Draft:History of the National Hockey League (since 2017) edit

Hello. A featured topic nomination was made based on the History of the National Hockey League. In figuring out whether I would support the nomination or not, I noticed there was a split discussion at Talk:History_of_the_National_Hockey_League_(1992–present)#Move_to_1992–2017? and that you had created Draft:History of the National Hockey League (since 2017). It looks like there was support for a split, so I wanted to know if you intend to move the draft to main space. For reference, the featured topic nomination can be found here: Wikipedia:Featured and good topic candidates/History of the National Hockey League/archive2.

Yes, I do intend to. I haven't been editing lately. I need to take a look at it to see if it is ready. Alaney2k (talk) 20:08, 31 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Never mind, I see it is done! Alaney2k (talk) 20:11, 31 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Yup! We're all good :) I just didn't want to move it without someone involved feeling like it was ready, and they did feel that way! Hey man im josh (talk) 20:12, 31 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
