Your contributed article, Time Illusion

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Time Illusion. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Temporal paradox. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Temporal paradox – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, 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 removed 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. 331dot (talk) 23:10, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Time Illusion

The article Time Illusion has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Wikipedia is not a place to publish original essays

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 02:42, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

Nomination of Time Illusion for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Time Illusion is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 05:16, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

Could you answer a few questions?

Hello, due to our recent correspondence on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Time Illusion I have a couple of things to ask. I am wondering what the nature of this class project was, and how many of you were involved in it (as you have referred to yourself in the plural) etc. If your purpose is to genuinely improve Wikipedia, perhaps I can offer my help in that case.  InsertCleverPhraseHere  06:25, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

There were 6 of us in this project. The nature of the project was to pick a topic we were passionate about and find a means of expressing it. Since we all use wikipedia frequently and didn't see any articles that combined the elements we used to define our topic, we thought that wikipedia could benefit from having this article written as it provides information in ways that other articles have not. We've read articles that take strictly physical, biological or psychological approaches to time, but not one that universally links all these approaches in a creative way. Our goal was simply to make a good wikipedia page. SO if there is anything we can do to save it that would be amazing.RADDB (talk) 06:32, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

Ok, thats great! It's good to have some more people passionate about Wikipedia. As far as the current article is concerned, now that it has gone to AfD, there isn't much chance of it surviving that process, the guys over there are pretty ruthless :D. Thats ok though, as there are other solutions to the issue that you probably don't know about. The best solution for you guys currently is probably to copy paste the content of the article to a draft. I've done this for you and created a new draft article: Draft:Time as an illusion. You can feel free to edit this article as much as you see fit, and a draft is not subject to the same deletion procedures as articles in the main WP:namespace, which means that you can use the draft URL for your school project. There are actually a lot of tools to help out new editors with their first article, and a lot of them can be found at Wikipedia:Articles for creation. When you feel that your draft is ready to submit, instead of creating an article in the namespace, put {{subst:submit}} at the top of the article. This will add the article to a list of articles to be reviewed by the users over at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Articles_for_creation/Submissions to determine if it is ready for article status or give some constructive criticism on how to improve the article and get it ready.  InsertCleverPhraseHere  06:51, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for all your help and for being understanding, we will keep working on the article to try and make it betterRADDB (talk) 06:55, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

It says on the draft that it is a substantial copy of the actual article. Will this be a problem?RADDB (talk) 06:56, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

Nope. Its just the usual cyber bots trying to clean up stuff (i did copy the article after all). I removed the tag from the article. Leave another message here, or on my [[talk page if you need any more help. Cheers.  InsertCleverPhraseHere  07:04, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

I would consider editing the draft i provided rather than the active article (or edit both), as any edits you have made to the userspace article will be lost (and unrecoverable) when it is deleted.  InsertCleverPhraseHere  22:56, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
