that do not count to reset the G13 clock. I am sure all that of the drafts I tagged clearly fell under G13. So I’m unsure why you said I shouldn’t tag them too early. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 18:38, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Hey @Liz. Just noting that I explained this a bit more to Vanderwaalforces via Discord (with images, to make it clearer what we're looking for). Hey man im josh (talk) 19:51, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Yes, I acknowledge this and thank Josh for his explanations. I’ll watch out next time. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 19:57, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
