Talk:Bassam Mahfouz

Contested deletion

This article should not be speedy deleted as being recently created, having no relevant page history and duplicating an existing English Wikipedia topic because A10 only applies to duplicate articles - the draft is not in main/article space and so this article is not a duplicate. The draft has little useful content, what is there can easily be added to the article. AusLondonder (talk) 16:50, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

A less experienced editor put a fair amount of work into that draft. It should have been moved into mainspace, then expanded. AusLondonder, as an experienced editor you should know better. Edwardx (talk) 16:54, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

That doesn't explain why you tagged the mainspace article with A10. I wasn't aware a draft was in existence, I probably should have checked but it doesn't mean you tag the mainspace article. AusLondonder (talk) 17:01, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

When a draft exists, there is a very prominent notice to that effect at the top of the page you are seeking to create. Edwardx (talk) 17:07, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Not when you click a red-link on mobile. Not sure why you feel the need to display this condescending attitude. AusLondonder (talk) 17:17, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

History merge request

The history merge request placed is completely ridiculous. I created this article and copied nothing from the draft. AusLondonder (talk) 17:38, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
